Best Cruise Line for Families

September 18, 2023 by Hope Brooks

Why is Disney Cruise Line the best for families?

This question gets asked a lot by people especially when it comes to families wanting to take a cruise.

So why is Disney the best cruise line for families? Well here is my top five reasons why they are the best for families even thought there is way more reasons than five.

Reason #1 Food

DCL Restaurant Animators Pallet makes the best cruise for families

The first and most important reason is food. When you go on vacation the first thing you want is food and lots of options especially with kids. If you have a picky eater, someone on a special diet, someone with food allergies, or someone that is always hungry DCL has you covered. DCL has created menus that will accommodate everyones needs and palates. There is food within a walking distance of the pool, along with 24 hour soft drink station, and the best ever ice cream . Make sure to come hungry because you will not want to miss the pizza, burgers, salads, Mickey waffles, ice cream, lobster, steak and so much more. The dining experience is like no other cruise line. You will rotate to different dining places along your voyage and experience different cuisines. But if you are like me and favor something just ask your waiting staff they will be more than gracious to accommodate your needs. There is also adult only dining during brunch and dinner for an extra charge. This is a great time for an adult only moment while the kids play in the kids club.

Reason #2 Service

Second is the amazing service and staff that’s aboard Disney Cruise Line. They go above and beyond for their guests. If you need help finding something, need assistance in your room, or need an extra hand they will be right there. During dinner they will help cut your food and kids food so you can relax, recommend places to go and see during your port of calls, make those cute towel animals , clean your stateroom, clean the halls, paint the walls and areas that need to be touched up, hand you a cleaning towel before entering the eating areas, and greet you every time they see you. You will get close to your waiting staff and hospitality crew by the end of your trip. They will feel like family and you will want to come back just to see them.

Reason #3 Entertainment

DCL theaters

Third is the amazing Broadway Shows. These are the great shows you have come to love at the Disney Parks, but on the sea. There is Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, and a brand new Moana show coming to the Disney Treasure and much more to enjoy. The shows will make you have all the different feelings that you have come to love with a Disney production. Disney also creates magical moments in every performance to make you part of the show. So come join in on the red carpet with the Fab Five, feel the chills of the eerie night with the Beast, and have surprises around the corner. Disney also runs top of the line movies and new release while at sea, so don’t miss these great releases without stepping in your local theater or paying extra.

Reason #4 Character Experiences

Fourth would be the amazing character experiences that you will encounter while on board. Characters will pop up from around the corner sometimes and grab your little ones by the hand and say come follow me. Cinderella might sit down with you and take a picture while she is on her way back to her castle, Peter Pan might make you part of his lost boys for the day, or Rapunzel might show you pictures of Pascal in the gallery. Characters will amaze you and your children with how they love to interact and be asked all those questions you are dying to ask. On your navigator app you can see when your favorite ones are going to come out and where so you don’t miss the opportunity to get a special picture or autograph. These special moments will last a life time.

Reason #5 Children’s Activities

And last but certainly not least is the Kids Club. This is where your kids will want to stay and hang with other kids their age for the whole trip, believe me. If you are like me, you will have to schedule times that they can go during activities they like so you can spend time with them during your vacation. There is games, video games, crafts, characters that pop in, and so much more. This place is endless fun and the cast members make this a very safe and enjoyable place for kids 3- 12. There is also tween and teen clubs for those ages to enjoy. Your kids will not stop talking about all the fun they had while in the kids club and will want to go back on another cruise just to do activities again or the ones they missed. If you have a Marvel fan, Star Wars fan, Toy Story fan, or Tinker Bell fan this is the place for them. There is different themed rooms with different activities for them to enjoy. There is something to do for all ages and they will never get bored.

Best Cruise Line for Families

Disney Cruise Line is the most amazing and best cruise line for families hands down. They go above and beyond to entertain and keep families safe and having a blast on their vacation. Disney will soon have 6 ships sailing around the world next year. They are also adding a second private island called, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. There is something for everyone and you can make your trip a few days to over a week depending on where you want to go and see. DCL has cruises for special events like Star Wars at Sea, Marvel at Sea, Pixar Day at Sea, Halloween, and Christmas that give different adventures to ones wanting a little something else during their voyage.
