Disney Cruise Line Treasure: Insider Tips for Parents Only
Parents deserve some relaxation and Disney magic, too! The Disney Treasure offers incredible experiences for adults while the kids are off having their own adventures. Here are some insider tips to ensure parents make the most of their cruise:
1. Take Advantage of the Kids’ Clubs
The Oceaneer Club (ages 3–12), Edge (11–14), and Vibe (14–17) are open late and free for kids. This gives parents a perfect opportunity to enjoy the adults-only spaces without worrying about the little ones. Consider dropping kids off at dinner time and book a Palo Steakhouse reservation. Parents can enjoy an upscale, quiet meal while kids have a blast in their clubs.
2. Visit the Adults-Only Quiet Cove
The Quiet Cove area is a serene, adults-only escape with an infinity pool, whirlpools, and a relaxing bar. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some peace while the kids are busy.
Pro Tip: Head there in the morning for fewer crowds and a great coffee from Cove Café—their specialty lattes and pastries are worth it!
3. Treat Yourself at Senses Spa
The Senses Spa is an oasis onboard the Disney Treasure, offering massages, facials, and the ultimate relaxation: the Rainforest Room. Purchase a Rainforest Room day pass early—it includes access to heated loungers, aromatic steam rooms, and tropical showers. It’s the perfect midday escape.
4. Enjoy the Hero Zone Together
While Hero Zone is great for kids, parents will love bonding with their families over activities like Incredi-Games—obstacle courses with inflatables that are fun for all ages. Parents- Join in! This is an easy way for parents to let loose, laugh, and create family memories.
5. Go All-In on Pirate Night
Pirate Night is a hit for kids, but parents can make it extra special. Pack pirate costumes or accessories for the whole family—it’s a Disney Cruise tradition, and the deck party is even more fun when everyone’s dressed up!
Insider Tip: Don’t worry if you’ve forgotten your pirate gear, Disney provides free pirate bandanas!
6. Book a Private Cabana on Castaway Cay
For parents looking for true relaxation on Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, book a private cabana. These shaded retreats offer loungers, snacks, a cooler with drinks, and direct beach access. Cabanas book up quickly—so make sure to reserve them as soon as their booking window opens.
7. Sneak Away for Nighttime Entertainment
After the kids are settled in the youth clubs or their staterooms, parents can enjoy the adults-only lounges.
- Haunted Mansion Parlor: Perfect for spooky cocktails and fun ambiance.
- Skipper Society: A Jungle Cruise-inspired lounge with tropical drinks and witty vibes.
Insider Tip: Ask the bartenders for their signature cocktails—Disney Cruise bartenders often have creative, off-menu specialties.
8. Enjoy Movie Nights Under the Stars
While the kids wind down, parents can enjoy a relaxing evening watching Disney movies on the pool deck under the stars. Pair it with a drink or a late-night snack from Festival of Foods for the perfect end to the day.
9. Capture the Memories with Professional Photos
Disney Cruise Line photographers are stationed throughout the ship to capture beautiful family moments, whether it’s formal night, pirate night, or casual shots in the Grand Hall. Parents can purchase a photo package in advance for the best deal—perfect for capturing lifelong memories without the stress of taking photos yourself.
10. Don’t Miss the Adult-Exclusive Dining
Dining at Palo Steakhouse or relaxing with small bites at Enchanté are culinary highlights for parents looking for an elevated experience.
