Disney
Cruise Line "Firsts"

Disney
Cruise Line® was
the first cruise line…
| With 25% larger staterooms that include a
family friendly bath-and-a-half. | |
| To implement an innovative rotation dining
concept, featuring three themed restaurants, where guests rotate to a
different restaurant each evening, all the while keeping their same servers
and tablemates. | |
| To have a dock at the line's private island Castaway
Cay, allowing guests the ease of walking on and off the ship at
their leisure, thus eliminating the need to use tender boats for
transporting guests back and forth to the island. | |
| To have a firework display at sea, creating
the perfect “kiss goodnight” for our Pirates in the Caribbean
celebration. | |
| To offer movie premieres at sea where the
night the movie debuts in theaters across the U.S., guests have the
opportunity to see the premiere at sea onboard the ship. | |
| With almost an entire deck dedicated to
children’s areas and activities. From Flounder’s Reef Nursery
to the Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Disney’s
Oceaneer Lab, kids from 12 weeks to 12 years have plenty of areas
and activities to take their imaginations to new levels. | |
| To offer a dedicated space just for teens.
13-17 year olds can hangout aboard the Disney Magic® at The
Stack, while teens aboard the Disney Wonder® hang
at Aloft, both high atop each ship on deck 11 in the (faux)
funnel. | |
| To apply a hull coating that is both
non-toxic and innovative in reducing surface resistance in the water,
allowing the ship to be more fuel efficient while sailing, in addition to
being eco-friendly. | |
| To dedicate three days of shoreside training
on safety and traditions for all new crew members prior to them embarking
the ship. | |
| To have yellow colored lifeboats, rather
than the traditional regulation color of orange. Disney was granted special
permission by the U.S. Coast Guard to paint the lifeboats yellow, in order
to keep with the special color theming of the ship -- the colors of Mickey
Mouse himself. | |
| To offer a free soda program, allowing
guests to have access to a 24/7 beverage station offering soda, coffee, tea
and water. | |
| With no casinos onboard, which created even
more space to dedicate to families, as well as age-specific areas for
everyone to enjoy. | |
| To have an animated character as the
Godmother of a ship. Tinkerbell is the Godmother of the Disney
Wonder. |
