It is a common occurrence that people believe a Disney Cruise is only for kids and families. I am here to debunk that myth today! Not only were there MANY adult couples and friends on the ship, but there are many spaces dedicated to their wants and needs.
| Dining The two specialty dining options onboard are strictly adults only. Remy is a French inspired dining experience. The charge is $75 per person. Palo is a Northern Italian cuisine that delights the palette. The charge is $20 for dinner or brunch. |  Remy onboard the Disney Dream |
 The District on the Disney Dream | The District During the day these venues are all-ages, however each time I walked though I found them to be empty! Once the sun goes down, they become adults-only venues. The District is comprised of 687 (sports bar), Pink (champagne bar), Skyline Lounge (with an ever-changing backdrop of famous cities), Evolution Lounge, and the District Lounge. Select the thumbnails below to view them with descriptions and in a larger size. |
| Quiet Cove Pool This 18-and-older pool area is dedicated to serene relaxation and sunning. The Quiet Cove Pool includes the Cove Bar that has seats in the pool to keep your feet cool on a hot cruising day. There is a 4-foot deep plunge pool and a 6-inch deep sunbathing pool to enjoy out in the open air. Under the canopy you can find two bubbling hot tubs with acrylic floors that give you a view 11-decks down to the sea. |  Quiet Cove Pool (adults only). |
 Captain Jack greeted us as we arrived at Serenity Bay on Castaway Cay. | Serenity Bay at Castaway Cay Disney's private island has so many features to keep a family entertained. However, there is a great place for you if you're traveling sans-children or have yous kids playing at Scuttle's Cove (the supervised kids area on the island). Serenity Bay includes private massage cabanas, Air Bar, and a shaded eating pavilion. While most people can, and will, use the trams to drive them over to this secluded section of the island, my mom and I chose to walk it. I guess we needed to balance out some of the noshing we'd been doing. ;) It took us approximately 20-25 minutes to walk there, but the tram is less than a few minute ride. Either way, you travel along the airstrip. I assume it is used for emergency situations and delivering staples to the island. A tram passed us every couple of minutes and many families on bikes went by as well. |
We found two chairs under and umbrella. It wasn't a particularly sunny day, but that was okay with us. We just wanted to relax. It was quiet and relaxing, just what we were looking for. Bar servers were friendly, but not pushy. I did order two drinks at the air bar from the lone bartender there. I asked for the souvenir coconut mugs. He was very nice and never charged me the extra cost for the souvenirs :)
After a couple of hours we wandered over to the beach bbq. I was, as the trend was on this trip, very impressed with the food options. I must sound like such a pig commenting on food so much, but it truly was delicious. They had burgers, hot dogs, a variety of sausages, mahi-mahi, chicken, couscous, etc. You could definitely eat healthy on this cruise, if that's your sort of thing. I opted to indulge!
After lunch we waded through the water ad came across a sting-ray. we followed him around for a bit and then snapped some pictures of the colorful fish and minnows that circled around our feet. By the time we chose to head back to the ship I had to remind myself that this was a Disney island.
