Family cruisers hear a lot about how wonderful Disney Cruise Line ships are … especially from us. We love the high level of service, the cabins designed just right for travelers with multiple kids (bunk beds come out of the ceiling! Diaper Genies are on loan ... for free!), the industry-leading kids clubs that are constantly being updated with cool new areas ("Star Wars" play rooms! Marvel comics areas!), and the giant roster of activities for little cruisers of all ages. Their stage shows include miniature versions of your favorite Disney films and Broadway shows, from "Tangled: The Musical" to "Aladdin" and a live performance of "Frozen" that's sure to blow the socks off the under-five set. Hey, even the pool-side chicken fingers are impressively crispy, and there are salads and cut-fruit salads for the healthy eaters.
Plus, since this is Disney, the technology is impressive too, with industry leading apps that keep you on top of what's going on onboard, in-cabin cell phones that function as Walkie Talkies for family members, and cutting-edge video games in the children's play rooms. Best of all, when you do pay more for upgrades, you get more. Take Remy, the modern French restaurant that's the hottest adults-only ticket on these ships: Sure, it's an almost $100-per-person upgrade, but it is one of the most elegantly executed meals at sea, and that includes specialty restaurants on luxury ships.
