In today's environment, our (my wife Deborah and I) ideal cruise ship is the
Disney Magic. It is a modern ship but with a somewhat old world flair and
design. The two stack emphasis is meant to help capture the look of the
ships of yesteryear, but only one stack is really functional, the other used
to house the Teen Center. Likewise, Disney offers unique rotational dining,
with a different dining room each night, but with the same table mates and
waiter service. In addition, one can opt for the specialty restaurant, no
kids allowed, optional dining for an additional fee.
And speaking of kids, some threads made a point of emphasizing that their
ideal ship would be one without kids. Naturally, one would think that any
Disney ship would be full of kids, after all, this is Disney. While true to
a degree, it was surprising that the kids programs were so well organized
that the kids were not a bother at all. In fact, we encounter far more
problems and noise with kids on other cruise lines and other ships than on
the Disney Magic, with the others even having fewer kids aboard. The ironic
things about it is that we don't even have kids, but opted for Disney
anyway. We did not regret it.
Likewise, there are plenty of places on the ships, including one of the
pools, were kids are not allowed. This makes very quite places for the
adults, but still plenty of places for the kids and families to do their
thing as well.
Happy sailing...
