Disney Cruise Line Adult Activities & Entertainment

Mention the word "Disney" to most people and the first word that comes to mind is "children". Happily, Disney Cruise Line recognizes that adults need their own cruise experience. They have designed the ship and activities so that adults have their own exclusive sections to enjoy.

Guests age 18 and older can start their day at the Cove cafe with a coffee specialty drink, swim in the adult pool, relax in one of the whirlpools, visit the Spa and they can end the day at any of the Night Club venues in the adult entertainment district.

DCL Activities & Entertainment

Here are a few of the "adults-only" amenities that Disney Cruise Line provides:

  • The Cove -  This pool and surrounding area is adults only, ages 18 and up, located on Deck 9 on the Wonder and Magic, Deck 11 on the Dream. There are two oversized whirlpool spas at one end of the pool making this the perfect spot to relax. On the Wonder there are cascading waterfalls into the pool. On both the Magic and Wonder, Signals, the poolside bar, is a great place to get the cocktail of the day or other tropical libation.  On the Dream, the Cove Bar is an elegant swim-up bar.  Enjoy your cocktails without even getting out of the water!
  • Palo - Adults-only restaurant (covered in dining section) on Deck 10 Disney Wonder and Magic, Deck 12 on Disney Dream
  • Serenity Bay - A separate, private adults-only beach on Castaway Cay (covered in Castaway Cay section)
  • Night Clubs on the Disney Wonder and Magic- Beat Street on the Magic and Route 66 on the Wonder adults-only entertainment areas.
  • Night Clubs on the Disney Dream- Evolution Lounge, Meridian Bar, Pink, Skyline.
  • The Cove Cafe - on Deck 9 Disney Wonder and Magic, Deck 11 on Disney Dream. The Cove Cafe is exclusive to adult guests 18 years of age and older and offers specialty coffees and drinks. This coffee bar is only accessible via the adult pool area located deck 9 forward. Beautifully decorated in the Art Deco style, The Cove Cafe is inviting and warm. While the large screen TV and Wurlitzer jukebox may have you thinking "loud" it's actually a quiet retreat. It's the perfect spot to order a coffee specialty drink and to use wireless internet.
The 7-day cruise on the Disney Magic is chock full of other activities and special programming just for adults. For the 7-day cruise, three programming "tracks" are offered with special presentations throughout the cruise:
  • The Art of Entertaining - Learn the art of gracious entertaining, from creating a menu of innovative culinary creations and pairing wines with meals, to designing professional-looking invitations and party decor.
  • Disney Behind the Scenes -- See the innovation behind the magic as experts lead you "backstage," where they will uncover what's behind the curtain of the Walt Disney Theatre, what the captain views from atop the bridge and what's cooking behind galley doors. From film buffs and amateur animators to admirers of architecture and broadcasting, everyone who's ever had an interest in the wonderful world of Disney will enjoy hearing about Disney projects through the years and across the globe.

  • Navigating the Seas -- Learn what unique techniques were used in creating the Disney Cruise ships, as well as how these floating resorts operate.
Adults can also choose from a variety of other daytime activities and presentations. While activities may vary, here's a sampling of the offerings on the Disney Wonder and Magic:
  • Wines of the World Cellar Master Presentation
  • Beer Tasting (4 & 7 Day Cruises)

  • Volleyball games and tournaments

  • Stem to Stern Wine Tasting: $12/person
    If a casual overview of wine tasting is what you're looking for, then the Stem to Stern Wine Tasting seminar is definitely for you. An excellent addition to the adult entertainment series onboard the Disney Cruise Line, this session is perfect for both the experienced and amateur wine gourmands. For one hour the Disney Cruise Line's sommelier (trained wine experts) walk you through tasting 5 wines and one sparkling wine or Champagne.

Diversions (on both the Magic and Wonder)

Diversions is the perfect place for adult cruisers to enjoy a cocktail, play games and enjoy a televised sporting event on one of the many large screen TVs located throughout.
