The Disney cruise line is in a class of its own. It obviously appeals to the masses just as all the Disney brand does. They are more expensive than Carnival, Norwegian and Royal. One of the reason that Disney is in a class of their own is because they only have four ships. The Wonder, The Fantasy, The Magic and The Dream. They do have two more ordered for 2021 and 2022. This has lead to rumours that they will expand to Asia, where as others are hoping to see a permanent return to the West Coast and not just a handful of sailings a year.
Having only four ships, Disney cruises tend to be at capacity and never have sales. They do occasionally offer 25% discounts to Canadian residents which helps with the exchange. Other cruise lines frequently have sales, reduced deposits and extra perks as they have more ships and bed to fill.
Currently Disney will be cruising the following for 2018 and 2019 Alaska, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canadian Cruises, Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, Pacific Coast, Panama Canal and Transatlantic Cruises. They also have their own private Island Castaway Cay. They also offer the following themed cruises Marvel Days at Seas, Star War Days at Seas, Halloween at High Seas and Merry Christmas.
Disney has also been initiative with their Inside cabins. They have what they call Magic Portholes. These portholes give you views of the ocean without being the real thing. They also offer Ocean view, Verrandah's with and without concierges
Disney has been offering Broadway style musicals for a long time and many cruises lines have also jumped on that band wagon. They even screen their own movies as well. All of their cruises not themed feature a Pirate night where everyone has the opportunity to dress as Pirates and party the night away. In Alaska the party is Frozen themed. They have fireworks and deck parties which means fun for everyone.
They have 3 main dinning rooms with a rotating schedule as they do still have two sittings for dinner they are not as flexible as some of the other lines are. Your table will rotate together with your server if you are sitting with other people. You can also enjoy the buffets, pool side snacks room service and all you can eat ice cream. They do have 2 specialty restaurants that you can reserve and cost extra on all ships.
So I am sure some of you adults are sitting there thinking I love Disney yes I know you are out there but do I want to sail on a ship geared towards children. Interestingly enough there are many adults that sail Disney without children. They do have an adults only pool area and of course in the evenings they do have bars and entertainment geared towards you. Disney includes water, soda, coffee and tea for everyone. They do have drinks packages that range from $40 to $60 USD per day per person.
As you can imagine there youth clubs are quite entertaining and it is told that it is often hard to tear/drag your children away. They are broken down into age categories and each group is appropriately geared with the children in mind and have lots of ties to Disney characters.
Now what would a Disney cruise be without Disney characters. There are meet and greets. You will always find the Fab Five on the ships. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto. You will also find many other characters some are rotating or occasional. You can find a list for your sailing and you will find old and new characters alike. Jack Sparrow can often be found at Castaway Cay. Of course Disney has photo packages as do all the cruise lines. I strongly suggest pre purchasing a package before you board as it is often less expensive that way and you know once you see the pictures you are going to want to buy them. They have a picture room where you can go and see all the pictures that have been taken of you each day whether it is with the characters, while you are dining etc photographers are around.
I priced out a Vacation on the Disney Fantasy Western Caribbean Sailing March 16th with a deluxe Ocean View Stateroom with Verandah for a family of four 2 Adults and 2 children 8 and 11. Price would be $8383.44 USD
