Disney cruise good for sitting around?

[janebanks]

What if two people wanted to do nothing but sit comfortably, sip drinks, talk, and people-watch the whole time? And not even go on excursions. Is a Disney cruise a good place to do that?

Thanks!

my family (youngest was my brother who was 18) has gone on the 3 day and 4 day cruises and neitehr time did an excursions and there is still a lot ofthings we felt we missed. were more beach people so the castaway days we plunked ourselves on the beach all day... first ones off last ones one. and nassau we got off strolled around by ourselves for a few hours and then moseyed back to the ship and just hung around. i think hanging around without excursions is VERY doable and very relaxing!

Absolutely! If you can't find something to do on the ship during port stops, you simply aren't looking.

Unlike some cruise lines which use saltwater in their pools (which I understand must be emptied before entering a port), DCL uses fresh water, and the pools remain open.

The restaurants follow the same schedule as they do while at sea, including the buffet on the 9th deck.

There are activities throughout the ship, such as tours, lectures, demonstrations and games.

You could also treat yourselves to some spa treatments onboard.

Check your daily Navigator for a comprehensive list of what's available, or simply plop yourselves out in the sun and relax.

On our last cruise, when we stopped at Key West (where we've been many times) we went ashore for only an hour or two, then returned to the ship and enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and simply lounging and enjoying a good book while sipping a .

We're going on a 3-nighter in October, and our group of 4 plan on staying aboard during the Nassau stop - - been there, done that.

And enjoy your "people watching"; sometimes that's a major highlight of the entire trip!

Absolutely yes!

Unfortunately I was very much under the weather our last cruise so excursions were out for us, as were activities on board as well... but I still had a great time!

Sure is. My BIL staked out a very comfortable padded lounge chair on deck 9 by the adult pool. He spent hours there reading his book.. We checked on him when it was time to eat. He even stayed on the ship when we went ashore.
MY DH loves to sleep in, so we also compromise on vacation and I try to be quiet or do other things while he "sleeps in". Its very easy to just hang out. We love it.
