Sarah shares her experience on her first Disney cruise aboard the Disney Wish and compares it to her many experiences sailing Holland America Line (HAL). Sarah enjoyed her time on the Disney Wish, and says she'd sail Disney Cruise Line (DCL) again, but also highlights a few spots where HAL outperforms DCL.
