My husband and I love to travel, but we often struggle if we should take our kids with us or not. Fact of the matter is, we love our alone time, but after a few days or even a few hours we start missing them. That is why we discovered that Disney cruises are the best for spending time as a family but getting that very needed date night or time away from the kids.
All of the Disney ships (Disney Magic, Wonder, Dream and Fantasy) ALL have an adult area of the ship. That means no kid under the age of 18 can go in. With that said, my personal favorite area is the Quiet Cove Pool area. There is a very nice tranquil pool and bar called Cove Cafe. My husband and I particularly loved their drink specials like two for one margaritas or Pina Coladas. It was nice just sitting relaxing and talking to each other about non-kid things for a few hours while the kids were in the youth clubs.
Another place my husband I frequent is the fitness center. I am big on exercise and with all the food I eat on the cruise exercising daily for me is essential. My husband is in the same "boat" and we like to do at least 30 -45 mins of cardio each day. Staying in the same shape as when we first boarded ship is quite important to us and from what we saw pretty important to other guests too! The fitness centers are located in the spa area and over look the ocean. Imagine taking a jog on the treadmill while listening to music and staring out at the ocean.
Here are some highlights of the spa:
- Comfortable waiting areas
- Showers
- Lockers
- Slippers and robes for use during your treatment
- Men's and women's changing rooms
- Massage rooms
- Sauna
- Beauty products
For my husband and I the adult dining is a must every time we cruise. Palo is an adult dining that features Italian cuisine and the service and food quality is 5-star in my opinion. I suggest making reservations prior to the trip when you do your online check-in and you do it when booking your port adventures and spa reservations online. You can do it upon boarding ship, but the date and time you want to dine may not be available. The very first time we dined at Palo we were blown away. Although eating there is not included in the cost of the trip, it is only an extra $25 for either dinner or brunch. Note that wine and alcoholic beverages are an additional cost. See more information here about Palo. I have haven't had the opportunity to dine at Remy yet, but our next cruise I think we will! |
