Any vacation with Disney promises family friendly fun, spectacle and luxury. You can expect these same standards from your Disney cruise. Disney cruise ships have rooms to accommodate families of any size and budget. You will find rooms that are larger than other cruise lines to accommodate your whole family. But just because you travel with your family, that doesn’t mean that you must spend every waking moment in a cartoon. Each Disney cruise ship has entertainment and activities for each age group as well as those designed for the whole family. This diversity of options in addition to the traditional Disney touches ensures that your Disney cruise vacation will be the time of your life.
Before you book your Disney cruise vacation, take a moment to consider the accommodations you will need. There are approximately twelve categories that differentiate the rooms and suites available. Think about what kind of view you’d like, whether you’d like a balcony, and how many people you need to fit in each room. Just remember that each room must have at least one adult.
If you are traveling with friends or family, you can link your reservations if you make them at the same time. If you need to make them separately, you will need to speak to a Disney representative. It pays to make your reservation as soon as possible, as the Category 1 and 2 suites tend to sell out quickly.
Once you walk onto a Disney cruise, your vacation has just begun! No matter the duration of your trip you will see that there are a whole host of events and activities from which to choose. Children from ages 4-13 will love the activities that have been prepared for them and are hosted by professional counselors while adults can partake in those activities specially designed for them. When you take your child to any one of the activity areas, you are provided with a beeper so that you are always in the loop. Your teenagers will be excited to see the areas specially designed for them as well.
After you’ve dropped off the kids, you can explore all of the adult oriented events such as the spa, shopping or adults-only pools. You will find plenty of activities designed for the entire family also. You can organize your days with the help of a Daily Navigator who will inform you of each days schedules and on board events. With a schedule that will let you enjoy Broadway-caliber shoes, the on-board movie theaters, themed deck parties or just lounge in the sun, you’re almost assured to have a good time.
You could spend your whole Disney cruise vacation on ship and have a great time, but you would miss the beautiful ports of call. Whether your cruise takes you through the Caribbean, the Bahamas or the Mexican Riviera you will find plenty of information to help you enjoy the tourist activities at each port. You might even be lucky enough to enjoy one of Disney’s private islands.
There is so much to do on a Disney cruise it is impossible to recount it all here. The accommodations are so spectacular that you can enjoy yourself without even leaving your room. But it would certainly be a mistake to miss the amazing adventures that Disney’s entertainment experts have carefully designed with your family in mind. Of course, the ports of call and Castaway Cay provide additional opportunities for fun. Whether you play together or apart, this is a vacation you will never forget.
