Disney's cruise ship, Disney Dream, is the cruise line's newest ship and most innovative to date. Not only does it boast 14 towering decks and accommodates 4,000 passengers, it even features a cruise-industry first; the AquaDuck, which is the first-ever water coaster at sea.
The family friendly cruise line has taken a great deal of initiatives by creating unique dining experiences, teen-only lounges, a myriad of lounges for adult entertainment and, of course, plenty of opportunity to meet and greet Disney characters, like Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.

Disney's Dream Cruise Line
Disney's cruise ship, Disney Dream, is the cruise line's newest ship and most innovative to date. Here are our top 10 picks of what to check out while aboard The Disney Dream.
Dine at Animator's Palate
This main dining restaurant is any child's dream. Located on Deck 3 of the ship, kids and adults alike are treated to a unique dining experience. While partaking in some tasty culinary creations, animated characters talk to dining patrons through video screens that double as portraits on the dining room wall. Disney Dream also offers a rotational dining program, where cruise-goers have an opportunity to dine at a different restaurant every night of their cruise.
Take a Ride on the AquaDuck
Disney Dream boasts the world's first water coaster at sea. The thrilling ride takes adventurous parties on an exciting 765-foot-long journey up, down and around four decks. It even goes over the side of the ship and through the Forward Funnel. Just don't be caught off guard by the cold splash of water mid-ride!
Catch a Disney Movie
There are certainly advantages to being aboard a Disney Cruise Line over others. One such entertainment option that will please guests is the Buena Vista Theatre. Here, at the large-sized theater, located on Decks 4 and 5, Midship, you can take a break from the sun and watch first-run movies and digital 3-D films while relaxing in plush stadium-style seats.
Meet Mickey or Your Favorite Princess
True Disney dreams are made of opportunities to hug, take pictures with and get an autograph from your favorite Disney character. Disney Dream offers many opportunities for kids and adults to meet and greet their favorite lovable characters every day and at several spots throughout the ship. There is also a special 'Sea Ya Real Soon! Party,' where the night before Debarkation Day cruisegoers get to take last-minute pictures of their favorite Disney characters.
Check Out a Live Show
For the Broadway lovers, head to the Walt Disney Theatre for a taste of the talent Disney has aboard the Dream. For musical fans, check out 'The Golden Mickeys,' a show celebrating the star in us all. And, if you like comedy, there's 'Villains Tonight!' a comedic revue-style live show starring some of the most hated Disney villains. It's no surprise that Jennifer Hudson, this ship's godmother, got her start aboard a Disney cruise ship before winning her Oscar and Grammy awards. There's certainly a lot of talent onboard.
Relax in the Quiet Cove Pool
Sure, there's lots of action aboard the Disney Dream, but adults should definitely take some time to sit back and take in being at sea at the Quiet Cove Pool - one of three freshwater pools specifically for guests 18 years of age or older. In addition to a four-foot-deep plunge pool and a six-inch-deep sunbathing pool, there are built-in loungers, a water mister and, of course, a Cove Bar.
Shake Off Your Parents
Like most cruise lines, the Disney Dream has a nursery for the little ones and their Oceaneer Club and Lab for young people, but the ship really stands out for its commitment to teens. For teenagers, there's nothing cool about being hindered from meeting cool people your age because your parents want to hang out. Enter Vibe. When teens aged 14 through 17 board the Disney Dream, they are given a special card that gives them access to the teens-exclusive space, which includes an indoor lounge and outdoor deck. They can watch television, play video games, listen to music, surf the Web or simply make new friends - all while knowing their
parents won't pester them.
Lounge Around With Family
It's clear that Disney's mission is to encourage families to spend time together while aboard their newest ship. They are so committed to bringing everyone together that they decided to create the D Lounge. Here, families come together nightly to sing karaoke, play bingo and other games and enjoy family-friendly live entertainment.
Party Like a Rock Star
Rock stars have options, and though you're at sea, the Disney Dream has thought of just about every possible nightlife destination that you might be looking for. Whether you're enjoying a glass of bubbly at the posh champagne bar, Pink, or taking in the views of some of the world's most famous cities at Skyline, just make sure you end things off by stopping by the ship's dance club, Evolution, to party until the wee hours of the night.

Beware of the cheapest priced cruises. They are full of fat, smelly, discusting, loud, vulgar, rude, black people. The scenes they create at the buffet table are enough to make you puke. Go on the mid to high priced cruises. The higher price weeds most all of them out.

Wow! That was the meanest thing to say. That statement was full of racism. Sorry you feel that way. Honestly, there is ignorance in every race. There are classless and rowdy people in every race also. You need to pray and release that hate that you have. You hurt yourself more by being that way. Aren't your more embarrassed when your race goes on TV with no teeth, and cannot articulate a reason for having sex with their relatives, Or, why they have no teeth, and it does not even phase them that they are on television hating or insulting Black people and look and sound like an absolute fool. Ignorance is in every race darling.
