Anyone who loves Disney World or Disneyland will love Disney Cruises. The Disney characters entertain the kids on the ships, and there are numerous family activities. As such, the ships are much like a theme park at sea, and are geared towards family cruising. The ships have the "It's a Small World" nursery for babies and supervised children's programs year-round for ages 3 through teens.
