Sightseeing with Sarah- Disney
cruise Line
| Have you ever been on a
cruise? Have you ever been on a Disney cruise? Well I was on
a three day weekend cruise with my family and some of their
friends. Some fun facts about the Disney ships: There are
two of them, the Wonder and the Magic. The
length of the two ships is 964 feet and the width is 106
feet. The weight of the anchor is a whopping 14 tons! There
are 945 crew members. And finally, the stern of the Magic
has goofy painting, while Donald Duck and his nephew Huey
are painting the stern of the Wonder. The two cruises
go from three all the way to fourteen nights for next years
European Itineraries. |

| Depending on how many nights
your Disney cruise is, you go to different islands. Those
islands are Castaway Cay (which is an island that is owned
by Disney), Nassau, St. Maarten, St. Thomas/St. John, Key
West, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. The cruise I went on was
the Wonder. We went to Castaway Cay and Nassau. My
favorite island we went to was definitely Castaway Cay. They
had great beaches to swim in, good food, and plenty of ice
cream!! |

| On board, there are so many
activities to do. There are two different kids clubs. One is
the Oceaneer Club which is for ages 3-7, and the Oceaneer
Lab, which is for ages 8-12. There is also a teen club for
ages 13-17. There they have movies, music, video games,
internet access, a bar with virgin daiquiris and sodas,
plasma screen TV’s, and a lounge area with magazines. On
deck, they also have three pools. The Mickey pool, which is
for kids and has a curvy slide, they also have the Goofy
pool which is known as the family pool. One neat thing about
this pool is that they can pull out the deck and cover it up
so when they have parties, there is more dancing room!
Finally, they have the Quiet Cove Pool which is and adult
only pool. |

| On board they have two
different theaters. One is for musicals they have. My
favorite performance was Hercules the Muse-ical. It was so
hilarious! That is the Walt Disney Theater. They also have
the Buena Vista Theater which is the typical movie theater.
When I was there, they were showing the following movies,
Cars, Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and
Invincible. And for one day only, they had The
Guardian playing. It was such a great movie, but it was
very sad. |

| For the adults, they have an
adult only restaurant, Palo. My mom and dad ate there
and they said they have excellent food. They also have a bar
called Cadillac Lounge. They have a pianist that does sing-alongs.
They have another bar like it that is called Sessions.
Another place for adults is the Vista Spa and Salon. Here,
you can get your teeth whitened, a manicure and pedicure,
facial, hair cut, and many other spa amenities. At the spa,
they also have four different packages for thirteen and
seventeen year olds. I got the “Princess Hands and Feet”.
That is a manicure and pedicure. When I was done, I got to
pick out two nail polish colors, and I got exfoliating scrub
for my hands and feet. I loved it. |
 |
| One very cool
thing that families of all ages can take part of is the deck
parties. One very cool one is the sail away party. Once we
leave from Port Canaveral, there is a huge deck party!! It
is so much fun! All the characters come out and start
dancing. I hope to see you on my next travel destination!!
Sarah is a thirteen year old
travel writer, and the daughter of Rick and Leslie Howard
owners of Kingdom Magic Vacations.
