Disney Cruise Line Disney Wonder

In-Room Dining Overview

A card was in the room to hang on the door before 3 a.m. to order breakfast at pre-selected times between 5 and 9:30 a.m. On Disney Wonder the selection was limited to continental breakfast—juices, coffee, tea, milk (skim, low fat, whole, chocolate), breads and pastries, packaged cereal and a fruit bowl.

The standard menu—a bit hidden inside the room services directory—was also somewhat narrow, but included some hot choices and was available 24 hours. We found two salads (Caesar or Niçoise), soups (creamy tomato or chicken noodle), a plate of international cheeses with crackers and a fruit bowl. Sandwiches included a BLT, baguette with ham, turkey and Swiss cheese, hot panini with tomato, basil and mozzarella, or a cheeseburger with fries. Chicken tenders, hot dog, mac and cheese, chicken wings and three kinds of pizzas were available. The two larger offerings were a steak sandwich with fries and a grilled salmon steak served with asparagus and orzo. Snacks—including M&M’s, buttered popcorn, peanuts or cashews—could be ordered at a surcharge.

One morning we called in breakfast and were told it would be delivered within 35 minutes; it arrived in 17 minutes. On one port day we ordered lunch and were told it would be delivered in 30-35 minutes; in fact, it arrived just 8 minutes later (the server said it was a quiet day in the kitchen).

Presentation

Food was brought on a plastic tray and could be eaten at the desk, on the coffee table at the sofa, or on a small table on the balcony. The presentation was simple but appealing, though there was no salt/pepper on the side.

A note on our trays asked us to call room service for collection of our dishes. We did following our lunch but the tray sat outside in the hallway for several hours.

Food

We ordered the fruit, coffee and juice for breakfast. The coffee was hot (in contrast to what we found with the self-serve stations) and the juice cold. The fruit bowl was comprised of sliced melon, apple, pineapple and kiwi.

For lunch we ordered a chicken and guacamole fajita, which arrived hot. The tasty fajita mixture included onions and bell pepper and was folded into a flower tortilla. Small ramikins of salsa (mild) and creamy guacamole were on the side; there was no “crisp lettuce” (as stated on the menu), but the dish didn’t really need it. This wasn’t a full-blown lunch, more like a good-sized snack. The chocolate cake for dessert was a rolled affair—more frosting than cake.

Drinks

Beer, soda and bottled water packages could be ordered individually, or in packages (the in-room deal was to buy five and the sixth was free). Beers included Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, Amstel Light, Heineken, Beck’s and Corona. Soft drinks included Coke products, Sprite, ginger ale and orange soda. Evian water was available in 16-ounce bottles.
