Okay, I’m 19 years old and I am going on a cruise line with my older sister, dad and his girlfriend. For some reason, my dad picked the disney cruise line and now I am wondering if disney even provides activies for people are too old to hang out w/the teenagers and can’t drink or anything.
Thanks! Erin

Yes!
There are so many things for you to do. Be thankful that your dad chose Disney Cruise Line. Disney
is on of the best cruise lines ever. It is a luxury ship.
I know that you might be avoiding children.
They have special pools for you guys. They are very cool.
They also have a special hangout for people in college. Which is probably you.
The restaurants are fantastic. Which ship are you going on? The Disney MAgic has the better
restaurants.
But yes. There are some nay things for you to do. Whether you are on the magic or wonder.
I hope you have fun! The shows are mostly disney except for some adult shows that you can
attend.
HAVE FUN!
Vacations can spell enjoyment and stress at the same time. The time of planning, booking and hazards of trips are just few troubles one may encounter along the way. Nevertheless, one should consider enjoying and the fun side of it rather than divulge on the pressure that can ruin all the plans and preparation.
Family vacation requires a lot of preparation considering that you should satisfy your own desires and likes alongside the wants of your toddlers, teens and spouse. Consolidating the ideas they have and the thrills they want to gain are various points that should be dealt upon for a vacation to be fruitful.
Here are some ideas you can consider when planning to go on a family vacation:
1.Why not go on a beach vacation? It is not easy to please all members of the family and resorts can be a good option. There are beaches where multitude of activities can be done like jet skiing, surfing, and cruising which you and your teens can enjoy. There are also resorts with kids’ pools and slides for your toddlers. Prioritize the enjoyment of the family but check on the safety of the place and the water specifically.
2.The family can also go on a cruise vacation. You can free yourself from planning and other activities because there are packages provided by ships and other cruise lines. All you have to do is choose among the packages and be present on the set date of your floating vacation. Cruise activities include spas, casinos and live entertainment for teens and adults. Youngsters are offered with kids’ activities so nobody is left bored and idle. Check on the medical facilities of the cruise lines to ensure your health while on the cruise.
3.If your family enjoys a country lifestyle, you can have a family ranch vacation. There are ranches which welcome people and offer vacation packages. There are those which are near rivers where you can do rafting and engage in a river trip. The family can also involve in ranch tour, join lessons about horseback riding and take care of horses and other animals such as cattle. A special set of activities for children are designed to get them busy while on the ranch.
4.Adventure vacation is not a bad idea either. Adventures suck as kayaking, sailing, hiking, canoeing, camping, hunting and a whole lot more can excite all the members of the family. Nature tripping is a good adventure to give you and your family fun and learning at the same time.
5.Theme parks can also be a good choice. You can choose Universal Studios which offer an array of incredible rides and attractions. Universal Studios is a theme park and movie studio in one. You can also tour and watch real working films and scenes from your much loved movies. Walt Disney also offers an Animal Kingdom Theme Park and a lot more. Children and adults alike can also enjoy the Disney resorts and other wonderful areas in the Walt Disney.
6.For holiday season, the family can try a snow vacation. Snow can make your vacation a lot different! There are numerous resorts in California, New Hampshire or Vermont which offers country skiing, dog sledding, ice fishing, ice skating, sliding, ice climbing and other exciting activities. There are also schools accepting enrollees for ski lessons; or you can simply enjoy the snow by making snow man, angels, etc.
7.Volunteer vacations. Your family can try the unique but worthwhile volunteer work with helpful humanitarian and nature causes. There are global volunteer works which cater to those groups who wanted to engage in charitable projects. There are those located in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Costa Rica, Africa, and much much more. Projects vary from animal welfare, health and safety, education, community development, children’s issue, environment and nature or poverty. Be sure that family members all compromised with this kind of vacation because laborious work and sacrifice are involved here rather than relaxation.
There are several more ideas one family can think of while planning for their much awaited vacation. One family member differs with another so careful compromises and decision must be made to make sure that all will be satisfied and happy. A good vacation does not depend on its longevity; rather the measure is the quality of time spent with the family.

We are a couple (38 and 40) with no children. We read lots of bad reviews about the other cruise lines, but rarely do we see bad reviews about Disney. My aunt and uncle (late 50s) also never had children and they have sailed on Disney three times and love it. The impression I get is that perhaps the child programs and adult programs are very much separated from one another on the Disney ships than on the other ships. What do you think?
There is a first time for everything but with a Disney cruise you should expect a lot of children. Do you like children and can you tolerate them? The other concern with Disney is the price. For that price you could take a much better cruise in a better cabin possibly with a better itinerary for cheaper. It just depends on the cruise line…
You should look at your travel dates and consider the itinerary first. Royal Caribbean is a good line along with Celebrity. Celebrity is a great cruise line and it caters to more of an upscale crowd, the service, the rooms, the amenities, and everything else are outstanding. Princess is also good, but it caters to a more older crowd along with Holland America. Though Princess does amazing Alaska cruises. NCL might be a line to try however it’s hit or miss.
And the thing about complaints on cruise lines, you have to evaluate each person’s story for what its worth. Some just like complaining while others have valid points. You can’t let other people stories and or reviews dictate your decisions in life especially on a cruise.
I would definitely avoid Carnival, MSC, and Costa. I’ve cruised all of those and while I had a great cruise I wouldn’t go back unless I could get a great deal. I’ve had better on other cruise lines. I would definitely recommend Celebrity, as it’s one of the best cruise lines I’ve been on.
