Welcome aboard, Charlotte! Setting sail with Disney Cruise Line is the perfect vacation for families with teenagers. Mom and Dad can have their own adult time, the teens get to have their own space and activities onboard, and of course there is lots of time for the whole family together.
If it's teens you're sailing with, my top two ship recommendations would be the Dream or the Fantasy, as both of those have the largest, most exciting teen clubs onboard, which even include their own sundeck and splash pool! Smoothie hours, snacks, teen only hangouts and games, meeting others their own age, what more could these teens want? Check out
Vibe on the Dream and
Vibe on the Fantasy. Your teens would be in absolute heaven in these fun spaces. I wish I could have enjoyed spots like these at sea when I was a teenager!
As for itineraries, the Dream and Fantasy offer different sailings. The Dream sails three and four night cruises to the Bahamas, while the Fantasy offers seven-night sailings to the Western or Eastern Caribbean. My advice is to decide on a budget and then play around with the
Find A Cruise page of Disney Cruise Line's website to see which sailing best fits your needs and budget. You can't go wrong with any of their itineraries, and since both ships' itineraries offer a visit to Castaway Cay, you get even more for your money! Castaway Cay is Disney's private island, only accessible by Disney cruise guests. It even has its own teen hideout on the beach!
Have fun planning, Charlotte! Stop back again if you have other questions!
