Gays love Disney…but do we love to sail them?
I’ve personally never been on a Disney ship. I simply fear the number of kids on board… unlike their parks, which I (and many of you) love, at the end of the day you can’t exactly leave the ship.
But I have to say, their new ship, Disney Dream, looks incredible, and the waterslide looks AMAZING. Not sure if I’d be willing to put up with the rug rats to give it a try. I prefer my kids to be Peter Pans like many adult gays I know…but never say neverland.
Disney has also announced they’ll be sailing into Alaska waters from my home port, Vancouver, during the coming season, so maybe I’ll give them a chance.

Partner dude and I have sailed on 7 Disney cruises, usually on the Disney Wonder with 2 sailings on the Disney Magic, including the 2010 westbound transatlantic crossing (Barcelona to Port Canaveral). We are currently scheduled on the Wonder’s repo from Vancouver to L.A. in Sept of this year and will stay on the ship as she sails the first Mexican Riviera of that season. We will be on the Disney Dream for 5 nights in March of 2012, spend a few days at Disney World, and then join the maiden voyage of the Disney Fantasy. I guess you could say we’re hooked on it. We do not have children (well, the dogs think they count but they stay home) and it is surprising how easy it is to actually forget most of the kids that are on the cruises. Disney has done a great job with their various kid’s clubs in keeping them entertained and out of our hair (which, yes, is getting thinner and we don’t need any more aggravation in that regard).
We’ve cruised on Princess (a former employee), NCL, and HAL prior to our “obsession” with DCL and right now DCL is the only thing on which we’re focusing.
Is the night life (after 10:00) quieter? Yes, it is but that really works for us. If you’re looking for the casino you won’t find it on Disney but that’s fine, too (at least for us). You would be amazed at the amount of gay travelers that are on Disney cruisers; quite a few cast members, too, which is always a good thing!
We are really looking forward to a few rides on the Aqua Duck.
