Dreaming
of a Disney Cruise!
It
is a sunny 33ºF here in never cold Sunny So. California and I’m dreaming of
being on a Disney Cruise ship out in the Caribbean!
So
what would I be doing on a Disney Cruise at 7:30 am? I’d most likely be waking
up after getting to bed late! I’d be looking out my porthole at the sun and sea
and thinking about getting ready to go find some breakfast. Question? Hit the
gym before breakfast or . . . not at all?
Breakfast!
Where do you eat breakfast on a Disney Cruise? Room service sounds nice! Put
out our order the evening before and they bring your meal straight to your room
in the morning! You could head to the Buffet at the back of the ship to eat. It
is also a great place to get lunch. The evening main dining rooms are turned in
to either buffet or table service breakfast dining. Your daily Navigator (daily
paper with news and event schedule) for times these locations are open. You
could also go to the coffee shop for coffee and a breakfast sweet.
After
breakfast what to do? If the kids are along (did one cruise with our daughter
and one without) figure out what they are doing. Is there a special event in
the Youth Club for them that they want to attend? Maybe you just want to spend
some family time playing games, swimming, joining the fun at a family themed
event at one of the lounges or challenging each other to a game of hoops, ping
pong or even a video game.
If
the kids are at the Youth Club or did not join you try out the Quiet Cove adult
only pool. Look at the Navigator at see what Disney lectures, cooking demo,
ship board tours/events or if you are in port, get off the ship and check the
local area. Sign up for port adventures BEFORE you board or they may all be
booked.
Lunch
is an interesting thing on a Disney Cruise. You can eat at one of the many
quick service locations around the pools, order room service or eat at the buffet
for no extra charge or you can eat at one of the many lounges for an extra
charge. You can also have brunch or high tea at Palo.
Evening
is always fun on a Disney ship! There is diner in the main restaurants. Each main
dining room has a ‘show’ at once each cruise! In my opinion these are NOT to be
missed!
Depending
on your seating time for diner you will see a show or movie either before or
after your meal. One night during every cruise there is no show in the
theaters. Instead of a ‘show’ there is a party on deck! The pirates take over
the ship! There is a Pirates IN the Caribbean Deck Party! The Pirate Party ends
in fireworks!
Even
after the shows end the evening does not have to end! There is still a little
time for the entire family to enjoy family time in the lounges with shows and
music geared for the entire family.
The
kids can go back into the Youth Club or maybe for the older kids to sleep in
the cabin. For your older children you are no further away than a phone call.
You can take your Wave Phone with you and they can call you if they need you. With
the children taken care of you can return to the lounges. After 9pm they are
all adult only with music, dancing and shows! You could also head to the Quiet
Cove Pool for a swim and/or soak in the Hot Tubs.
As
you can see there is PLENDY to do on a Disney Cruise from sun up to sun down!!
