DD was 7 when we first went on a Disney cruise. Then we started cruising DCL every other year with onboard bookings. I was thrilled when she was 18 so we could experience Palo brunch for the first time. DD is 21 now and she was old enough to accompany me to a champagme tasting this past January on the Magic. Whenever I ask if we should try another cruise line for less money or longer cruise, she would always reply, “what’s the point of going on a cruise if it’s not Disney?” I think we are equally excited to be on a cruise and sailing with the Disney crew. We are actually more exited to see Mickey, Minnie, and Stitch, (just to name a few of our favourites) than going on a particular itinerary. I think DCL gives us what we love: Disney and cruising. We are paying a higher price for the premium. I can easily spend the whole day just lining up to hug my favourite characters.
I would definitely do a Disney cruise with no kids, but I can’t imagine what fun and excitement I would have when I get to go on a Disney cruise with my grandkids!
