"Why Take
a Disney Cruise ?"
By John Metcalfe
Experiencing the magic of Disney at Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney
World and Disneyland Resort Paris is something that is rarely
forgotten as a child or as an adult. With a Disney cruise, you
can now recapture that magic on board one of Disney's elite cruise
ships. There are several exotic Caribbean cruise routes to choose
from, and with a spread of onboard entertainment for all the family
it is a cruise that will live long in the memory of the young
and the young at heart.
All Disney cruises depart from Port Canaveral in Florida through
Disney Cruise Lines, and take guests out on a voyage of the Caribbean.
Short 3-night cruises are catered for as well as 7 night cruises
that encompass a larger number of ports around the Western Caribbean
and Eastern Caribbean.
A typical three or four night Disney cruise takes guests out
into the Bahamas, and includes a visit to the sun-drenched beaches
of Nassau. Shore excursions include a magical tour to the Discover
Atlantis attraction, which is home to more than 120,000 fish.
A 7-night Western Caribbean Disney cruise adds Key West, Grand
Cayman and the island of Cozumel near Mexico to the list of port
stops. At each location a huge variety of shore excursions are
offered for both adults and kids.
On a 7-night Eastern Caribbean Disney cruise, the Bahamas, and
the islands of St Maarten and St Thomas are incorporated into
the itinerary. Again, just as with the Western Caribbean Disney
cruise you will have a choice of many excellent excursion options
too. But, no matter which cruise route you choose there is one
common port of call - Castaway Island.
Castaway Island is Disney's own private island. It is located
near the island of Abacco at the northern end of the Bahamas,
and is a true Never Land. Here you can explore paradise - secluded
white sandy beaches, warm shallow waters and coconut-laden palm
tree groves await, along with a whole host of exciting activities.
You can try your hand at snorkeling while on the island, or go
on a kayak nature adventure. The glass-bottomed boat tour is sure
worth an hour and a half of your time on the island too.
Of course, as you would expect from a corporation like Disney,
sumptuous catering is on offer on the island and on board the
cruise vessel at all times. Days at sea are a pleasure too with
so many activities to keep adults and kids entertained for weeks!
And, when you're done watching one of Disney's original stage
shows, taking your kids to meet Snow White or enjoying a spot
of wine tasting (adults only!), you can kick back in the luxurious
surroundings of your cabin or relax on the pool deck and soak
up some glorious Caribbean sunshine..
