How our Bliss Filters work
Disney Treasure’s base fare bundles more than most mainstream cruise lines. Expect rotational main‑dining restaurants, the buffet/casual venues, soft drinks at meals, selected non‑alcoholic beverages (such as basic coffee/tea), most entertainment, pools and water play, and broad kids and family programming.
Disney’s youth programming is a core part of the value proposition. Kids clubs and supervised activities are included, and the ship’s schedule is packed with family events, games, movie screenings, and character greetings. Families who plan to spend a lot of time in those spaces tend to feel they’re getting meaningful value from the fare.
Shore excursions, specialty dining, adult beverages, specialty coffee, spa services, photos, and internet packages typically cost extra. Many families also budget for souvenirs, specialty desserts, and occasional “treat” experiences that are easy to say yes to once you’re on board.
Disney Treasure uses Disney Cruise Line’s rotational dining system: you rotate through a set of main restaurants while your serving team follows you. On this ship, the rotational venues include Plaza de Coco (a two‑night dining experience inspired by Coco), Worlds of Marvel, and 1923. For families, the advantage is simple — you get variety without having to re‑learn a new dining routine every night.
Plaza de Coco is designed as a theatrical dining experience, with live entertainment and menus inspired by Mexican flavors. It’s built to feel like a special event rather than a standard cruise dining room, which helps explain why many guests put it on the “don’t miss” list.
Worlds of Marvel blends interactive elements and Marvel theming with a menu that aims to be approachable for mixed groups (kids, picky eaters, and adventurous adults at the same table).
1923, named for the year The Walt Disney Company was founded, is the ship’s more classic, elegant main‑dining option — a good choice for nights when you want a calmer meal and a more traditional dining‑room rhythm.
For adults looking for a splurge, Disney Treasure features Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement. These are intentionally more refined, with service and presentation closer to land‑based fine dining.
Casual dining fills the gaps between scheduled meals. The ship has multiple grab‑and‑go or quick‑service options to support pool days and late afternoons, and Disney typically schedules food availability to match the flow of activities rather than forcing everyone into a narrow dining window.
Disney Treasure’s accommodations are designed for families first: most rooms emphasize smart storage, flexible sleeping arrangements, and bathrooms that work for multiple people getting ready at once. Expect the familiar Disney approach of thoughtful details (subtle theming, family‑friendly layouts) rather than the ultra‑minimalist look seen on some contemporary ships.
Standard stateroom categories include inside, oceanview, and veranda cabins, with concierge‑level rooms and larger suites for guests who want premium service and more space. If you’re traveling with kids, pay attention to sleeping configurations — some categories work best for three or four guests due to pull‑down beds or sofa beds, and it’s worth selecting a room type that minimizes nightly set‑up.
For many families, the best value tends to be a veranda stateroom: It gives you a private outdoor perch for sunrise, quiet breaks, and those moments when a child needs downtime while the rest of the family resets. Concierge can be a meaningful upgrade if you value priority boarding, lounge access, and extra support for reservations and planning.
Disney Treasure is built around continuous activity cycles. During the day, the ship’s family hubs and pool areas run like an all‑ages playground with scheduled games, dance parties, trivia, crafts, and pop‑up character moments. The goal is to create multiple “easy yes” options at any given hour, so families can follow their energy rather than a rigid plan.
One signature draw is the AquaMouse attraction, a water‑coaster style experience that blends ride elements with Disney storytelling. It’s a headline activity that tends to build lines, so treat it like you would a popular theme park ride: go early, go during dinner, or go on a port day if your family’s schedule allows.
Kids clubs and youth spaces are a major differentiator. They’re not just supervised playrooms — they’re designed experiences with themed environments and structured programming. For younger guests, Disney Treasure offers dedicated spaces like the Oceaneer Club, where children can engage in interactive activities themed around popular Disney stories. Teens have their own exclusive hangout spots, ensuring that guests of all ages have tailored experiences that cater to their interests.
Adults have their own track of activities, from tastings and lounge programming to quieter deck areas and spa time. The Haunted Mansion Parlor, an adults‑only lounge inspired by the classic attraction, is one of the ship’s most talked‑about venues and can become a destination in its own right. Another popular venue is the Skipper Society lounge, which draws inspiration from the Jungle Cruise, providing a whimsical setting for relaxation.
Finally, the Hero Zone, a futuristic sports arena, blends physical activity with imagination, offering highly produced show experiences in addition to free-play sports.
Expect Disney’s hallmark production quality. The Walt Disney Theatre is designed for large‑scale stage shows, and Disney Cruise Line typically schedules multiple performances so families can pick times that fit around dining and early bedtimes.
Beyond the theater, entertainment is layered throughout the ship: live music in lounges, deck parties, movie screenings (including Disney titles), and character interactions that feel staged but still surprisingly personal — especially for kids who have been waiting for that moment.
Evening entertainment often becomes a bit of choose your own adventure: A family can do an early show, a late dessert, and a deck stroll; adults can pivot to lounges and late‑night venues. The ship’s strength is that you rarely have to commit to one format for the whole evening.
Disney Treasure is casual by design. During the day, resort wear is the norm — especially on Caribbean itineraries where the ship’s rhythm is pool, excursions, and sun. Comfortable shoes and sun protection matter more than style.
Evenings range from casual to “cruise smart casual,” with families often dressing up a bit for photos and dinner. If your sailing includes themed nights (which Disney frequently schedules on certain itineraries), many guests participate — but it’s optional. You can dress up, dress lightly, or do a mix depending on your group.
Disney Treasure is a premium‑priced family cruise, and the onboard environment makes it easy to spend more. Budget in advance for at least a few extras — specialty coffees, adult beverages, specialty dining, spa treatments, photos — and decide what you want to say yes to before you’re standing in front of it.
Crowd management is the main practical challenge on a ship this popular. Character lines, headline attractions, and certain lounges can fill quickly. The best strategy is to treat your first day like planning day: study the app schedule, decide on two or three “must‑dos” daily, and build the rest of your time around them.
If you’re an experienced cruiser used to quieter ships, the constant activity can feel intense. The antidote is simple: Carve out a daily downtime window (late afternoon works well) and use adult‑only areas or your stateroom veranda to reset.
Most alcohol, specialty coffee and smoothies, bottled water packages, spa services, specialty dining (such as Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté), shore excursions, professional photos, and Internet packages are extra‑cost items.
Gratuities and onboard service charges can vary by itinerary and booking terms, and many families choose to prepay or plan for them as part of the trip budget. It’s also common to budget for port‑day spending (beach clubs, taxis, local tours) beyond what’s built into the fare.
