Disney Wish Concierge Summary
Concierge is not cheap
Often it is double what a veranda stateroom would cost but for the base concierge room
Therefore, want to maximize your time in the lounge and pool deck
Concierge is one of those things that I would want to do when I want that extra luxury and don’t necessarily care as much about the ports or the rest of the ship
If you are a DCL first timer maybe do not do concierge because there is so much offered on the DCL ship that you will have a hard time maximizing both. If the sailing is a longer sailing, then concierge would be perfect.
Embarkation
Port gate opens at 10:30 am
Once in drop your bags off and park
For a 3-day sailing you pay for 4 days of parking
Security line opens at 11 am to get into the port
After they check you in you will get a gold sticker which gets you into the port concierge lounge area (of note not all ports have this area)
It has a cooler with drinks (water, Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke)
While in there the concierge team will come in and talk about the lunch and lounge hours during the sailing
When in concierge your boarding group is number 1 therefore you can board any time once the ship opens between 11 and 11:30 am
Once on the ship it will be a little quieter since not many guests on yet, but the Grand Hall/Atrium might not have all the staff clapping as you enter because of how early it is
Lunch is in 1923 which included specialty beverages (Bloody Mary, Mimosa)
Rooms ready by 12:30 pm and if need just lift the blue barricades and head to your room
Debarkation
Might be one of the best perks
Head to the lounge between 7 and 8 am
Lounge will serve continental breakfast (muffins, croissants, fruits, yogurts)
Once done head to the elevators deck 12
Grab a concierge staff member who will use a secret card to tap the elevator that will then read PRIORITY and it will take you straight to deck 3 to get off the ship
That is correct no stopping on other floors
Once on deck 3 a concierge staff will walk you to a concierge debarkation line
It will be a shorter line
Rooms
Rooms are typically larger and have special touches
Wish has Family Oceanview Concierge Staterooms that face out the front of the ship with a window from the floor to the ceiling
