What is considered an adult on a Disney cruise?

Guests ages 18 and older have a number of adults-only activities and venues to choose from, including, state-of-the-art fitness centers, stylish nightclubs and lounges, indulgent spa and salon services, the secluded Quiet Cove Pool and elegant dining at Palo and, aboard the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, at Remy ...



On Disney Cruise Line, the definition of an "adult" varies depending on whether you are looking at pricing or access to facilities. For booking and fare pricing, anyone 13 years of age and older is charged the adult fare. However, for onboard activities and venues, the adult age is strictly 18 and older. This means that while a 14-year-old pays an adult price for the cruise, they are not permitted in "Adult-Only" areas such as the Quiet Cove Pool, the Senses Spa & Salon, or adult-exclusive restaurants like Palo and Remy. Additionally, the legal drinking age on all Disney ships departing from U.S. ports is 21. For the youth clubs, the "Edge" club is for tweens (11-14) and "Vibe" is for teens (14-17). Once a guest reaches their 18th birthday, they transition from the teen clubs to the "1820 Society" and gain full access to the ship’s nightclubs, lounges, and secluded adult decks, marking their official status as an adult passenger for all onboard privileges.
