Honest responses please: Would a childless couple enjoy the Disney Cruise...

[Drfate102]

We are a married couple for 16 years and we do not have children. We have done 9 Disney Cruises and have two more booked. Loved the Treasure over the Wish, my favorite ship is the Wonder and my wife's is the Fantasy. We have had great times every cruise but we are into Disney, first date was at EPCOT, I proposed at the Magic Kingdom and we did our Honeymoon at Disneyland and for my 50th Birthday we went to Disneyland Paris and are looking at Tokyo. We are Disney World Annual Passholders, DVC members and D23 members. We have been talking about borrowing our niece and nephew and take them on a cruise so we can see what it is like to take children on a Disney Cruise.

My DH and I (no kids) did our first Disney cruise in 1999 and did five more through 2003. At that point, we started branching out and have largely stuck to Celebrity, Princess, NCL Haven and expedition ships in the two decades since.

With that said, we're sailing on the Disney Treasure in September. The lure of the Haunted Mansion Parlor was too much. We loved DCL as kid-free adults in our late 20s. I suspect we'll still love it in as kid-free adults in our 50s.

If you dont have children but can afford the prices of a disney cruise then dont do a cruise at all and go and explore the world. Do italy, new york, hike the alps, go to egypt, tropical island, anything else. If you love disney theme parks go to tokyo or shanghai disney.

I only do the cruise cos kids love disney, the aesthetics of the ships are nice and the cruises give parents free time from the kids. But lets face it, the food is awful outside the upcharge restaurant (and they arent great just ok), the pools are tiny and completely unenjoyable, the cruise activities are lame, the shows are great but short and targetted at a childs mind, which you can appreciate and enjoy as a parent but probsbly not without kids.

If i didnt have kids i wouldnt waste my annual leave on it compared to all the other options for childless adults
