Disney Cruise Line: Disney Magic

Favorites

Best Added Value: Soft drinks at meals and beverage stations are included in your cruise fare, so you don't have to max out your onboard account to keep everyone satisfied.

Teen Scene: Disney ship designers recognized that teenagers are at an awkward stage in their lives, so a lot of extra effort went into re-creating the teen territories in 2004. The Stack on Disney Magic and Aloft on Disney Wonder are more hip dorm lounge than family room—adult-free spaces where teens can have the freedom they crave and where parents are not allowed. However, in Disney style, they are discreetly supervised by counselors.

Our Favorite Spot for a Nightcap: Have no fear—you won't be limited to milk and cookies. Each ship has a piano bar-jazz club for easy listening and late-night cocktails.

Good for Families: There are plenty of connecting cabins that sleep 3, 4, and 5. Two-bedroom suites sleep up to 7; one-bedroom suites sleep 4 or 5; and deluxe family balcony staterooms sleep up to 5.
