Activities
Disney Cruise Line has a wide range of activities for guests of all ages. Some activities are included with your cruise fare, while others require an additional fee.
The Personal Navigator lists all of the onboard activities scheduled each day, most of which are free. It can be downloaded to your phone from the Navigator app or picked up at Guest Services.
Kids can meet their favorite characters, try out new character-themed activities and enjoy themed deck parties. There’s also Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, where little ones can get a Rey makeover and choose from four Star Wars-themed T-shirts.
Teens will love Edge and Vibe teen clubs, where they can hang out, watch TV and play video games with other cruisers of their age. These clubs are located throughout the ship and chaperoned by cool counselors.
Dining
Disney Cruise Line is famous for its imaginative restaurants that are accompanied by a dedicated service team. Each night you’ll “rotate” to one of three restaurants – Animator’s Palate, Royal Palace, or Enchanted Garden – and enjoy a unique dinner experience each time.
This rotational dining is a great way to make sure you have a chance to experience all of the amazing Main Dining experiences that Disney Cruise Line has to offer. Be drawn into a state-of-the-art dinner show at Animator’s Palate, savor a classic Disney fairytale feast at Royal Palace, and experience an arboretum of appetizing delights in a serene conservatory setting at Enchanted Garden.
There are also two high-end, adults-only dining experiences on board the Dream: Remy and Palo. The restaurants require a dress code (no tank tops or swimwear) and reservations are required in advance.
