Cruising with the Mouse - Disney Cruise Line

Christopher Blydenburgh
Everything touched by the Disney team becomes magic in some way and so are their cruises. A group of designers that design ships, cruise experts and also some Disney creators were hired by Michael Eisner to make cruise ships to satisfy children as well as grown up people. That group created two ships that became almost identical. The names of the ships are Disney Wonder and Disney Magic.

There are a lot of Disney impression on both ships. The funnels both contains the mouse silhouette that is known worldwide and that silhouette appears on many places onboard on the ships as well. There are more Disney characters to be found on the ship exteriors. In the front of Disney Magic you'll find a statue of Goofy that is fifteen foot tall. On the other ship, Disney Wonder you will find Donald Duck at the front. Inside the ships there are art with Disney motives on the walls and some of the crew members are dressing out like Disney characters. You will experience as many Disney events that you could ever dream of.

When booking a tour on the Disney Cruise Line you can choose between going for three days, four days, one week or ten days. The ship cruises from Disney's Port Canaveral located close to Orlando and they are heading to some wonderful places in the Caribbean, for example Nassau, Cozumel, Antigua, Grand Cayman Islands, St Thomas, St Lucia and Key West. One of the cruising days are spent on a private island named Castaway Cay. That tropical paradise is developed by the Disney company to give the passengers on the Disney cruises a memorable experience.

If you would like to have two great experiences at the same time you can live at Disney World for a couple of days in addition to your cruise. You will only have to do one check in and the key card will work in the Disney World hotel as well as on the ship. You will also be transported from Disney World to the ship or vice versa without paying any extra.

Disney Cruise Line's target group is of course families with children and the cruises offers lots of amenities for kids of all ages. A very big part of the ship is made for the kids, actually over 15 000 square feet. There are places special for the teenagers on the cruises as well, where they can play games, watch a movie or listen to music. For teens interested in sports there are many choices as well.

Onboard the Disney cruises you will find theatres as well as nightclubs. There's no casino onboard though but you will surely be entertained anyway. The theatre will provide you with shows with Disney themes and the shows are suitable for the entire family.

There's a special way of having dinner on the Disney cruises. You will eat in different restaurants every day in a period of three days which will give you the chance to make several wonderful dinner experiences during the trip. There are two possibilities to have dinner every night, 6:30 and 8:30 pm. If you would like to have dinner in a calm and quiet place you can pay $10 extra and get to eat in a special restaurant for adult only.

If you're a fan of Disney or if any family member are, you will get memories for a lifetime by going on a Disney cruise.
