Disney Cruise Line: It's all in the Details

Disney Cruise Line:  It's all in the details

The Walt Disney Company is no stranger to hiding unique details in their products.  Animated films often hide characters from other movies while the theme parks are known for the “hidden mickey,” an intentional or unintentional likeness to everyone’s favorite mouse.  With the announcement of the 2016 summer itineraries for the Disney Cruise Line, now is a great time to take a look into some of the details that help make the Disney Cruise Line extra magical.

The cruise industry is known for the customary bright orange lifeboats which are perched on each ship offering safety and peace of mind to their travelers.  Disney Cruise Line has taken the safety of their guests seriously, but with a fun twist, by painting their lifeboats yellow.  The company had to seek permission from the U.S. Coast Guard to stray from the regulation orange and is the first cruise line to do so.  The color helps to keep with overall special color theming of the ship by complimenting the Black hull, white superstructure, yellow trim, and red funnels featuring the Disney Cruise Line Mickey Mouse logo.

Another first among the cruise industry, Disney Cruise Line is the first of its kind to offer fireworks while at sea.  On most sailings, the unique Pirates in the Caribbean Night features themed food, themed party, and plenty of guests in costume.  While not available on all cruise itineraries, the highlight of the night is when a fireworks show takes place above the open sea, providing a one of a kind experience only provided by the Disney Cruise Line.

The cruise line also has another first in the amount of captains on their ship at any one time.  While other cruise lines feature one captain, the Disney Cruise Line features four captains on each ship!  The ship’s captain, Captain Mickey, Captain Hook, and Captain Jack Sparrow!  Both the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder each employ an additional 950 crew members aside from the four captains.  The crew members come from over 86 different nationalities.   An additional 60 crew members live and work full-time of Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line’s private island.

While these are just a few of the amazing details you can find on Disney Cruise Line ships, there are plenty more surprises around each corner of the four ships with amazing itineraries coming in the summer of 2016.  From the first time sailings to the British Isles to the tropical paradise of the Southern Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line can help your family to experience the most magical summer vacation.
