Disney offers a distinctive cruise experience, starting with
the elegant design of its ships, which are modeled after the luxurious ocean
liners of the past. As you might expect,
the onboard experience is perfect for families; the main pools, entertainment
venues and restaurants are meant for multi-generational groups to enjoy
together. The Dream and Fantasy introduced an incredible new
water feature: the Aqua Duck, cruising’s first onboard watercoasters. You need
to be at least 42 inches tall to ride – if you’re not, you can still splash and
play with the rest of the family in the Fantasy’s
AquaLab, an area full of pop jets, geysers and bubblers.
Amid the family fun, each Disney ship also provides opportunities
for family members from different generations to pursue their own activities.
Disney’s children’s program is terrific, beginning with nurseries that care for
the smallest family members (infants through age three). Kids age three to
seven can join the Oceaneer’s Club for lots of supervised fun and visits from
favorite Disney characters. Kids age eight through 12 are invited to join the
Oceaneer Lab for high-tech interactive programs, science experiments and
treasure hunts.
On the Magic and Wonder, teens age 13 to 17 can hang out
in a private club filled with cushy couches and chairs, the latest video games,
music listening stations and board games. The Dream and the Fantasy
take the teen club concept a step further, giving those age 14 to 17 a
dedicated area that includes outdoor space with hot tubs.
Disney’s ships also feature special places just for adults,
which is why you’ll find a sprinkling of couples without children on board. All
four ships have adults-only pools, restaurants and nightclubs. The spa is also
off-limits to the younger set.
