Welcome aboard, Kevin! I have the confetti cued up and my party hat on because I know for a fact that Disney Cruise Line loves to celebrate birthdays!
I'll assume you're talking about your birthday, but if not, the same tips apply! I recently celebrated my birthday on the Disney Wish and my son's birthday last winter on the Disney Dream. Just between us, Kevin, I like to celebrate the entire cruise, not just one day! I recommend stopping by Guest Services and picking up a complimentary “Happy Birthday” button to wear throughout your voyage.
Also,
make sure the birthday is noted on your reservation. Under Special Requests, select Celebrations to note the special day. Your servers usually ask what day you want to celebrate your birthday in the dining room. While nothing is guaranteed, they usually sing and bring out a special dessert.
You can also purchase a birthday stateroom décor package from
Onboard Gifts. My mother-in-law ordered the Celebrate Today Birthday Décor package for me. It was fun to enter our stateroom and see it decorated. The banners fold up, and you can take them home and celebrate every birthday Disney-style.
For a special adult-exclusive dining experience,
Palo is my top choice, especially for celebrating a birthday. The intimate setting with ocean views creates a perfect atmosphere to toast to a new year. I lean towards brunch, which features a delightful selection of pastries, antipasto platters, and a diverse menu offering lunch and breakfast items. But dinner is also lovely!
There’s no better way to celebrate a birthday than with Captain Mickey, surrounded by the magic of Disney at sea. Thank you for stopping by planDisney and letting me be a small part of your special day. Let the birthday fun begin!
SEAS the adventure!
