25th Wedding Anniversary on a Disney Cruise

[tink2007]

So my husband and I are celebrating out 25th this year and we want to go on a cruise. I feel kinda silly wanting to go on a Disney cruise but my husband and I are not party people. We don't even drink. We both LOVE all things Disney.
Do couples go on Disney cruises? Can anyone tell me of their couples experience and recommendations.
I am running the Tower of Terror 10 Miler on October 5th and our cruise leaves October 6th.

Plenty of couples cruise DCL. DH and I have no children and have been on 3 cruises, with 4 more booked. I like relaxing at the adult pool, catching a movie or two, and visiting the adult only clubs/bars. Many activities are for all ages and no one will care whether you are just a couple.

My husband and I did our 40th anniversary last year on Alaska. It was awesome. We had thought of renewing our vows, taking the kids, taking the grandkids, etc. We ended up taking two of the kids and we had a great time.

Do it you'll love it

 

[Justacruiser]

love the cruises and yes my DW and I go alone and often.

The great thing about cruising is that you can be as involved in activities on board as you want too. You can wake up early and do things till close to midnight every night. My DW and I don't drink, dance or gamble. So, that leaves Disney Cruise Line for us. And by the way, we spent our 25th and most recent our 27th on board last year.

Any specific questions, let me know. This is the forum to get any and all your questions answered.

Only about 3.5 months!!!!

Our parents just had their 45th anniversary, and they are taking us all (all being my sister and me - 36 and 41) on the Dream in a couple of weeks! Have a blast!!

Our first, second and third DCL cruises were just DH and me. Our last DCL cruise started out as DH & me. We added DHs mom and her DH. Then DHs sister called and asked if she and her hubby could come along.

There are adult only areas onboard. And, in our experience, they are very good about enforcing them.

Congratulations on your anniversary!! We celebrated our 20th anniversary on DCL--our kids were along, but we got separate cabins. It was a great place to celebrate an anniversary--fun entertainment, great food, beautiful locations. I think there are lots of reasons to choose DCL!

Plenty of anniversaries here, and nothing silly about it!

None of us 'kids' have kids, so on our 4/11/13 Disney Dream, we had 7 adults to celebrate with Mom & Dad for their 45th anniversary in a few months and our 10th anniversary in a few weeks.

We are like you, we don't need the boozey cruisies that we are so over (many times been there, done that) and don't care for thongs on the main stage either or casinos.

Everything you love about the parks is transferred to cruising in it's own way. Just like you see many honeymooners/anniversaries in the parks (because there is SO much to offer from thrill rides to amazing dining experiences etc), that is how it is on the ships.

And anyway, Royal Caribbean & Carnival both have as many kids as the DC ships do. At least these ones are such cute princesses and lil peter pans and pirates. I enjoyed almost all of them sincerely! The emphasis is on families and G-PG rated entertainment, which is FINE for us! There are adult only areas (but we didn't do much there, because we had a veranda of our own!) and we chose late dining seating, which we will always choose from here on out, as it is very relaxed and tends to have less lil ones anyway.

It is a SUPERB experience. I still carry my DCL Happy Anniversary with Mickey & Minnie celebration pin on my purse.

In fact, next year's anniversaries might get booked here soon for the Disney Magic...

Nothing silly about it!

We are on the fantasy in September to celebrate our 40 anniversary. Going with my DB and DSIL who celebrate their 40 also. Cannot wait.

Two of our DCL cruises were with extended family. The other four have been just DH and moi. We don't drink or gamble either, tho I've been known to order a non-alcoholic pina colada.

You will most likely be assigned to share a dinner table with other adult couples -- most of them are fun to talk to, tho we were assigned a table with an overbearing diva on one cruise. If you're an introvert, you could phone DCL and ask for your own table, but they won't guarantee it.

We are celebrating our 25th onboard very soon - our children are coming but we'd have chosen the exact same holiday to celebrate even if they weren't and will be booking our first 'sans kids' cruise whilst onboard.

Enjoy your planning.

We just celebrated our 25th this past May on the Fantasy and had a wonderful time without the children. My DW was apprehensive about doing a cruise without the children, but once the experience begins she could not have been more happy. We did request a table by ourselves to have some intimate meals, but luckily we were seated with two other awesome couples that we enjoyed immensely. There was plenty to keep us occupied and we enjoyed the shows, night clubs and relaxing in the adult areas of the pool. We had such a good time we almost booked another cruise while on board, but decided we needed more time to think it through. I am sure you guys will have a outstanding time.

My husband and I were married on the Disney Cruise and we still do not have children and have been on 6 cruises since then. As an agent about 1/4 of my clients who book are couples with no children!

The service and quality on DCL is unrivaled, in my opinion. U won't have any regrets. If u r on the dream or fantasy, definitely do remy and palo. So good!!

DW and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary on the fantasy in August. We are not bringing our kids with us either. This is our 2nd cruise. Our first was 25 years ago on the big red boat before we had kids. So we were on 2 Disney cruises, neither with kids. Feeling guilty...but not too guilty. Lol. ☺

 

[Jenntx]

We are taking our first ever cruise on the Dream for four night in Dec. No kids & it's for our 18th anniversary. We are excited & of course we would choose no other CL bc we love Disney!!
PLUS we received lots of recommendation from family & friends that DCL is the best cruise line they have ever been on.

DH & I have been on 3 Disney cruises, celebrated our 30th last year. You will be surprised of how many couples cruise on Disney. We have met up with some wonderful people. On our last cruise on the Fantasy, our tablemates and us booked another cruise together.
Castaway Cay has their own 5K run if you want to do that. I also recommend looking on DIS cruise meet board for your cruise. It is a great way to ask questions and meet up with your fellow cruisers.
Enjoy! Will always book Disney over other cruise line if I can!

Our 25th is coming up in 2015, but instead of the cruise, we will opt for a limo to the Grand Floridian and dinner at Victoria & Albert's. A Disney cruise sounds like an awesome way to celebrate your anniversary, especially if it's sans kids. We are doing the Fantasy this December and plan on the Wonder in Alaska next year, so since we have never been to V&A's, that's what we've decided on.

BTW, I ran the OUC Orlando Half Marathon the morning of our most recent cruise on the Magic and it's a really great way to recover from your race and quite a motivation in the last couple miles of the race. Good luck on the 10 miler!

Took our first cruise in '11 with 3 cabins, kids and in-laws. Taking another cruise in 95 days with 2 of the kids. I'm trying to dwindle us down so that in the next few years, it'll be JUST hubs and I. We loved our first cruise, and all I could think was "Wouldn't it be nice to sit in the adult pool area? Wouldn't it be nice to sit on the beach with hubs? Wouldn't it be nice to watch a show with just hubs?...SO MUCH to do, you won't be sorry!

And hopefully, one day, I'll celebrate an anniversary with JUST my hubs and me...

Yep DH and I go, no kids needed! I believe (if your sailing this oct on the fantasy) I'll be getting off her just before you board! We will be celebrating our 5th anniversary. It will be exactly 5 years to the date from the first time we stepped onboard (the Wonder)! Make sure you go to the adults activities at night (most held in the club called The Tube) it is fun and definitely adult themed! Even though you say your not party people I suggest getting some pirate flare! Dress up in it, you will feel great, like a kid again!
