Disney Cruise Line's

On-Board Activities

 
Only a Disney Cruise Line(r) vacation gives you so many ways to play together, and separately. With practically an entire deck devoted to kids, there's non-stop fun each day from 9 a.m. to midnight for five distinct age groups. Kids ages 3 to 7 make magic at Disney's Oceaneers Club. Kids 8 to 12 explore the universe at Disney's Oceaneers Lab. Teens enjoy their own private hangout at a New York-style coffeehouse called Common Grounds. And with your kids practically begging to join their new friends each day, you might be tempted to engage in a little fun of your own, from relaxing in an adult-only pool area, to daily activities like wine-tasting or cooking demonstrations.

Adult Activities
As much as we love kids, there's a place in our hearts (and on our ships) reserved exclusively for adults. Sink into the silence of a sun-dappled beach or curl up in a lounge chair on the pool deck. Reserve a table for two at Palo. Work out in a gym where even the view will take your breath away. After all, it's your vacation. Don't forget to play.

Daytime Activities
You haven't lived till you've experienced an open-air massage on Castaway Cay. And you don't need an excuse to indulge yourself with the latest spa treatments at the Vista Spa & Salon. Just be sure to make time to attend a wine-tasting. The Merlot goes extremely well with the sunset.

Nighttime Activities
Pinch yourself. It's every great night spot you've ever visited, all on one street. A guaranteed good-time dueling piano bar. A Top 40 dance floor that rocks non-stop. A quiet lounge where a gentle piano melody sets the mood for romance. The night is young.

Top it all off with a stop at the Internet Cafe, a cozy corner to kick back and surf the web. It's the recipe for a perfect evening at the Promenade Lounge, located just off the aft elevator lobby.

Studio Sea
A nightclub for families? That's the idea behind Studio Sea. Test your Disney IQ in a hilarious game show called Mickey Mania. Grab the mike on Karaoke Night. Head for the dance floor and strut your stuff. There's something different happening every night of the week. So grab the kids and set sail for full-out fun!

Beat Street
Spend a night on the town and take the elevator home. Start your evening with your favorite cocktail and a workout on the dance floor to the Top 40 sounds of the hottest club music. Just down the street there's a comedy club where dueling pianos make madcap musical mischief. Wrap it all up with a nightcap in a cozy little lounge next door. It's exclusively for adults.
