Question

Does disney cruises have a casino?

Answer 1

First Time for on a Cruise Ship...First Time to Europe

I just got back this past Sunday from being on the Disney Ship Magic for it's inagural Mediterranean Cruise.  There is no Casino on the ship, but you will not need it.  

If you want to gamble on this 10 or 11 day cruise, you can get to the Casino's in Barcelona and Monte Carlo as part of Disney Shore Excursions or on your own.  You'll need to dress in a coat and long pants for the Grand Casino in Monte Carlo.

While I have lived and travelled across the US and Pacific, I was apprehensive about stepping onto a European foreign shore and a cruise ship. I had heard how some cruise ships were poorly maintained, people falling overboard, mass sickness, fires and sinkings...I would never have made this trip but I promised my wife I'd take her to renew our vows on a Mediterranean Cruise on our 25th anniversary.....I kept my promise I made 25 years ago.

Disney made it's inagural transatlantic cruise last month in May and the Disney Cruise Ship Magic began it's Mediterranean cruises for the first time stopping off in:

Barcelona Spain,

Palermo, Sicily

Naples/Sorrento/Capri, Italy

Olbia, Sardinia

Rome, Italy

Florence/Pisa, Italy

Marseille, France

Manaco, France

Barcelona, Spain

From day one I was just amazed impressed with the Disney Cruise Welcome staff, housekeeping, Dining, and Entertainment venues including new Movies (latest Pirates movie) and shows (2 per night).

Disney contracted out the shore excursions, and I found them all well run...although IF I ever do this again, I will opt to do several 1/2 day tours (get all the travel and shopping tips) and 1/2 on your own. Disney provided travel and shopping seminars (which are rebroadcast on their internal TV channels 14 and 46).

We met many veteran cruisers (almost 70 percent were on Disney Cruises in the Bahama's (Castaway Club) where they've been based since 1998) and all agreed with my assessment that Disney made this the most enjoyable experience I ever had. Other said Disney was the best as compared to other cruise lines....not just for families with kids, but also for couples, single parents (I met several who left their kids at home).

Many Disney Vacation Club members also told me how they got to take this cruise for FREE (paid only airline fees and EU Taxes). I learned something new about how to plan for future vacations (maybe for my 50th Anniversary).

My only regret was that I now realized I should have done this sooner...but I'll will do it again.

Answer 2

I have been on both disney cruises and neither of them have a casino

Answer 3

Nope.  This is one of the reasons that they charge significantly more.

Answer 4

The people are too busy running after kids all day and too tired at night, to gamble.

Answer 5

No

and they charge more because of that

Answer 6

NOPE.  But honestly I really didn't miss it.  There was so much to do.  I normally spend alot of time in the casino on the ships, but with Disney it wasn't a problem.  

If you are going to the Bahamas, you can also go into Atlantis for your day trip, they have a large casino in there that you can go in an play.  I did and won $300!!!
