44 Disney Cruise Hacks You Need to Know Before Setting Sail

On the Disney Fantasy, 14-17 year olds have access to Vibe, a lounge with a private movie theater, private video game pods, free soda and smoothies, their own pool and deck, special programs like cooking classes, and even a program that allows kids to work on a short film throughout the week and premiere it at the end of the cruise.

Parents are not allowed in this part of the ship — they can only pick up their kids from the entrance. There are plenty of counselors to keep an eye on things, but overall the set up is great for independent kids who want to do their own thing, and parents who want to feel comfortable leaving their children to their own devices for the day or for a few hours. Check out more information on D Lounge, Edge, Vibe, and other cruise ship places and events for younger guests.
