Disney Cruise Line was the first cruise line to…
• Have a fireworks display at sea, like only Disney can do, a stunning entertainment element for the “Pirates IN the Caribbean” celebration.
• Implement an innovative rotational dining concept, featuring three themed restaurants, where guests dine in a different venue each evening, accompanied by their same serving team
• Have a dock at the line’s private island (Castaway Cay), allowing guests the ease of walking on and off the ship at their leisure, thus eliminating the need to use tender boats.
• Have a shipboard water coaster – AquaDuck – on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.
• Give inside staterooms a “window” on the outside with a Magical Porthole, a wall-mounted monitor that displays real-time video views from high-definition cameras outside of the ship.
• Allow guests to become animators in Animator’s Palate and see their own drawings magically come to life and dance on screen.
• Make the princess and pirate fantasies of young guests a reality, giving them full pixie-dusted and piratical makeovers at the first Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and Pirates League at sea.
• Offer movie premieres at sea on the same day a film debuts in theaters – including films in Disney Digital 3-D.
• Feature nearly an entire deck dedicated to children’s activities. From Flounder’s Reef and It’s a Small World Nursery to the Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab, kids from 12 weeks to 12 years have plenty of places to take their imaginations to new levels.
• Offer exclusive spaces just for tweens and teens. 11-13 year olds can hang out at Edge, while 14-17 year olds have their own club, Vibe.
• Offer free soft drinks any time of day or night, with a free 24/7 beverage station offering sodas, coffee, tea and water.
• Design staterooms with a family-friendly split bathroom.
• Have an animated character as the godmother of a ship. Tinker Bell is the godmother of the Disney Wonder.
• Have a Disney attraction at sea, AquaMouse. Complete with show scenes, lighting and special effects, and splashtacular surprises, this first-of-its-kind water ride sends guests on a fun family adventure through 760 feet of winding tubes suspended high above the upper decks.
• Have a first-of-its-kind accommodation set high in the forward funnel on the Disney Wish, the Wish Tower Suite.
• Offer guests the first Marvel cinematic dining adventure (Worlds of Marvel) and the first “Frozen”-themed theatrical dining experience (Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure) – both on the Disney Wish.
• Apply a hull coating that is non-toxic and innovative in reducing surface resistance in the water, allowing the ship to be more fuel efficient and eco-friendly.
• Have yellow-colored lifeboats, rather than the traditional regulation color of orange. Disney was granted special permission by the U.S. Coast Guard to paint the lifeboats yellow, in order to keep with the special color theming of the ship – the colors of Mickey Mouse himself.
