Disney Cruise Line Cruises

Disney Cruise Line's ships all have everything you need for delicious meals from morning to evening. With three themed Main Dining Restaurants, a casual buffet, quick-service dining, 24-hour room service and snacks throughout the day, you'll never find yourself going hungry during your holiday. With so many options, you may be overwhelmed when it comes to choosing where to go, but here are a few favourite venues:

• Duck-In Diner- featuring Middle Eastern inspired shawarma as well as classic American hamburgers and hot dogs.
• Pinocchio's Pizzeria- choose your favourite toppings and tuck into this delicious, freshly made pizza available throughout the day.
• Sweet on You- perfect for those with a sweet tooth, dig into decadent frozen desserts and lots of other treats.

In addition, for the grown ups looking for a romantic place to have dinner, there are venues that cater exclusively for adults. At Palo you can try Northern Italian specialities with a contemporary twist, while Remy serves up some of the finest French dining at sea.

Offering a full list of entertainment options, including award-winning Broadway-style Disney shows, for both the young and the young at heart, there is something for everyone onboard a Disney Cruise Line ship.

As you would expect evening entertainment is vibrant, exciting, plentiful and provides the highest level of entertainment options for the whole family to enjoy. One of the highlights of a Disney cruise is meeting all your favourite characters! This could be classics such as Mickey and Minnie, and Toy Story or new franchises such as Avengers, Star Wars and Frozen. Whatever ages your kids (or any other members in your group), there’s guaranteed to be a meet and greet, and photo opportunities for everyone.

Live shows are also a highlight of evening entertainment. During your cruise you can enjoy musical extravaganzas such as the likes of Tangled: The Musical and Disney's Aladdin in one of the onboard theatres. For those who'd rather be on their feet, there are also lots of deck parties throughout the cruise, which are of course also attended by some of your favourite Disney characters!

Alternatively, if you'd rather just enjoy a drink (or two!) there are plenty of bars and lounges to choose from on each ship, so find your favourite spot to head to night after night or try somewhere different every evening:

• Cadillac Lounge
• District Lounge
• Keys
• D Lounge
• Promenade Lounge
