We all know that taking a cruise vacation can be something that you and the family will remember for a life time, but what about if you have kids. Kids can get restless and they can get bored very easily if they are not entertained, while many cruises offer activities that are specifically for kids, none of them can compare to a Disney Cruise.
Yep, good ol Walt Disney has two cruise ships at the moment in the Disney fleet, and they are both ported at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The names of the Disney cruise ships are the Disney Wonder and the Disney Magic. In 2011 the Disney cruise lines has plans to relocate the Disney Wonder to a port in Los Angeles, which is okay because there are currently two more ships that are going to be added to the Disney cruise lines by the year 2012, and both of those cruise ships will be in Florida also.
The names of these ships will be the Disney Fantasy and the Disney Dream, and they will be able to hold 4,000 passengers and have over 1,200 state rooms, compared the the 800+ that the current Disney cruise ships have. So there is much too offer in the near future, but as of now I will be going over what there is to do on the current cruise ships that are commissioned and running.
Both of the cruise ships are built almost identical, with a few differences in restaurants and stuff. You can expect to see all of your favorite Disney cartoon characters when you are aboard a Disney cruise, and you can expect non-stop entertainment throughout the day and throughout the night. The only thing you will not be able to do that you can do on other cruise lines is gamble. There are no casinos on a Disney cruise as it is a theme for kids and family, not gambling.
You can expect superb food on a Disney cruise, what else would you expect any way though. Some of the restaurants that you can find on the Disney Wonder are as follows; The Palo Restaurant, this is for adults only, and they serve top of the line gourmets from Northern Italy. Animators Palate - You will be able to see colors changing and cartoons on the wall here, they have full menus and kids menus here, the children will love this place. You will also have no problem finding an ice cream station on a Disney cruise, as they have them almost everywhere you go similar to Disney World.
If you are into movies, they have a movie theatre that can hold up to 900 people. There are also several other activities for toddlers, kids, teens and adults such as the Oceaneer clubs for kids that are 3-7 years old and the Teens-Only Getaway. There is also something else that is very special about a Disney Cruise, and that is the private island that they own.
This private island is called Castaway Cay, it is located in the Bahamas and is exclusively for the Disney Cruise Lines only. There is a family beach on the island, as well as the pirate ship that was in the movie Priates Of The Caribbean. Besides looking around the ship and fun in th esun at the beach, you can also enjoy bike riding on the trails they have on the island, snorkling and shopping. So far there has been over 25 million dollars put into the island, and they are still not done with it yet, as only 55 acres are being used out of the 1,000 acres the island has, so you can expect many upgrades to Castaway Cay from Disney Cruise Lines in the future.
