What happens
on days at sea?

When you
spend a day at sea on a Disney ship, you enjoy fun-filled
activities for every member of the family, fantastic
Disney-style entertainment, Character meet-and-greets, amazing
themed restaurants, swimming, dancing, spa and fitness programs,
onboard shopping and of course recreation and relaxation
under the sun!
There's so
much to do on the ship! How will I know what's going on when?
-
It's easy to
keep track of everything that's happening onboard. Each day,
your Personal Navigator is delivered to your stateroom with a
complete listing of all onboard activities, adventures and
entertainment. There are also special Personal Navigators for
each children's age group and teens, listing activities and
entertainment that are appropriate for each group. Also, Guest
Services (on Deck 3, Midship) will be happy to assist you with
any questions.
Will I get to
see Disney Characters onboard?
-
The beloved
Disney Characters appear in an array of different settings,
including plenty of meet-and-greet and photo opportunities,
along with stage shows and other special programs especially
in kids' areas at Disney's Oceaneer Club and on Castaway Cay.
There is a Character Breakfast on 7-night cruises, but there are
many opportunities to meet Characters on all cruises.
Can all
children participate in youth activities?
-
Supervised
youth activities are available on the ship from 9:00 a.m. to
midnight for children ages 3-12. Children must be age 3 or older
and toilet-trained in order to participate. Children must be
able to interact comfortably within our counselor-to-child
ratios of 1:15 (ages 3-4) and 1:25 (ages 5-12) and within our
established age groupings of 3-4, 5-7, 8-9, 10-12. We are unable
to provide one-on-one care. A child who becomes disruptive
within the group may be excluded from participation. Parents
sign their children (ages 3-12) in and out of activities and are
provided pagers so they can keep in touch. Events have been
designed for teens as well, ages 13-17. Teens do not need to be
signed in and out by parents. There is no additional charge for
these planned events.

that children must be toilet-trained in order to enter the pools?
