I first sailed on Disney Cruise Line in 2003, reluctantly, on assignment, choosing the shortest possible sailing and contemplating my chances of survival if I jumped from one of the less ominous lower decks.
After all, I was (and still am) a gay, (arguably) adult man on a premier family ship. I pictured days at sea without escape from hordes of little moppets hyped up on sugar and free ice cream, running amok from deck to deck.
I just thought it wouldn’t be my scene. Disney Wish, the cruiseline's newest ship. I was wrong. Not only was it exactly my scene, I found a whopping number of adult-only venues and activities on the ships.
Disney Cruise Line does a fantastic job of offering all age groups their own, age-appropriate diversions. I was delighted by the adult-only pool, gym, nightclubs, restaurant, and coffee bar, and impressed with the variety of dedicated spaces for kids, teens, and tweens.
