On the Disney Dream, one of the brand new Disney Cruise ships to join the fleet, children of all ages will be entertained by interaction with animated Disney characters, magical portholes, artwork that comes to life, spectacular fireworks displays, floors that are actually giant video games plus the creature comforts and elegance of the richly decorated interiors of the ship, its clubs, spas, theaters, restaurants and staterooms.

How could you not relax and unwind in the treat-for-the-senses that the Senses Spa and Salon offers both adults and teens. Whether you want an aromatherapy session, the steam room and sauna in the Rainforest room or to enjoy the hydrotherapy, a massage, a body wrap or facial, the opportunities to luxuriate in the plush surroundings, with ocean views, are all just waiting for you on a Disney Cruise. You can even go to the Smile Spa for teeth whitening and regular salon services such as hairstyling, manicures and pedicures for both men and women are also available.

Teens are catered for as well – they have their own Chill Spa which offers services to relax and rejuvenate designed specifically for the young adult.

However it’s not all about sensational relaxation, there are also “adrenaline-junkie” pursuits as well. The AquaDuck Water Coaster is a fantastic flume ride 765 feet in length and rising to four decks in height, with turns, twists, dips, river rapids, uphill acceleration and drops. There is even a “jaw-dropping” loop which swings you, in a translucent section,12 feet out over the side of the ship, with the ocean one hundred fifty feet below! Not for the faint hearted!

The facilities available for everyone from babies all the way to up seniors, include clubs and labs for the kids to do their own thing and have adventures in areas that are age-relevant and fully supervised. Chill-out lounges offer activities for older children with the newest innovations like the Magic PlayFloor that combines Disney’s special flair for storytelling with video game technology.

With all this activity, everyone will get hungry and whatever your appetite, there is something sure to please from the Enchanted Garden to the elegant Remy for gourmet dining.

Every member of the family will long remember the delight for the senses they experienced sailing on a  Disney Cruise.

If you are looking for all inclusive cruises, you have to be very careful. A lot of cruises do promote themselves as all inclusive, as this is a big trend nowadays and really attracts customers. However, if you look at the fine print, which they hope you won’t do until after you’ve booked, they actually exclude quite a lot of things. They may only include drinks with meals, with all other drinks having to be paid for, or ‘including drinks’ may turn out to refer to soft drinks only but not alcoholic drinks. Other so-called all inclusive cruises may include eating in the boat’s main dining-room, but the fine print says that meals in any of the other on-board restaurants must be paid for.

Entertainment is another source of confusion. Cruises do of course vary a lot in the type of on-board activities they offer. Some go for lectures and classical chamber music, whereas others prefer to provide movies, pop concerts and competitions. True all inclusive cruises will not charge for admission to any of these, but you do have to check carefully whether all, or some of them, actually are included. This also goes for facilities like gyms and spas.

So are all inclusive cruises a good idea? Well, of course, the answer is that it all depends what you are looking for in a cruise. The big advantage is that you don’t have to worry about anything at all, and you can eat and drink as much as you like and enjoy all the activities without worrying about what anything costs. This can certainly be very liberating on a holiday, and it is certainly especially pleasant for people who particularly want to be worry-free, like honeymooners or pensioners. But is it right for everyone?

The big thing to remember, of course, is that in truly all inclusive cruises the amount you pay initially will be greater. This means that you are actually paying up front for all the alcohol you might drink and all the activities you might take part in when you are on the cruise. So it is only good value if you really want to drink huge amounts of alcohol, or spend all your spare time sitting through lectures or listening to concerts. If you are a total abstainer, or prefer to spend your time reading in your cabin or leaning over the side looking at the water, you have wasted a lot of money.

So the answer is, your own preferences decide whether all inclusive cruises are good value. If you find you have paid for aerobic sessions or Arabic classes you never attend, you have wasted that much money. But if you go for everything that’s offered, enjoy your cruise!
