Most people recognize Disney Cruises as a top provider of family entertainment. However, the Disney cruise ships all have adult "playgrounds" (bars and lounges) that allow parents or adults traveling without kids to have a quiet drink, enjoy the ocean views, or even party the night away.

Many of the adults-only venues on the Disney Dream cruise ship are concentrated in The District, an entertainment neighborhood featuring five trendy lounges:

In addition to The District lounges on deck 4, the Disney Dream also features a marvelous quiet bar named Meridian, which is located between the Remy and Palo restaurants on deck 12. The Cove Cafe and Vista lounges are quiet places to enjoy coffee, conversation, a good book, or the Internet. Those looking for a drink when outdoors by the pool can check out the Quiet Cove Pool swim-up bar, Currents, or the Waves bar.

Many older kids think they are adults and will want to be included in the adults-only areas. However, they won't feel left out since they have their own exclusive areas--the tweens (ages 11 to 13) at Edge in one of the ship's funnels on deck 13, and the teens (ages 13 to 17) at the Vibe Teen Club on deck 5 forward.

Although the Disney Dream has many places for adults and older kids to escape the younger children or the "real" world, the cruise ship has many family-friendly lounges and theaters such as the D Lounge, Buena Vista Theater, and Walt Disney Theater.
