What’s Included with Your Disney Cruise

Disney Cruise Line offers a well-rounded experience with a wide range of inclusions designed to maximize comfort, convenience and fun for families. Most essentials are covered in the cruise fare, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the journey without unexpected costs. From immersive entertainment to thoughtful dining options and award-winning youth programs, the standard Disney cruise package is designed to deliver magic at sea with minimal need for add-ons.

Dining

Every Disney cruise includes access to the line’s unique rotational dining system, where guests alternate between three distinctly themed Main Dining Rooms while keeping the same serving team each night. Venues include favorites like Animator’s Palate, Royal Palace and Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure, depending on the ship. In addition to the main restaurants, guests can enjoy complementary casual eateries such as the Cabanas or Marceline Market buffet, quick-service counters by the pool and 24-hour room service. Menus are designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes, with options for children, vegetarians and guests with dietary restrictions.

Beverages

Disney includes unlimited non-alcoholic beverages such as lemonade, iced tea, hot chocolate and coffee at self-service drink stations and during meals. Soda is also included, which is a key difference from most other cruise lines that typically charge extra for it. This provides meaningful savings for families. Alcoholic drinks, specialty coffees, mocktails and smoothies are available for purchase at lounges, dining venues and poolside bars. Guests may also purchase drink packages for bottled water, beer or wine, which can be delivered to their stateroom.

Wi-Fi

Internet access is not included in the cruise fare, but guests can choose from two optional internet plans to stay connected at sea:

• Internet Package: This is the more affordable option and is designed for general browsing and communication. Guests can post on social media, use messaging apps, make video calls, surf the web, and check email. Short-form videos on platforms like Snapchat and TikTok are supported. This package does not include access to YouTube or long-form streaming platforms such as Disney+ or Hulu.
• Internet + Streaming Package: This plan includes all features of the basic Internet Package plus faster speeds and support for full streaming. Guests can watch content on platforms like Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and YouTube, as well as listen to audio through Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming services. While video game streaming is technically possible, performance may vary due to satellite limitations.

Guests can activate and manage internet access once onboard by opening the Navigator app and selecting “Connect to Internet” to view and purchase available plans.

Entertainment and Activities

Disney’s signature entertainment is a highlight of every sailing, and it’s all included in the cruise fare. Guests can enjoy Broadway-caliber stage productions such as The Little Mermaid, Frozen or Beauty and the Beast, along with first-run Disney movies in the Buena Vista Theatre. Deck parties, pirate-themed nights with fireworks at sea and daily character appearances are also part of the experience. Other complimentary activities include trivia contests, arts and crafts, pool games, scavenger hunts and interactive family game shows. The fitness center, pools, waterslides and sports courts are open to all guests.

Youth Programming

Disney’s youth programming is among the most immersive and well-developed at sea, with all kids’ clubs and teen lounges included in the cruise fare. The “it’s a small world” Nursery provides a safe and welcoming space for infants and toddlers ages 6 months to 3 years, featuring age-appropriate toys, games and quiet-time activities; nursery care is available for an additional fee and should be reserved in advance. Children ages 3 to 12 can explore the Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab, where themed areas inspired by Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars host hands-on activities, crafts, storytelling and character visits. Tweens ages 11 to 14 can hang out at Edge, a space filled with video games, guided challenges and social events, while teens ages 14 to 17 have access to Vibe, a relaxed lounge with movies, music, games and themed parties. All spaces are supervised by trained counselors, and programming is carefully designed to keep kids engaged and entertained throughout the cruise.

From world-class entertainment and kid-friendly programming to full-service dining and beverage options, Disney Cruise Line delivers strong built-in value for families seeking a fun, hassle-free vacation.
