Located on top-deck, the slide has a transparent, acrylic tube propelling riders (on rafts) up and down 4 decks of the ship. At one point, the slide swings out 13 ft off the ship's side, 150 ft above sea level. The main swimming pool areas on all Disney boats are geared toward families. There is a pool for kids (with 200-ft Mickey waterslide) and small sprinkler tub for toddlers. Adult-only pools are also fleetwide feature, though on the larger ships they encompass several decks. A "voyage charter" is when the vessel (and its crew) are hired for a specific voyage (departure date and custom itinerary).

September 2024 Disney Cruises

In February and March, the Disney Magic is “going down the bayou” for the first time during a debut season in New Orleans. Departing from the heart of The Big Easy, along the mighty Mississippi River, the four-, five- and six-night sailings will call on the tropical destinations of Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Below you will find a breakout by ship, but this is a work in progress. I will be updating the website throughout the day as I load the sailings and upload the new itinerary maps.

The charterer (Disney) pays the shipowner (AmaWaterways) on a lump-sum basis (single payment) while the shipowner is responsible for paying port taxes, fuel costs and crew costs. The cruise charter specifies a laytime (period) for loading and unloading the Disney-provided (exclusive) passengers. On the March 9th/2018-released exterior rendering was shown Disney's traditional black-white-red hull color scheme. Balcony cabins are located midship, which provides larger accommodations for passengers.

These lines can get long, so I recommend riding first thing when you board if the port is warm enough. All of Disney Cruise Line's ships have some kind of waterslide on board. You can work off some of those treats and drinks at the onboard fitness center on each ship. These bars are a lot of fun and are not to be missed if you like live music or a nice drink at the end of the day.

Disney Dream commences in early 2024 with sailings to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean. All sailings from Florida include a stop at Castaway Cay, a private island oasis reserved exclusively for DCL guests. Located in the Bahamas' turquoise waters, Castaway Cay offers the ultimate escape for everyone, with relaxation, adventure, and quality time with the whole family. Today, Disney Cruise Line released Early 2023 itineraries with some familiar options as well as some itinerary gaps. A variety of enchanting itineraries will set sail coast-to-coast from U.S. home ports including Miami and Port Canaveral, Florida; New Orleans; Galveston, Texas; and San Diego.

You should put the tags on your luggage before heading out on the day of your cruise. Of course, if you aren’t sailing out of Port Canaveral, there are no Disney Cruise Line buses available. When you can check in depends on your Castaway Club membership status (how many Disney Cruise Line sailings you’ve been on). Repositioning is when a cruise starts in one port and finishes in another.

Disney Vacation Club Cruises

While Disney may be a household name, Disney Cruise Line is actually a small line. It currently sails just five ships, compared to 27 at its family-friendly competitor Royal Caribbean. Also read our breakdown of Disney Cruise Line ships, full guide to Castaway Cay, and guide to Disney Cruise Line rotational dining and restaurants. The sail-away time, i.e. when the boat actually sets off, is usually between 4 and 5 p.m. Barring emergencies, this is the time the ship will actually leave, and if you aren’t on board, it will leave without you.

It is a supervised program for kids aged 3-7 yo (split into age groups 3-4 and 5-7). "Oceaneer Lab" (for kids split into age groups 8-9 and 10-12) offers hands-on science experiments, ship-wide scavenger hunts, themed deck parties (with Disney costumes provided), high-tech interactive programs. Children ages can compete in marine biology game show and send to friends digital postcards.

For any cruises listed, Cruise Critic does not guarantee any specific rates or prices. Starting in mid-February, the ship goes on a series of one-way cruises that take it to Honolulu, Hawaii, followed by Vancouver, Canada, and finally to San Diego, California. The San Juan Caribbean cruises run through mid-May, when the ship relocates for an extended assignment to Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale), Florida. The Caribbean cruises continue from Galveston through mid-April, when the ship relocates to San Juan, Puerto Rico. In February, it briefly relocates to New Orleans, Louisiana for a month of Caribbean cruises out of that port before returning to Galveston in March. The Disney Dream cruise ship spends the first half of 2024 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, continuing the string of Caribbean Cruises it had begun offering from there in November 2023.

Voyages aboard Disney Wish combine numerous Disney firsts and enchanting entertainment, bringing to life Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars stories. Due to the COVID pandemic, DCL-Disney suspended its entire fleet's passenger shipping operations (all 4 liners) by canceling all voyages with pre-scheduled departures in the period March 14, 2020, through June 30, 2021. Since November 2019, on all Disney ships provide to their crew complimentary texting (sending and receiving unlimited text messages) on devices with iOS and Android operating systems. Most Disney cabins have bath-and-a-half - the second bathroom has a sink, toilet, vanity, the full bathroom has a sink, tub/shower, and toilet.

All "Adventures by Disney" cruises are English-speaking and served by professional tour guides. Currently, on Eleuthera island is located the Carnival Corporation-owned (via ist subsidiary Princess Cruises) private island resort Princess Cays. Each boat features a Walt Disney Theater (resembling Broadway house) and Buena Vista Cinema (for Disney movies). Studio Sea (TV sound stage and forum for G-rated live shows) is available on Magic and Wonder.

Disney Wonder's Alaskan program is based on roundtrips from Vancouver BC Canada, and scheduled for May through September. Passengers can marvel at Alaska's stunning natural beauty and explore destinations such as Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. From late July to September, Disney Fantasy is homeported in the UK (Southampton England) visiting popular destinations in Spain, Norway, and the British Isles. Both voyages are 7-day-long, roundtrips from Amsterdam and feature visits to windmills, famous museums, canal cruising, and beer and food tastings (chocolate, cheese, waffles). Construction will start after the Environmental Impact Assessment and Management Plan are reviewed and Gov approved. On Fantasy and Dream teen are in 2 age groups - 11 to 13 (at "Edge") and 14 to 17 (at "Vibe", with an outdoor sundeck with hot tubs).
