Is a Disney Cruise just for kids?
Though you might hear “Disney” and assume it’s all children’s film characters and magic, there’s something for everyone aboard their series of ships. The themes are certainly more family-oriented, but there’s also plenty of entertainment that adults are sure to find entertaining. Aboard the ship, you can find a wide range of restaurants certain to satisfy all palates, high-end spas and salons to turn your brain off for a bit of self-care and state-of-the-art gyms and fitness centers for those looking to stay active. “We enjoy lounging at the pool, doing trivia, and indulging in the excellent cuisine on the ship,” said one adult sailor recounting her experience aboard Disney Cruise Line ships on Reddit. “My wife and I cruise without the kids often and it’s great, there is plenty to do,” shared another cruiser.
