Welcome aboard, Allison!
Kids or no kids, you will have a blast on a Disney Cruise vacation. Cruising has been a great family vacation option for us, but the amount of adults-only trips on a Disney cruise has dramatically increased -- all because of the quality that everyone expects & enjoys from Disney. If you are a Disney fan, then I can guarantee that you will be floored once you step onboard the Disney Cruise ship. The Broadway-style shows are spectacular and dining onboard is a gastronomic experience. The ship's details are very impressive, and you'll find yourself amazed at how the genius Disney Imagineers brought everything to life. Check out the Youth Clubs (yes, you are welcome to drop in) and the main restaurants -- you will find yourself transported INTO the most popular Disney stories -- simply amazing!
There are a number of cruises to choose from, based on your budget and vacation preferences. Since you are a fellow Californian, are you looking to stay on the west coast? You've got the Alaskan voyages available if you don't mind the cold... the splendor of the sights & sounds of Alaska are a must see in anyone's lifetime. The California Coast voyage is a limited sailing, but still available and that goes from San Diego to Vancouver, Canada.
If you prefer the warm beach weather, then you should check out the cruises that sail to the Bahamas or the Caribbean. You'll have to fly out to the east coast though. The shorter 3-4 night Bahamian cruises on the Disney Dream are great 1st time cruiser voyages. Plus, you get to spend a day at Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. You can play around with the different cruise itineraries on the
