Disney Cruise Line
The Disney Cruise Line brings the best of every part of vacationing (new sights and adventures, amazing food and entertainment, access to shopping, opportunity to relax and recharge) to its passengers. Docked in Port Canaveral, Florida, the ship is easily accessed by all airline carriers (many direct). Even if you're not a huge fan of Mickey Mouse and his friends, your vacation on the Disney Cruise Line will be an experience tailored to your every interest.
Off-Ship, In Port, Out of this World
Leave it to Disney to provide its passengers an opportunity to enjoy exciting adventures in new lands. Port excursions are popular with most passengers, and the Disney Cruise Line offers a wide range to suit all tastes. Shopping, sightseeing, and adventure trips are all amongst the choices. Those interested in climbing will enjoy the Climber's Rush and Aquaventure in the port of Nassau. In Cozumel, try the Adventure Park Zip Line and Snorkel Combo. When sailing into Grand Cayman, there's opportunity to try the Ay Ay Eco Hike. Divers are included too, with a Cane Bay Two Tank Wall Dive in St. Croix.
Adventure on Board
On days when the ship is sailing to its next port, Disney keeps up the magic and excitement of the cruise by offering endless possibilities to enjoy. Swimmers will love the choice of three heated pools (including separate ones for just adults and just children). The spa provides opportunities for adults to massage weary bones from long in-port hiking. Also, even though the ship may be in the middle of the ocean, it doesn't prevent marathoners and speed-walkers from enjoying their daily exercise- a walking trail exists on one of the top levels of the ship, marked off by mile. A state-of-the-art fitness center also includes all popular gym machinery and offers various classes to passengers.
The Finest Dining
Anyone who has been on a cruise or known a cruiser knows that the food on a cruise is bar to none. Aside from the endless buffets (refreshed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner), the cruise line provides free 24-hour room service, two nightly seatings of gourmet multi-course meals, a separate "fine dining" restaurant for adults, and changing nightly entertainment such as a midnight chocolate buffet and chef's ice carving display. For the health-conscious, all this food may seem overwhelming. Each location offers healthier options marked on their menus and the cruise line personnel can assist you in your choices.
Excellent Entertainment
After a day of hiking or swimming, when the ship has sailed and the dinner is over, for many cruisers, the night is just beginning. Burn off dessert in one of the many discos on board or take in a Broadway-caliber show. Test your luck in the ship's casino or browse the onboard gift shops. Take an evening stroll on the highest deck and lay down in in a lounge chair to peer up at the stars, feeling the ship rock you into peace.
