Top 10 Things to do on a Disney Cruise Day at Sea

Top 10 Things to do on a Disney Cruise Day at Sea

If you are trying to decide how to spend your Disney Cruise day at sea, we have a few ideas for you to consider.

1. Spend Time at the Pool

You won’t want to spend too much time out in the sun because there will be so much else to do with your day.

Besides just catching some rays you can enjoy poolside trivia and movies on the Funnel Vision screen.

Most ships also have slides, so there is plenty of fun to be had both in the pool, by the pool and on the waterslides!

2. Watch a Movie

There are always movies playing on the Disney Cruise ships. Either venture to the Buena Vista theater or watch one poolside.

Remember, there is no extra fee for movies on the Disney Cruise Line and they even show first run movies!

4. Play Putt-Putt

Each Disney Cruise ships has a mini golf course! It is small but fun and built around a Goofy theme.

It’s just play as you go, no reservation needed! Best of all, it is free.

5. Play Outdoor Games

Grab a ball and shoot some hoops. You might even make a new friend in a pickup game.

This basketball court is open play and surrounded by a net (so no worries in a ball going overboard!)

There are several ping pong tables and even a couple of foosball tables for you to play on the sports deck. 

There is no reserving the tables, just look for an available one and enjoy your time.

6. Shuffleboard

One game that everyone seems to enjoy (even if they don’t know all the rules) is shuffleboard. You will find them on just about every floor and they are hardly ever used, but so much fun to play!

How to Play Shuffleboard

Your goal is to get the puck as far down the board as possible, without having it fall off the far end. The rules usually require that you alternately take turns.

As you play, you may bump or knock off your opponent’s pucks. That is okay! It prevents them from scoring!

Usually the most common games are played either to 15 or 21 points.

7. Browse the Vista Gallery

Even if you can’t afford to buy a piece of Disney art, enjoy some time looking at all the amazing artwork! You will find beautiful Disney-themed pieces like ones painted by master artist, Thomas Kinkade.

8. Play Disney Trivia

There is at least one trivia game going on each day of a Disney Cruise. Usually, during a day at sea, there are several different Disney Trivia games!

Check the Navigator App for a full list!

9. Play Bingo

While many of the things you can do during your day at sea on a Disney Cruise don’t cost money, Bingo does.

Even though it is a bit pricey, it is a lot of fun! One Disney Cruise tip that I can give is to splurge for the handheld device. That is how most people win.

10. Arts & Crafts

While on board, you may find that there are art & crafts opportunities, learn-to-draw events and even some cooking opportunities.

Most of these are FREE and you usually walk away with something you can take home with you.

We really love when we get a day at sea on a Disney ship, and it’s even better when you get two days at sea.

This ship has so much for your family to do that you will NEVER get bored!
