- OVERVIEW
Disney Cruise Line staterooms are among the first in the industry to be tailored especially for families, pioneering innovative comforts and modern features you won't find with any other cruise line. Ranging from cozy private lodgings, to rooms with sweeping views, to grand and richly appointed suites, there's a category to fit your need.
The "Disney difference" can be found in every detail. Most rooms feature:
• Substantially more space than is offered with most other cruise lines
•Ample storage for all the essentials that a typical family carries
•Innovative split baths and separate sinks - a cruise industry first - allowing several people to wash up at the same time
•Superior attention to detail - from vintage decorative touches to the playful "towelgami" you will find waiting for you each night.
And of course, enjoy the unsurpassed personal attention and in-room service from the legendary staff and crew throughout your stay.
Disney Cruise Line, the undisputed leader in children's cruise entertainment, offers dedicated clubs and lounges plus customized interactive programs for kids, tweens and teens ages 3 to 17 years. Disney was the first cruise line to offer almost an entire deck for children's activities and a dedicated space just for teens. Plus, Disney has some of the industry's longest operating hours for children's activities. And while kids enjoy the most extensive youth activity areas at sea, parents can enjoy the ship thanks to an onboard communication service allowing kids to contact their parents anywhere on the ship.
Disney Cruise Line dining is sure to satisfy the appetites of your entire family—thanks to fresh, expertly prepared dishes made available 24 hours a day. Featuring diverse menus inspired by some of the world's most intriguing destinations, and restaurants that are distinctly themed and brimming with charm, it's the finest dining at sea.
Featured dining options include:
•Main Dining - Guests will experience diverse menus, "rotating" through three uniquely-themed, elegant restaurants with the same wait staff to anticipate their needs and personal tastes.
•Adult Exclusive Dining - adults 18 and older can enjoy the magic of a more romantic and elegant dining experience during their vacation.
Other onboard food and beverage options include:
•Casual Dining - convenient casual dining features an enticing spread of freshly prepared, delicious food items for every family member's tastes. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner-including self-service food items and made-to-order delicacies-in an air-conditioned setting or on deck side.
•Quick Service - satisfy those between-meal cravings with a variety of well-balanced and delicious offerings throughout the day, be it morning, noon or night.
•In-Room Dining - order room service 24 hours a day for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
