Why a Disney Cruise?


(TTBS) Even though I am a travel agent specializing in Disney vacations, I still get asked why we chose to vacation on the Disney Mediterranean cruise. Isn't the answer, "Well, duh!" But seriously, I love my job and someones gotta do the research, right? It's tough,I know, but I'm willing to take on the challenge.


So since I get asked this question, I thought I would come up with my 10
Ten Reasons to go on a Disney Cruise....much like David Letterman, I
will start from number ten and work my way to number one:

#10: Room Service, Buffets, More Food all included:Now the room service, buffets and more food are included in other
cruise lines, this is true, but can you get Mickey ice cream on board
other cruise lines, I think not!

#9: Free Soft Drinks:Yes, on a Disney Cruise , you even get free sodas. This is a rarity, as
on other cruise lines, you have to pay for soft drinks.

#8: Characters Galore:What better way to meet and greet Mickey and the gang than on a Disney
Cruise. Ok, I'm in my 40's and I fess up that I still love getting my
picture taken with a character or two.

#7: Ports of Call: On the Mediterranean Cruise, we will be calling on amazing locations, like Rome, Tunisia, Nice/Monaco and Florence!

#6: Entertainment:Nightly, Disney offers amazing entertainment acts. Whether it be a
Broadway style show with Disney characters or a comedian, the
entertainment is top-notch.

#5: Adult Only/ Children Only Areas:Disney Cruise boasts great adults only area on their ships. There is
nightly entertainment just for adults, an adult only pool, spa and my
favorite... an adult only restaurant called Palo's. Childrens Areas
too: Who knows how to entertain children better than Disney? They offer
great childcare facilities and programs plus special areas for
pre-teens and teens.

#4: Rotational Dining:Disney offers 3 main sit-down restaurants for dinner which you will get
the opportunity to visit each one on a rotational basis. The great
thing about not eating at the same restaurant each night is the variety
of food and decor. The other amazing part about the rotational dining is
that you will have the same waitstaff rotate with you so you can build a
relationship with your servers and they get to know your likes and
dislikes.

#3: Family Activities:When I think of vacation with my family, I think of all those
opportunities I have to build better relationships with my children and
to bond in a fun atmosphere! Whether it's playing a trivia game, family
bingo or simply watching a movie together, Disney offers all of this and
more! (yes, there is a movie theater onboard and they are showing the
new Alice in Wonderland for our cruise, which I haven't seen yet! plus
other movies too!)

#2: BYOB:Disney actually allows their guests to bring beer and wine onboard with
them. No need to sneak in beer or wine (or even hard liquor), just
carry it onboard with you! I'm really not a big drinker but I like that
Disney caters to their clients and they know what their guests want and
they deliver! If you do plan to partake of a bottle of wine that you
brought onboard with you in one of the restaurants, Disney will charge
you a corking fee for this, but other than that, there is no charge and
you are welcome to come aboard with your beverage of choice. I usually
bring on bottled water too.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....

And my #1 reason to go on a Disney Cruise:

No Gambling and No Smoking:I've been on other cruise lines and there is a huge appeal for gambling
on the ship but it's just not my thing. And nothing against smokers,
but I prefer to walk throughout the ship and not worry about the smoke.
Now, on a Disney Cruise you can smoke on your balconies so it's not all
together banned so don't let that stop you if you are thinking about a
Disney Cruise for your next vacation.
