CRUISE LINE PROFILE: Disney Cruise Line

When it comes to family fun at sea, Disney excels. From age-specific supervised children's programs to rotating dining in different dining rooms so the kids never get bored, Disney Cruise Line works to make life easy for parents.

Multi-generational families and even couples will appreciate the two separate bathroom compartments in each cabin or suite. Adults also have their own spectacular venues onboard and on Castaway Cay. So despite the presence of 900 or more kids on many cruises, the cruise experience can be a positive one for the entire family. Cruise expert Georgina Cruz looks at the world of cruising with Disney.

And presto, Mickey waved his wand and the result is a fresh, revitalized ship. Come along with professional cruise writer and editor Linda Coffman, known to many as the Cruise Diva as she inspects the Disney Magic.
