You already know better than to think Disney Cruise Line is just for kids, right? Well, if you weren’t aware, keep reading.
I recently attended the 2018 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration (#DisneySMMC), which included 3-days at the Walt Disney World Resort and a 3-night sail aboard the beautiful Disney Dream. Talk about a magical vacation. While Walt Disney World is truly heaven on earth, a Disney cruise is heaven on the high seas.
It’s obviously jam-packed with fun family activities, but also offers a wide variety of cool things for couples to do too. From catching a movie to arranging a romantic evening on the adult-only deck, the opportunities to reconnect with your significant other abound.
Disney Cruise Line boasts four vessels currently in commission with three more coming in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The current fleet offers five-star adult-only dining, adult-exclusive areas of the ship, chic lounges, state-of-the-art movie theaters, topnotch spas and more!
Since my husband and I live in a different state from our closest relatives, date nights are few and far between. Needless to say, we were pretty excited about spending some quality time alone. Our main priority was seeing the newly-released “Black Panther” movie sans kids. One word: awesome! We also checked out a few of the lounges, nightclubs and relaxed on the deck.
If you’re wondering how parents can squeeze in a date night with kids, don’t worry—Disney has you covered! Disney Cruise Line provides top-of-the-line childcare services for newborns (It’s a Small World Nursery: 6 months to 3 years) and children (Disney’s Oceaneer Club/Disney’s Oceaneer Lab: ages 3 to 12), as well as clubs and safe hangouts for teens that stay open well after 10pm. Rest assured that when your kids aren’t with you, they’re always in good hands. Oh, and trust me—they’re having a blast while they’re away. Our kids never wanted to leave the Oceaneer Club.
While we didn’t get the opportunity to take a whirl in the whirlpool, treat our palates to exquisite cuisines, or receive a relaxing massage, we still managed to experience a lot of what Disney Cruise Line offers for adults and couples.
Below, check out a list of all the wonderful things you and your sweetie can do while cruising on Disney’s Dream:
Eat like royalty: Indulge in fine dining at Palo, a northern Italian-themed restaurant or Remy, a French inspired eatery—two of the the adult-only dining options aboard the ship.
Catch some waves: Relax on the adult-exclusive side of the ship and watch the mesmerizing waves in a serene setting.
Get your feet wet: Grab your bathing suit and watch all of your worries disappear as you take a dip at Quiet Cove Pool.
Listen to live tunes: In the lobby, enjoy smooth sounds from musicians including incredibly talented pianists and violinists.
Pamper yourself: Melt away stress by treating yourself to a massage at Senses Spa & Salon
Schedule some screen time: Catch first-run features and other new movies releases and classic blockbusters in the beautiful Buena Vista Theatre.
Chill out: Grab a soft-serve ice cream cone from the deck (after hours of course) and chill out with your mate.
Pop some bottles: Nothing says “date night” like having a nice drink with your spouse. Set the mood and have a sip at Pink, a posh champagne and wine bar with cushy pink banquettes and a glittering chandelier.
Dance the night away: Put on your dancing shoes and head to one of the nightclubs like The District or Evolution and get lost in the music.
Embrace cabin fever: If you have a verandah and don’t want to venture out, stay put—order room service and lounge in the comfy chairs while listening to the sounds of the ocean with your love.
As you can see, Disney Cruises aren’t just for kids. There are plenty of magical adult activities to make it a dream vacation to remember!
Have you ever gone on a Disney Cruise? If so, what was your favorite adult activity?
I’m so surprise to learn how much the Disney cruise has to offer. What a good idea for families to have a relax vacation with the kids.
