Mama of 2 disney princesses.

My dd will turn 13 while we are on our disney cruise . I would like to have the birthday celebration package for them to decorate our room the morning of her birthday. It doesn't look like much for $49. Is it worth it? Because I know last time we were on DCL her birthday was 3 days before we even boarded the ship and they insisted on giving her a cake at dinner one night. So it seems a lot for a banner, centerpiece, door magnet and the cascade thing. I was just wondering if anyone else had ordered this.  

How many more days til our next cruise?????

I'm cheap. I would bring my own decorations and spent a third of the price.

I'm doing my own thing as well. $49 is a bit much. I am having them sing and bring toe moose like dessert. It is only the two of us. I'll decorate the room the day before while she is in the kids' club.

It used to be worthwhile IMHO when it was $39, but only if you wanted your room to be decorated upon arrival. If the celebration is anytime after you've already boarded I'd just bring my own decorations and do it myself. Also, I believe they've stopped providing celebration cakes in the dining room at no charge, so if you want a cake you'll need to buy it or bring your own. They will still sing, I believe, if you ask them to, but they use one of the regular dessert items.

We are leaving in 3 weeks for our trip on the DCL to celebrate my DD's 16th birthday. I AM planning to order the B-Day celebration package. I know that the actual materials and cake are not gonna be worth that much money, but to see my DD open the door to see the room decorated for her 16th birthday, will make it worth it to me!  

<font color=purple>Come and let me show you my tat

I thought that all ships decorations were done for arrival. For me, just being on the ship is the celebration. You can get a special dessert at dinner, it will be a small thing, 2 people would each get 2 bites, it has the chocolate ribbon with it saying happy birthday or anniversary. If you really want to have cabin decor, you might be better off doing it yourself. Frankly, I think the reason the cakes have been stopped is because everyone was celebrating birthdays all the time, once again, when the word gets out, some people get over zealous. If there are 80 tables in each dining room and 50 of them have celebrations? You can see why it has been scaled back.

psimon said: I am also perplexed as to what to do. We board the Dream on the 19th and my son and daughter (twins) turn 16 on the 22nd. Do I bother with the Disney package? Do I do it myself? As we are a party of 5, we have 2 rooms, with DD in one room with us and DS in other room with another adult. On top of all that, WE are celebrating our 30th anniversary (10 days after we leave the ship) AND this trip was supposed to just a trip to celebrate my older DD graduating college. Everything all at once! Any suggestions as to how to celebrate everything? Many thanks... ---Paul in Southern NJ Click to expand...

I decided against buying their birthday package and spent half that amount going to the dollar store, target and wallmart and getting disney banner, table cloth and cupcake holders as well as confetti for our room. Turned out cheaper. The only drawback to doing this is that you gotta pack and bring it yourself. So maybe for the price part of what you are paying for is the convenience. I would also hope for that price they would put up the decorations and stuff. Aww..am I reading you all correct in that they Do Not give little cakes for birthdays anymore? We are on the wonder and will be celebrating Dad's bday on his special day and i told my mom we wouldn't need to worry cuz we would get a cake at dinner for him. Anxious to hear, otherwise I gotta make other plans!  

We booked our cruise thru Disney and were able to ge a celebration cake for free. We sail in 2 1/2 weeks . So I do think they still have them guess we will see when we r on the cruise  

Hopefully I will not get long winded about this....but we did the Birthday celebration package 2 years ago. Just under 3 years ago, my mom passed away from cancer. After all the bills were paid, their was $12000.00 left to be split between myself and my brother and sister. My wife and I decided that we would take this money and do something we liked to do--not pay any bills with it. We booked a 7 day cruise on the Disney Magic with the money - and it just so happened that the date the cruise left was February 28th...which just happened to be my moms birthday. My wife and I invited her mom to join us also. Since it would have been moms birthday, I had the stateroom decorated for her birthday....and I did not tell my wife or her mom that I did it. It was magical to say the least....the stateroom looked great....the cake was great and it was decorated the whole time we were on the cruise. We still have the decorations and we celebrate moms life each February 28th with her decorations....sorry I was long but to me...it was well worth the money I spent....just Magical!

Making vacation dreams a reality

Make your Disney Cruise More Magical with an In-Room Birthday Celebration!

Sharing is caring!

Looking to make your Disney Cruise more magical with an in-room birthday celebration?  Here is what you need to know.  Sailing on a Disney Cruise is magical in itself!  Add a birthday, anniversary, or any other celebration and it’s that much MORE magical!  One super fun way to add some pixie dust is to order stateroom celebration decorations on your Disney Cruise!

In-Room Celebration Options

The birthday celebration box.

The celebration begins upon entering your stateroom for the first time when you board!

Your in-room birthday celebration package comes with an adorable storage box, which is collapsible to make it easy to put in your suitcase to take home as a souvenir.  Also included is a cute Mickey beach towel, and a large necktie to wear proudly around the ship!

Let Donald and Goofy help you celebrate with this fun window cling!

Possibly my favorite item in the package is this dry erase board.  This is a great way to leave messages for your cabin mates.   “Watching a movie on Funnel Vision!” “gone to take photos with Princesses!”, or “went to get an ice cream cone!”   Have fun with it!

The character  decorations hanging from the ceiling create a festive mood in your stateroom.

You might even keep them up for your entire cruise.  How cute is Sailor Mickey!?

At the end of your cruise, pack everything up so you can use them again at home for another celebration!  This cute in-room birthday celebration package and other options can be purchased online at least 3 days prior to sailing.

Additional Celebration Tips

Birthday button.

Make your Disney Cruise more magical by getting a birthday button, and wear it throughout the cruise for added pixie dust!    Tip:  write your name on it with a sharpie.

Let Your Server Know You’re Celebrating

Celebrate Everything! 

Make your Disney Cruise more magical with the in-room celebration!   If you are celebrating something other than a birthday there is a ‘Nautical’ package that can be fun for any occasion.   Select departing ports also offer other themes such as Avengers or Marvel.

They don’t call it the Disney DREAM for nothin’…

The Disney Dream was the third ship to join the ever-expanding Disney Cruise Line fleet. (Seriously… have you heard that the NEW Disney Destiny was just announced ??) The Disney Dream introduced a new class of ships to the line — the Dream Class, of course! And if it’s YOUR dream to sail on this magical ship, then we hope you’ll join us as we explore everything you and your traveling crew need to know about cruising on the Disney Dream!

Disney Dream Overview

The Disney Dream took its Maiden Voyage with passengers on January 26, 2011. The Disney Fantasy, which followed with its first sailing in 2012, is the sister ship to the Disney Dream.

So, in both its size and structure (with 14 Decks and 1,250 Staterooms) and passenger capacity (a whopping 4,000!), it is similar to the Disney Fantasy. That said, each ship boasts some of their own distinguishing features.

These start right in the ship’s Art deco-inspired Atrium, where a golden statue of Admiral Donald Duck himself welcomes you aboard!

Of course, among additional varied features, the ship’s itineraries differ as well…

Disney Dream Destinations

The Disney Dream primarily offers Bahamian cruises departing from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida .

However, the summer of 2024 holds something very unique in store for passengers on the Dream, as the ship is destined for Europe following a Transatlantic voyage from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona ! Sailings over the summer include Mediterranean (including the Greek Isles), British Isles, Western Europe, and Norwegian Fjords (with one sailing including Iceland) cruises.

When the Dream returns stateside, she’ll depart again from Fort Lauderdale to offer Bahamian and Caribbean cruises, and select sailings will include a stop at Disney Cruise Line’s NEW island destination, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point (and, of course, Disney Cruise Line’s beloved Castaway Cay )!

Check out Disney Cruise Line’s itineraries for Summer 2025 here!

Disney dream entertainment.

Unique Disney Cruise Line entertainment kicks things off RIGHT AWAY as your cruise starts with a Sailing Away Deck Party!

When I say “unique” that’s because the pals joining you in the entertainment throughout the voyage are none other than Disney characters!

Select sailings also present Disney Cruise Line’s famous Pirate Night (complete with FIREWORKS at sea!). And don’t forget: your CREW is invited to don all the Pirate-y garb you can pack in yer suitcase, matey!

When it comes to entertainment options, Disney Cruise Line is best known for its Broadway-style productions — presented in the Walt Disney Theatre — that tie in characters, beloved stories, and treasured music from the Disney films.

The three shows that guests can enjoy on the Disney Dream are Beauty and the Beast , The Golden Mickeys, and Disney’s Believe.

Currently exclusive to the Disney Dream, Beauty and the Beast brings the “Tale As Old As Time” to you live on stage!

In addition to seeing the characters and hearing the songs you already know and love from the animated film, this production also includes two new pieces written by Alan Menken and Tim Rice from the live-action film.

While Beauty and the Beast puts the focus on one Disney film, Disney’s Believe and The Golden Mickeys bring together oodles and oodles of Disney stories, characters, and signature songs!  In Disney’s Believe , which Disney shares is a “spellbinding musical about a workaholic father who reconnects with his daughter through a little Disney magic,” you’ll see familiar friends from Peter Pan, Aladdin, Cinderella, The Lion King , and The Princess and the Frog.

The Golden Mickeys is “a dazzling tribute to the enchanting movies of Walt Disney” (and it includes a red carpet pre-show!). Featured Disney films include — but aren’t limited to — Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Mulan, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Toy Story 2.

P.S. You can pay a visit to Preludes before the show to pick up some popcorn (or perhaps a cocktail) to enjoy in the theatre!

Disney Dream Water Features

Passengers of all ages can make a BIG SPLASH on Deck 11 (and even a bit higher…) of the Disney Dream! Let’s start with that part that’s “a bit higher…”

We’re talking about the Aqua Duck , the water coaster that made its debut on the Dream!

To ride, guests enter on Deck 12. From here? As the Disney Cruise Line website shares, you’ll take a 2-person raft on “a wet and wild journey up, down, around and off the side of the ship, through the Forward Funnel—on a daredevil 4-deck drop.”

Be aware, though, that there is a height requirement of 42 inches or taller to ride (and single riders must be at least 54 inches).

Water areas for all ages include Donald’s Pool on Deck 11, as well as a wading pool on Deck 12.

Specifically for the kiddos is Mickey’s Pool , and Nemo’s Reef in particular is a splash area for those 8 and under.

Mickeys Slide , however, can be enjoyed by passengers ages 4 to 14.

The Quiet Cove Pool is reserved for guests over 18 years of age only, as is the Satellite Falls wading pool, complete with a cooling rain curtain. In the same area, adult guests can enjoy a cocktail at the Currents pool bar (the Waves bar is another option), or step inside the Cove Café for a specialty coffee.

Disney Dream Staterooms

The Disney Dream offers four categories of staterooms: Inside, Oceanview, Verandah, and Concierge. Many of the rooms feature Disney’s innovative split bathroom which allows more guests in a cabin the chance to get ready at one time.

While each category boasts amenities such as premium mattresses and linens, a 22″ LCD flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, and a surprising amount of storage space, there are many more details to explore among the varying categories, so we’ve dedicated a page to those options here .

Looking for ALL the Stateroom details for the Disney Dream? Click HERE!

Disney dream dining.

As with all the other ships in the fleet, the Disney Dream presents a wide array of options, starting with a Disney Cruise Line signature: Rotational Dining!

Rotational Dining means that guests have the chance to enjoy dinner at ALL THREE of the ships main dining rooms, each with their own theme and specialty menus on select nights. The best part is that, as you move to a different restaurant each evening, so do your servers! They “rotate” right along with you so they can get to know your group’s dining preferences.

The three Rotational Dining restaurants on the Disney Dream are Animator’s Palate, Enchanted Garden , and Royal Palace.

Animator’s Palate is an innovative restaurant where the show is drawings coming to life on screens all around you. Undersea Magic immerses diners in the world of  Finding Nemo .

Dinner at the Royal Palace features French and continental cuisine in the opulence of the classic Disney fairytales Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast.

At Enchanted Garden, guests enjoy their meal as the restaurant changes as flowers bloom and the “sky” fades from day to night.

Be aware that Royal Palace and Enchanted Garden may also serve breakfast and lunch during a sailing, offering guests a full service option if they prefer not to dine buffet or quick service style.

A number of options are available throughout the day, as well. Cabanas hosts a massive buffet for both breakfast and lunch. Help yourself!

Also on Deck 11, several Quick Service options serve classics like burgers, hot dogs, chicken strips and fries, pizza, and healthier fare like salads and sandwiches. These are all available at Flo’s Cafe , which is divided into three different stations: Luigi’s Pizza, Tow Mater’s Grill, and Fillmore’s Favorites.

P.S. Don’t forget to follow up any and all of that with some soft-serve ice cream at Eye Scream Treats!

Additional treats — including scoops from a Gelato Bar —  are available for extra purchase at Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats , a charming spot themed to Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph .

And did you know that ROOM SERVICE is available for breakfast or snacks 24 HOURS A DAY??  The vast majority of items are INCLUDED in the cruise price!

Disney Dream Adult Spaces

In addition to the Quiet Cove mentioned earlier, the Disney Dream offers more areas reserved just for grown-ups. These include the fine dining restaurant, Palo , which may be booked for dinner for an additional charge per adult.

Additionally, the famous Palo Brunch is available for booking during sea days! This option is incredibly popular, so advance booking through your Disney Cruise Line account is recommended.

Be aware, as well, that Palo does have a dress code. The Disney Cruise Line website states: “Formal or semi-formal attire is recommended. Also permitted is dress-casual attire with a polished look, such as dress pants, jeans in good condition, collared shirts, dressy tops and lifestyle shoes. For brunch at Palo and Palo Steakhouse, dress shorts are acceptable. Clothing such as T-shirts, swimwear and sports attire are not permitted.”

The Disney Dream is also home to Remy, another adults only option that adheres to a slightly more strict dress code than Palo: Jackets for men (or collared shirt for brunch) are required and no jeans, shorts, capri pants, sneakers, or open toed shoes.

The cuisine is exceptional French fare and reservations are required.

By the way, before or after your special meal, you might stop at Meridian , a lounge overlooking the back of the ship!

Ready to relax with a drink, or maybe even do a little dancing? Adults can pay a visit to The District , featuring several lounges, each with their own distinct style and atmosphere. District Lounge , for instance, is a relaxing piano bar, while Evolution presents late-night entertainment like dancing, games, karaoke, and comedy shows.

Pink is a Wine and Champagne Bar, while Skyline Lounge immerses you in a “sleek sky bar” boasting views of some of the world’s most iconic skylines!

Meanwhile, sports fans can catch a game at Pub 687. 

Adults might also opt to participate in a Mixology Class or Beverage Tasting Seminar for an extra fee. Featured liqueur and cocktail options include — but aren’t limited to — rum, tequila and margaritas, whiskey, champagne tastings, and more!

Advance booking is highly recommended for these fun and VERY popular opportunities!

The Senses Spa & Salon offers a wide array of services and treatments. (And the Rainforest Room provides an especially relaxing oasis!) Select experiences are available for pre-booking, and you can stop by Senses to inquire about prices for the Rainforest Room and other treatments during your cruise. And the Fitness Center offers workout machines and classes.

And though this is not limited to adults, keep in mind that if you’d like to get a jog or two in, Deck 4 hosts a walking track!

Disney Dream Kids Clubs and Experiences

But what about the kids? Oh, don’t you worry… there are specific areas on the ship dedicated to children, offering experiences tailored for ages from infants to teens!

The It’s a Small World Nursery is available for ages 6 months to 3 years old (save for the Transatlantic cruise, during which the nursery welcomes ages 1 to 3 years old).

Be aware that the Disney Cruise Line website states that “Reservations can be made on a first-come, first-served basis during the open house on Embarkation Day or anytime throughout your cruise. Childcare at “it’s a small world” nursery! is available at an additional fee.” Disney also emphasizes that space is limited.

Meanwhile, Disney’s Oceaneer Club AND Disney’s Oceaneer Lab are available for children ages 3 to 10. The Oceaneer Lab specializes in learning while having FUN!

The Oceaneer Club features activities such as character experiences, storytime, and play areas. (There are also specific guided activities for the littlest ones, ages 3 and 4.)

On the Dream, the Oceaneer Club features the following playful spaces: Andy’s Room (that’s Andy from Toy Story ), the Disney Infinity Game Room, Pixie Hollow , and Star Wars : Millennium Falcon.

Keep in mind that Youth Activities counselors are present at all times in these spaces. Parents will want to know that spaces for your child can be pre-registered via your Disney Cruise Line account, and registration may also take place onboard the ship.

Tweens (ages 11 to 14) can gather at the Edge to hang out, watch movies, play games and make friends during group activities with fun Disney counselors and more. And you want to know something really cool? Edge is located in the ship’s Forward Funnel on Deck 13!

Vibe offers cruisers ages 14 to 17 similar activities geared to their age group, or simply a place to chill. It even boasts its own sun deck on the Dream.

We’ve got one more thing to mention, though it’s not a club, per se. For an extra fee, your little Prince or Princess age 3 to 12 can get a makeover at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique .

Disney Princess, knight, and sea captain-themed packages are available… and there’s an exclusive makeover for Pirate Party Nights!

But we’re STILL not done… because children ages 3-12 can partake in a special tea party with Disney characters. Children get gifts including a jewelry box, tiara, bracelet, necklace, a Cinderella doll, and autograph book. Alternatively they can opt for a package including a cinch bag, sword, shield, pins, Duffy plush, and autograph book. The Disney Cruise Line site will have pricing information available when you book via your Disney Cruise Line account in advance.

Disney Dream Activities

Still want MORE to do 😉 ? That’s good, because the Disney Dream has GOT MORE! D Lounge, for example, is the place to be for family fun with events like game shows and trivia, dance parties,  and more.

Catch a movie on the big screen at the Buena Vista Theatre ! You might choose to watch a Disney animated classic, or maybe a Star Wars or Marvel flick. You never know… your sailing just might feature a first-run Disney feature film at sea! “Funnel Vision” on the pool deck shows movies on the big screen, too.

You can find basketball courts and ping-pong tables on Goofy’s Sports Deck. (My personal favorite option here? It’s 9-hole MINI GOLF!)

Want to explore all sorts of areas on the ship while SOLVING A MYSTERY, to boot? Then get ready to play Midship Detective Agency.  You and your fellow detectives will interact with “enchanted art” in locations all over the ship to gather clues and crack a case wide open! In fact, there are 3 cases to solve (including, but not limited to a MUPPETS-themed caper), so you can play several times — on your own or with your crew — if you like!

And let’s not forget that throughout your cruise, you can meet, hug, get autographs from and pose for pictures with your favorite DISNEY PALS!

Sailing with you are the Fab Five (that’s Mickey and the gang), Disney Princesses, friends from Frozen , and more! Be aware that, while all Character Greetings are included with your cruise, select Greeting times may require advance booking.

Seasonal Sailings

Depending on the time of year, you may find that a special seasonal cruise is in store! For instance, select sailings on the Dream offer a Marvel Day at Sea !

And all ships in the fleet present Halloween on the High Seas in September and October, while Very Merrytime Cruises sail in November and December.

Disney Cruise Line Navigator App

Whew! As you can tell, there’s a LOT happening on the Disney Dream! To keep track of what’s happening when and where, be sure to download the free Disney Cruise Line Navigator app before your cruise.

This is where you can easily find ALL of the activities mentioned throughout this post, book select experiences, check out menus for the ship’s dining locations, and MUCH more!

These are not on the website yet. Not under RSP or buy it now.

They were on there earlier. I looked a few hours ago

Cathy, These items are available from DCL’s general Gift and Amenities store , not the maiden voyage pre-sale site.

The items are unavailable on the DCL website. Will there be another opportunity to purchase any of the embarkment sets? If so, when? Is there another way to purchase the items?

Great question. I would keep checking back to see availability returns.

‘Set a course for adventure ‘? Sounds like copyright infringement. Direct quote from the Love Boat theme which belongs to Princess cruises. Surprising since Disney is so protective of their brand.Just reinforces my feelings that imagination is dead.

I see them. Are you in a Wish sailing? If so, click on your reservation and you can see the items under the gifts section.

I’m guessing they are sold out now bc I don’t see them anymore.

Possible pulled due to the number of guests having issues ordering the items.

I’m unable to find anything for Wish on website

Maybe sold out. I was able to purchase an item yesterday, but the Wish items are no longer showing on the site.

I’m furious that everything sold out in a matter of hours. Disappointed in Disney!!! Please offer the pre voyage items again!!

Good News!! They aren’t out of anything!!! I just called DCL earlier and selected the option of website trouble. Only had to wait 4 minutes, the sweet girl that helped me took my order for both my July MV cruise and my October cruise. So they are not out of any of the new packages–they are just continuing to have “computer glitches”!! So either try the website trouble option or here is another phone number that was on my amenity email. 1-800-601-8455. Happy ordering!!

Thank you so much for this! I have been stalking the website to no avail, but I called today and got it ordered. 🙂

kkDid you get Scotts prices or DCL prices that were more?

There is false information on this sight as the cruise line prices are different. the set sail package is 85.00 plus tax making it 90.95. scott shows only 70.00 You can order by phone with long hold wait.

I would not call the information false, I’d say it is out of date if indeed the prices are now different. The prices listed are the price that were listed the day these were online back in mid-May.

Thank you my error

Can we still call and place an order? Wondering why it isn’t back on the site yet

I just called the number suggested above (1-800-601-8455, press option 1 for website help)) and was able purchase the comfort set on the phone. The agent had to hunt a little to find the merchandise number but was able to locate it. The prices have gone up since they were initially announced (now $89 vs $74). Good luck!

I can’t even get into the onboard gifts site to order or see anything. But called and got the set sail decor.

Just remember that the prices have changed. The lower the stock, the higher the price.

The prices have definitely changed. I just ordered the celebration room decorations package and it’s now just over $101 with tax

I was able to order the “set sail” package today by calling. The castmember had to search for it. The price today was $90.95.

Can someone show me what the Holiday Wish Decor Package looks like?

Do you know what the Set Course for Adventure room decor (1259) looks like?

6 Ways to Celebrate Your Special Occasion While on a Disney Cruise

For most of us opting to go on a Disney Cruise, saving and planning and finally taking the leap is such a momentous process that it’s not uncommon for families to plot out these special journeys to fall during important milestones.  From birthdays and anniversaries to graduations and other personal triumphs, these incredible voyages at sea provide the perfect setting for those big moments.  Though a cruise with Disney is certainly celebration enough, there are other ways you can make those milestones even more special.  Here are our suggestions on 6 ways to celebrate your special day while aboard a Disney Cruise.

1. Say it with a Celebration Cake – Guests can opt to have a Disney Cruise Line speciality cake delivered to your stateroom or dining room as a special onboard surprise.  Cakes can be customized in a wide variety of sizes, flavors and icings to create a bespoke masterpiece for your special someone.  Cakes must be ordered 7-days before setting sail.  The cakes start at $25.00.  As of going to print, Mickey is the only character available.  Guests should also note that cake delivery is not available at Palo or Remy.  Cake order forms can be found directly on the Disney Cruise Line website here .

2. Have your stateroom decorated – Disney Cruise Line offers a fun array of stateroom decoration packages that you can be pre-arranged as a special surprise.  Two of our favorite packages are the Birthday Wishes package which starts at $57 and includes a Mickey-themed beach towel, storage cube, dry erase/memo stateroom door magnet and stateroom decoration set.  Or for fans of Nemo and friends, there’s the Finding Dory  room package which features eight hanging garlands, a centrepiece, soft PVC picture frame, a blanket and pillow, mirror cling and door magnet.  The cost for this package is $67.00.  In addition, there are a wide variety of other options available from fruit baskets to romance packages.  See the complete list here .

3. Pirate and Princess Makeovers at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique –  If your little one is celebrating a birthday while at sea, why not surprise them with one of the amazing makeovers at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.  This whimsical shop offers Princess and Mermaid Makeovers that range from $64 – $199 depending on the package or Pirate Makeovers that run anywhere from $44 – $100 per guest.  Unlike the theme parks, I find that you can get a lot of use out of these outfits.  The Mermaid Makeovers come with a two-piece swimsuit that your little ones can splash about in on the beach or one of the ship’s pools.  Most itineraries also offer special Pirate Nights where families are encouraged to dress up like scallywags and hit the decks which means the pirate costumes really come in handy! Makeovers can be booked in the same time as your port adventures.  We recommend early booking as slots can fill up quickly.

4. Have a romantic night without the kids at Palo or Remy –  Perfect for those looking for a romantic meal free from the kids, both of these incredible restaurants offer Fine “Adults Only” Dining experiences that you’ll be talking about for years to come! Remy can be found aboard the Disney Dream or the Disney Fantasy with a menu that focuses on classic French Cuisine.  You’ll find Palo on all four of Disney’s cruise ships.  Here you’ll find an impressive array of Italian dishes.  Both restaurants offer dinner service as well as various tasting options throughout your cruise.  Reservations here do come at a cost and should be made in advance.  Visitors can expect to pay anywhere from $30 upwards per person.

5. Treat your special someone to a day of pampering –  Treat the one you love to the ultimate day of relaxation by booking in a treatment at Senses Spa.  Here you’ll find an incredible range of treatments from traditional Swedish massages to facials, body wraps as well as manicures, pedicures and other salon services.  Or, for those traveling with teenagers, there is Chill Spa, a special spa for those between the ages of 13-17.   Chill Spa offers the same eclectic array of treatments as well as special  Mother/Daughter and Father/Son packages that provide the perfect way to relax and bond! Treatments can be booked in advance or you can visit the spa on embarkation day starting at 1:00 pm where you’ll often find last-minute discounts and free add-ons.

6. Let the staff know for some special onboard surprises – If you’re celebrating a special occasion while at sea our biggest suggestion is to not keep it a secret.  Let your travel agent or the Disney Cruise Line staff know up to 3 weeks prior to sailing. This gives Disney time to alert the Cast Members who will be looking after you during your visit.  Trust us when we say its the little sprinkling of pixie dust here and there that will make you feel extra special during your celebratory Disney Cruise Line getaway.

These are merely a handful of the many amazing ways that you can mark those special occasions while on a Disney Cruise. Get in touch using the details below or fill out our form to receive your FREE quote.

How to Order Disney Cruise Line Room Decor and Onboard Gifts

By: Author tanialamb

Posted on Published: November 7, 2022

Sailing on Disney Cruise Line is so much fun! You can decorate your Disney Cruise Line stateroom with your own decor or you can order room decor through Disney Cruise Line, so your room is already decorated when you walk in for an even bigger wow factor!

How to Order a Disney Cruise Line Room Decor Package

If you want to add a little extra pixie dust to your Disney Cruise Line room, you can order a Disney Cruise Line room decor package through Onboard Gifts . 

And it’s not only room decor! You can order Birthday Cakes, jewelry, sweets and snacks, alcohol, Star Wars and Marvel themed gifts and more. if you’re not the one sailing, you can also surprise a friend or family member with any of these options!

All packages and gifts must be ordered at least 3 days in advance of sail date. You can browse gift and room decor options with a reservation number or by port as some options may be different. 

Personally I’d rather spend my money on a room decor package to take home some souvenirs, because there is so much food and desserts on board the ships! Or I’d splurge on Palo Brunch as it’s my favorite meal.

Birthday Celebrations on Disney Cruise Line

There is also a birthday room package for Disney Cruise Line to help celebrate a birthday. Or again, you can also bring some of your own room decorations from home.

We did order my daughter a birthday cake in January of 2022 while we were onboard, and it was a fun surprise for her! We had to order at least 24 hours in advance at Guest Relations and they delivered it to her during our main dining room time. We were so full and had so much cake leftover!

Disney Merrytime Cruise Room Decor Packages

How cute is this Merrytime Cruise Christmas Decor package? For some reason it’s not showing up online through Onboard Gifts, but many guests have said you can order it by calling Disney Cruise Line directly. 

You’ll receive the room banners, blanket, pillow, and Goofy scarf all for around $100. 

All aboard for holiday fun!

This Santa Mickey pillow is adorable!

There are so many magical ways to surprise and delight guests on Disney Cruise Line. You could also make a reservation at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique or buy your teens Disney Cruise Line wifi 😉  Or how about running the Castaway Cay 5k together?

No matter what your family’s love language is, you’re sure to have a great time on board. Bon voyage!

Celebrating your Birthday on a Disney Cruise

Celebrating your birthday on a Disney Cruise? We can’t think of a much better way to celebrate! Here are some fun ways to add a little magic to your special day at sea.

Celebrating your birthday on a Disney Cruise

Everyone views their birthdays differently. I never used to put too much stock into my birthday, but as I’ve gotten older, I realize every year is a blessing. So why not celebrate that? A Disney Cruise, though a lavish way to celebrate, could help you have the best birthday ever. 

Have a Birthday Celebration on the Disney Cruise 

There are many ways to celebrate your birthday on a Disney Cruise, it doesn’t matter which Disney Cruise Ship you sail, they always make you feel special. Make sure you have checked the birthday celebration box on your Disney Cruise Navigator. While this doesn’t really do much, your waitstaff will host a small celebration for you on one of the nights of your cruise. And by this I mean, they’ll bring you a special birthday dessert and sing to you. It’s small, but it’s fun and the birthday dessert is always something special you can’t get otherwise. Of course, if you don’t like people singing, you can probably skip checking that little box. 

Order something special for your room

Want to have a little something special delivered to your room for your birthday? Under Onboard Gifts, you can select things like champagne, a Mickey or Minnie-shaped cake, flowers, and more. Order these for yourself or whoever’s birthday you’re celebrating, and when you arrive at your room, they’ll magically be there waiting for you! The selection varies by itinerary. So if you’d like to do this, just check the onboard gifts page associated with your cruise to see what’s available.

Have your stateroom decorated

Another option under the onboard gifts page is to have your room decorated. This isn’t available on all cruises. But many itineraries offer some sort of room decoration. If you’re going on a themed cruise, you’ll likely be able to find a room decoration associated with the theme. Themes like Halloween on the High Seas , Marvel, or Pixar at Sea usually have decorations that include blankets and ceiling decorations. Your stateroom host will have this all set up for you when you arrive. Just like magic!

Visit the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

If the birthday girl or boy is 12 or under, make a reservation at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for a royal makeover. Unlike the Walt Disney World and Disneyland versions, this experience tends to be a little easier to get. This experience can be booked before your cruise, and sometimes there are even spots available after boarding. 

Get a manicure at the Tangled Salon

If you’re cruising on the Disney Wish , visit the Tangled salon for a manicure or fresh haircut and style. This salon is so pretty and such a luxurious experience at sea. It’s pretty easy to get appointments to be done up here too. Just stop by the salon on your voyage and see what they have available! 

And if you’re not sailing on the Disney Wish, all of the other ships also have nail and hair services onboard in Senses Spa. 

Treat yourself to a spa experience for your birthday on a Disney Cruise 

Maybe Hair and Nails aren’t really your thing. That’s ok! Treat yourself to a massage, the Rainforest Room for some luxury, or a facial. Senses Spa is the perfect way to relax and treat yourself on your birthday. 

Have Brunch or Dinner at a fancy restaurant on a Disney Cruise

No matter which ships you’re cruising on, there’s always a fancy adult-only dinner that can be had. These cost extra and require reservations. But if you book right when your excursion window opens up, it’s usually not too difficult to score one of these reservations. And if you can’t snag one beforehand, you can always try to get one once onboard. Disney Cruise Line usually keeps a small amount of these reservations for onboard booking, so just be sure to check once you arrive on Embarkation Day.  

Do nothing on a Disney Cruise for your birthday 

Sometimes, the best thing to do is simply nothing. And lucky for you, this is completely possible for your birthday on a Disney Cruise! Wake up with room service delivered for breakfast. Head to the decks to cozy up with a good book. Spend some time relaxing in the Rainforest Room. And end your day with a relaxing meal at one of your cruise ship’s main dining rooms. Sometimes doing nothing is the very best thing of all!

Have you ever spent your birthday on a Disney Cruise? Let us know what you did for your birthday!

The “Celebration at Sea” In-Room Package on the Disney Wish Makes For a Fun Surprise (Photos, Video)

Hi everyone!

We sailed on the Disney Wish for my birthday in late August, and our sponsor travel agency MEI-Travel & Mouse Fan Travel surprised me with the Celebration at Sea package that is an in-room gift only available on the Disney Wish. I planned to write this article earlier, but the package wasn’t showing as available online. But now, there are several Disney Wish exclusive packages displayed on the Disney Cruise Line website. The Celebration at Sea package currently costs $95.00. Here is a look at what is included!

From Disney: Get the party started with a spectacular celebration aboard the new Disney Wish! Whether your special someone is turning one or 100, this festive package transforms your stateroom with birthday-themed décor featuring Captain Minnie, Captain Mickey and friends. Decorations include one “Happy Birthday” dry-erase door magnet; one oversized towel; 2 pillowcases; one “Celebrate” ceiling banner; one “Happy Birthday” ceiling banner and a playful Pluto scarf for your guest of honor to wear.

Here is our video and then photos.

I was really surprised when we opened the door. The Celebration at Sea package has a lot of elements to it – the pillowcases, towel, room decor, Pluto scarf (though it looks more like a bed runner). And I love that the items are Disney Wish specific.

Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto are on the towel. The towel says “Celebrate Today”.

Captains Mickey and Minnie are on the pillowcases, with “It’s My Day” written on them.

“Celebrate” hangs from the ceiling.

Disney Wish magnets held the decor up.

The Pluto scarf has a plush Pluto head on one end.

This is the first time I’ve had a door magnet in almost 10 cruises. It was a fun addition to the door!

There is also a banner that says “Happy Birthday” with Goofy and Donald.

This was a really great surprise. Thank you to our sponsor MEI-Travel and Mouse Fan Travel . We do recommend the agency for booking the Disney Cruise Line (or any cruise or Disney destination).

The Celebration at Sea package is not only a lovely onboard surprise, but it allows the recipient to enjoy a set of festive souvenirs long after the cruise is over. And maybe it won’t be a surprise, perhaps you just want to buy it for yourself. There are also other gifts and packages that can be purchased as part of Disney Cruise Line onboard gifts .

We briefly took the decorations down for photos and video of the room. Here is a look at our video of  stateroom 6614!

Disney Cruise WiFi: Packages and Prices

Internet access and cruising don’t always mix, but if you set sail on a Disney cruise , you have several options to post the occasional picture on Instagram or check your email. Disney Cruise Line offers several internet packages aboard its fleet. All Disney cruise ships have WiFi .

Until recently, all internet packages aboard Disney cruises were priced with a “pay for what you use” model, with data plans based on megabyte usage. With the arrival of the Disney Wish in 2022, Disney announced changes to the Disney Cruise Line internet packages, which are now priced based on the type of internet access you want in a 24-hour period. These changes have now been rolled out on all ships, with the Disney Wonder being the final ship to upgrade to the new system during a September 2023 Dry Dock.

Below, we discuss everything you need to know about how Disney Cruise WiFi works in 2023.

Prices shown below are accurate as of August 2023.

Disney Cruise Line Internet Packages

WiFi is available in three packages, each with a different level of internet access:  Stay Connected , Basic Surf , and Premium Surf :

These packages are based on usage for a 24-hour period, not a calendar day. If the time of day you use the internet matters to you, you’ll want to purchase a plan at a time that will renew when it’s convenient — and not in the middle of a work meeting.

You can share the plan on multiple devices (as long as you log out of one device before using the other) or pay to connect multiple devices simultaneously. And you can save a little money by purchasing for the entire length of your cruise.

Packages previously varied by ship, but these are now the standard packages across the entire fleet: the Disney Dream , Disney Fantasy , Disney Magic , Disney Wish , and Disney Wonder .

Here’s more information about each package, including their prices:

Stay Connected

The most basic internet package on a Disney cruise allows you to access, post, and engage on social media platforms, specifically Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Twitter/X, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Tumblr.

• $18 for 24 hours of access
• $16 per day if purchased for the entire cruise

This mid-tier internet package allows access to the social media platforms listed above, plus basic browser surfing and email capabilities. Audio WiFi calls are also available with this package.

• $28 for 24 hours of access
• $24 per day if purchased for the entire cruise

Premium Surf

The highest internet Disney cruise WiFi plan gives you all the access included in the Stay Connected and Basic Surf plans (with faster connection speeds). Plus, you can stream music and short-form video on apps like Pandora, Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube. Video calling through FaceTime and Zoom is also available with this package.

• $42 for 24 hours of access
• $34 per day if purchased for the entire cruise

It’s important to know that none of the packages (not even Premium Surf) supports long-form video streaming such as using Disney+, Hulu, or Netflix.

Does Disney Cruise Line Offer Free WiFi?

There are several ways you can get free WiFi on a Disney cruise:

Use the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App

Disney Cruise Line allows guests to access the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App for free.

The app is powered by a free WiFi network (DCL-GUEST) that’s only available onboard the ship.

The app is similar to the My Disney Experience app and includes a host of information about your cruise. You can view your planned activities, excursions, rotational dining assignments, deck plans, entertainment schedules, dinner menus, and much more.

One of the app’s most handy features is the ability to message friends and family who are also on board.

If you want to truly unplug during your cruise vacation, the WiFi access you get through the Navigator app may be all the internet you need during your Disney cruise.

Stay in a Concierge-Level Stateroom

One benefit of staying in a concierge-level stateroom is free WiFi. How much internet you’ll get depends on the type of stateroom you booked. Those staying in Royal Suites get Premium Surf internet for the entire cruise. Concierge Suites get Basic Surf for the whole cruise, too. Other Concierge-Level staterooms get one day of Basic Surf for free.

Use Your Onboard Credit

Many Disney travel agencies offer a free onboard credit that can be used toward purchases you make while you’re onboard the ship. You can spend this on specialty dining, gratuities/tips , spa treatments, souvenirs… and virtually anything else that’s charged back to your shipboard account.

Luckily for you, onboard internet packages are charged to the folio, so onboard credit can be used to pay towards your onboard WiFi package.

The size of your onboard credit depends on the travel agency you pick and the cost of your cruise, but it could easily be enough to cover the cost of your shipboard internet.

How to Use the Internet on Disney Cruise Line

Internet packages can be purchased through the Disney Cruise Navigator app once onboard and connected to the ship’s WiFi. To buy a plan, click the “more” tab in the app and scroll down to “connect to the Internet.” From there, you can select a package, the number of devices you want to use, and the number of days you wish to purchase. You’ll then be prompted to review the plan and check out. The package will be charged to your stateroom folio. If you have trouble connecting to the internet, the onboard internet help desk can troubleshoot internet and cell phone access onboard.

Can You Share Internet on a Disney Cruise?

You can share one internet plan on multiple devices if you only use one at a time and log out of each device when you’re done using it.

Multiple-device plans are also offered; choosing one of these will save you a bit of money versus the cost of purchasing two separate plans.

How Much is WiFi on a Disney Cruise?

WiFi plans have starting rates between $16 to $42 a day. The price can vary drastically based on the number of days you purchase and the amount of connected devices. You’ll get a slight discount if you purchase a plan for your entire cruise. You also save for each device you add.

Does Disney Cruise Line Have Cell Service?

Whether your cell phone will work on a Disney cruise depends on your carrier and plan. Cell carriers like AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile provide Cellular at Sea aboard Disney cruises, which allows you to use your plan like you normally would in your stateroom. However, you may need to pay roaming charges (which can get very expensive, very quickly) or purchase a special cruise add-on from your carrier. Your data allotment (cellular internet) also may be much more limited than on land. It’s best to check with your individual cell phone carrier before your cruise to determine how cell phone data usage will work while onboard.

How Good is the WiFi on Disney Cruise Ships?

While the internet speed on cruise ships has improved drastically over the years, it’s slower than the web surfing you’re used to at home.

Disney warns cruise guests that onboard internet may sometimes be slow, interrupted, or completely unavailable. This is especially true on at-sea days; the final sea day of a Disney Alaska cruise is notoriously bad for internet due to the ship’s position and direction of travel.

However, most cruisers will typically find onboard internet sufficient to occasionally check email, post on social media , or make a video call.
