Kids Club Areas
Disney has such fun and age appropriate things to do in each of their Kids Club Areas, that it’s unlikely your kids will want to leave.
The Oceaneer Club for kids ages 3-12. The fun and interactive areas for these kiddos is sure to keep them enjoying ever minute they are hanging out in the club.
With play areas, story telling, crafts and interactive activities kids in this age range will be talking about their time in the Oceaneer Club for a long time to come.
They may even have special guests stop by for a visit.
Edge
If your preteen is a little too cool for the Oceaneer Club, then Edge will be the spot for them.
For ages 11-14, this space gives preteens their own special hang out spot.
With high tech entertainment devices and daily counselor guided activities, your preteen is sure to love this cool hang out.
Vibe
Just for teens ages 14-17, this teens exclusive space will give them their own space to chill out, listen to music, play games and hang out with others their age.
All of these great spaces are included in the price of your Disney Cruise.
It’s a Small World Nursery
Do you have a little one, ages 6 months to 3 years, traveling with you?
Don’t worry their is a space for them to have fun and allow you a little grownup time.
It’s a Small World Nursery is where little ones can be looked after and entertained by Disney Counselors.
Reservations must be made in advance (with a possibility of day of reservations) and there is a fee per child per timeslot.
Adult Only Spaces
Disney Cruise Line has plenty for Adults Only.
Pools and Quiet Areas
Each Disney Cruise Line ship has fantastic Adult Only pool areas and quiet areas.
Relax and grab some sunrays in one of the pools or whirlpool spas.
On the Disney Dream, adults can relax at Quiet Cove Pool. In this multi-level pool with varying depths, adults can fully immerse themselves in a tranquil environment to soak up the sun, bask in warm tropical breezes or enjoy a beverage at the poolside bar. (Matt Stroshane, photographer)
Or relax in a deck chair to catch up on the reading you never get to do at home.
Senses Spa and Salons
Want to add some pampering and indulgent to your cruise?
Schedule a massage services or one of a list of spa treatments available.
Or maybe you want to get one of the Spa’s Rainforest Passes for the length of your cruise (sometimes available for certain one day lengths) so you can enjoy all the Rainforest Room has to offer.
Nightclubs and Lounges
On each of the Disney Cruise Line ships there are multiple nightclubs and lounges.
All with different themes, décor and activities.
The lounges do have times that those under 18 can come in explore, have a drink or a snack.
Adult Only Dining
Some of the lounges do have food items (not included in the price of your cruise package) but each ship has at least one adult only dining location.
Each Disney Cruise Ship has a Palo Restaurant.
On the Magic, Wonder, Dream and Fantasy it is Italian cuisine.
Palo is a Steakhouse onboard the Wish.
Onboard the 3 larger ships there is a second Adults Only Restaurant.
For the Wish it is Enchante.
On the Dream and the Fantasy it is Remy.
Amazing Dining Options
Onboard each Disney Cruise ship there are 3 main dining rooms.
For Disney Cruises these are your restaurants for what Disney calls “rotational dining”.
Rotational Dining
Rotational Dining means that you will be assigned to each of the 3 restaurants each night of your cruise.
If your cruise is longer than 3 nights you will just restart your rotation.
Not only do you and your party rotate through the dining restaurants each night but so does your wait staff.
The great things about this is that your wait staff gets to know you and your party’s likes and dislikes.
On my most recent cruise, the second night of dinner our waitress had the same soft drink I had the night before delivered right after we sat down before we had ordered anything.
All of these restaurants are included in the cost of your cruise (specialty drinks are not included).
Other Onboard Food Options
Want to grab food more on the go or looking for something more laid back on your cruise?
Also included in the price of your package are quick service dining options.
Each ship has multiple quick service options and a buffet that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
All included in your cruise package.
Each ship also has unlimited soft serve ice cream. That’s a reason to book a Disney Cruise by itself.
