Best Splurges on Disney Cruise Line

Imagine elevating your Disney Cruise Line experience from “That was fun!” to “Wow, that was epic!” Sometimes, a little extra investment can transform a good vacation into an unforgettably magical experience. If you’re planning a Disney Cruise Line experience, I have some splurges to share with you that are totally worth every penny.

A Disney Cruise Line voyage is a simply magical experience–there is nothing like the magical touches, all inclusive feel, and beautiful ships. Compared to other cruise lines, Disney Cruise Line remains the best for experience. And while I have sailed Royal Caribbean as well, I will consistently recommend and sail Disney Cruise Line before any other cruise line.

As with any travel experience, some things are more “worth” it to travelers than others. What’s a splurge to me may be an everyday experience for you! And vice versa! But, after sailing Disney Cruise Line several times, I am excited to share some of the best splurges with you!

Verandah Stateroom: Your Personal Sanctuary at Sea

Upgrading to a verandah stateroom is more than just an accommodation choice—it’s an experience. Disney Cruise Line staterooms are the largest at sea-and noticeably so in my opinion. Picture yourself enjoying a peaceful sunset from your private outdoor space, with the gentle ocean breeze and breathtaking views. This personal sanctuary offers an invaluable retreat from the ship’s bustling energy, providing a perfect spot for relaxation, reading, or simply soaking in the maritime magic. The fresh air, views, and extra space with a verandah make it a worthwhile cost when on a Disney Cruise Line ship.

Specialty Dining: Culinary Adventures at Sea

Disney Cruise Line’s specialty dining restaurants aren’t just meals; they’re very popular and memorable experiences. From Palo to Remy to Enchante, these adult-exclusive dining venues offer gourmet cuisine that goes far beyond standard cruise fare. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself to an extraordinary dining experience, these restaurants promise to delight your taste buds and create lasting memories. The kids will love being in the kids’ clubs, a specialty dining experience is perfect for the parents to enjoy an amazing meal while the kids play!

Senses Spa Treatments: Ultimate Relaxation at Sea

The Senses Spa on Disney Cruise Line is an experience in itself. What a perfect way to splurge and enjoy some self-care while on your sailing! Indulge in the ship’s spa and transform your cruise into a wellness retreat. Massages, facials, and specialized therapies offer the perfect opportunity to unwind and rejuvenate. The Rainforest Room, an adults-only area with steam rooms, jacuzzis, and relaxation spaces, provides an extra layer of tranquility. From aromatherapy-infused steam rooms to the soothing sound of the waves, every detail is designed to awaken your senses and leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.

Traveling with teens? They can also indulge in some exclusive spa experiences! The Chill Spa is no longer separate in Senses-instead, Senses has a spa menu offering just for teens!
Specialty Drinks and Unique Culinary Experiences

While Disney offers complimentary beverages, splurging on specialty drinks can add extra magic to your cruise. Imagine sipping a cocktail in the Star Wars-inspired Hyperspace Lounge or enjoying a Princess Tiana beignet. These small indulgences can become the most memorable moments of your trip.

Royal Court Royal Tea Party: A Magical Character Experience for Kids

The Royal Court Royal Tea is a MUST for families with children aged 3-12. We have been to the theme parks and had a lot of magical princess experiences–but this by far exceeds any of those with magic! This enchanting experience includes princess interactions, storytelling, themed refreshments, and special keepsake gifts that will make your child’s cruise truly magical. It is costly, but it is also a once in a lifetime experience. I do not think I would book this on every sailing, but it’s definitely worth doing at least once!

Couple this with a makeover at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and you truly have a fantastic experience for you and your princess!

Beverage Tastings: Adult Fun and Education

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a cocktail connoisseur, or curious about whiskey, rum, or tequila, these expert-led sessions offer a fun and interactive way to expand your palate. Knowledgeable bartenders and sommeliers guide you through each tasting, sharing fascinating insights and insider tips along the way. From learning the art of mixology to discovering the perfect wine pairing, these experiences add a touch of sophistication to your magical voyage. Plus, with small group settings and premium pours, it’s the perfect way to unwind and indulge in a little adults-only enchantment at sea.t about tasting but also learning about the craft behind these beverages.

A Disney cruise is already a magical experience, but these splurges can transform it into an absolutely extraordinary vacation. Choose the indulgences that resonate most with you and your family, and create memories that will last a lifetime!
