Disney crusies are relaxing, fun-filled vacations
restful (walk as little or as much as you'd like) less crowds (with only about 4000 people on your boat you will be able to find spaces with fewer people) weather (while there can be rain or waves on cruises, generally the captain tries to avoid bad weather. Plus you can always head inside for a movie, charater greeting, food, or activity) more expensive (although there are deals to be had, generally the Disney cruises are more expensive than a park vacation or cruise with another cruiseline) easy to plan - less planning as you don't have to make restaurant reservations and figure out how much to budget for food - food and soft drinks are included! planned entertainment (you can be as busy or relaxed as you want; there is always a movie on the funnel vision/stateroom tv/theatre, character meet & greet, planned activities like gameshows, deck parties, drawing, trivia, etc.) seasonal offerings - Halloween on the High Seas, Holiday sailings, Marvel cruises, etc. get to see new places - unlike the parks, cruises can take you to new places like the Mediterranean, Alaska, Australia, the Carribean, and more fabulous staff - expect a whole new level of service from the staff like cleaning your room daily, towel animals and chocolate on your pillow at night, friendly staff greeting you everywhere, and wait staff that will quickly know your name and preferences less thrills - my teens would want me to point out that although there are things to do, it is less adrenaline filled
