Why a Disney Cruise Was the Ultimate Girls’ Getaway

Why We Chose a Disney Cruise for Our Girls’ Trip

Let’s be honest—when you think “Disney Cruise,” you probably picture families, kids, and Mickey-shaped waffles. But what if I told you that it’s also the perfect luxury vacation for a group of girlfriends looking to unwind, indulge, and have the time of their lives?

Disney Cruise Line adult-only deck parties

That’s exactly what my three best friends and I discovered when we booked our 7-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise on the Disney Fantasy. We wanted a trip that blended relaxation, adventure, and a little bit of Disney magic—without the stress of planning every detail.

The moment we stepped onboard and saw the stunning decor, adults-only infinity pools, high-end cocktail bars, and a full-service spa, we knew we had made the BEST decision ever.

Our two spacious staterooms with balconies gave us the perfect ocean-view retreat to sip our morning coffee (or mimosas—no judgment here) and watch the waves roll by.

And from that moment on, our itinerary was filled with pampering, delicious food, Broadway-worthy shows, and late-night laughs over handcrafted cocktails.

A Luxurious Escape: The Adults-Only Areas We Loved

One of the biggest perks of a Disney Cruise for a girls’ getaway? The adults-only areas. No kids, no stress—just pure relaxation and fun.

🏖 Quiet Cove Pool & Satellite Falls – Imagine a serene infinity pool with breathtaking ocean views, plush lounge chairs, and servers bringing you cocktails. We spent HOURS here, floating in pure bliss with frozen piña coladas in hand.

🍸 The Cocktail Lounges – Every night, we made it our mission to try a new lounge or bar (for research purposes, of course 😉). Our favorites?

Disney cruises with fine dining experiences

Pink: The Champagne Bar – Chic, bubbly, and Instagram-worthy. The rosé flights? Absolute perfection.

The Meridian Bar – A sophisticated hideaway with hand-crafted cocktails and stunning ocean views. We may or may not have closed it down a few nights!

Skyline Lounge – The most unique bar EVER, with “windows” that change to show famous city skylines like Paris and New York. We felt like globe-trotting VIPs.

Disney Cruise Line nightlife for adults

🍷 Palo Brunch & Remy Dinner – We treated ourselves to fine dining at Palo (for brunch) and Remy (for dinner), and wow—absolute culinary heaven. Truffle eggs, fresh pastries, caviar, and wine pairings? Yes, please.

Pampering Like Queens at the Senses Spa & Salon

The Senses Spa & Salon quickly became our second home. Because if you’re on a luxury cruise with your best friends, why NOT treat yourself to every spa treatment imaginable?

💆‍♀️ Massages & Facials – We each booked deep tissue massages, facials, and even a hot stone treatment. I think I melted into the massage table and achieved a new level of relaxation.

🧖‍♀️ The Rainforest Room – This was our FAVORITE hidden gem! The saunas, heated loungers, aromatherapy showers, and oceanfront hot tubs were pure magic. We spent hours here, sipping fruit-infused water and feeling like goddesses.

💇‍♀️ Salon Glam Makeovers – Mid-week, we booked hair styling at the Untangled Salon, because why not? We had fresh blowouts, curls, and even some beachy braids before heading to dinner. Nothing says girls’ trip glow-up like a little pampering.

Broadway Shows, Deck Parties & Mini Golf (Because We’re Competitive)

A Disney Fantasy cruise isn’t just about relaxation—it’s also about amazing entertainment and FUN.

🎭 Broadway-Style Shows – We were BLOWN AWAY by the entertainment! Disney’s Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular was our favorite (the Genie had us in stitches), but the other shows were just as incredible.

🎉 Deck Parties & Fireworks – If you haven’t danced under the stars in the middle of the ocean, have you even lived? The Pirate Night deck party was an absolute blast—we dressed up, danced to live music, and watched the fireworks at sea!

Mini Golf & Game Night – Mini golf turned into an intense, bragging-rights-only competition (spoiler: I lost), and we also had a hilarious time at Disney trivia and karaoke nights.

Exploring the Caribbean: Stunning Shore Days

Our Eastern Caribbean itinerary took us to Tortola, St. Thomas, and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. Each stop gave us the perfect mix of beach relaxation, island adventure, and crystal-clear waters.

🏝 Tortola, British Virgin Islands – We hopped on a catamaran to The Baths at Virgin Gorda, where we waded through hidden caves and breathtaking turquoise pools. Total paradise.

🐠 St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands – We snorkeled with sea turtles and took a scenic tram ride for the best ocean views.

Disney’s Castaway Cay – Disney’s private island was our favorite stop! We sipped fruity cocktails at the adults-only Serenity Bay, got beachside massages, and floated in the crystal-clear lagoon for hours.
