HOW TO BOOK

You can either use one of these methods to book both BBB and Pirates League packages: Online, prior to embarkation, at the Planning Center on board, accessing My Disney Cruise, or visiting BBB directly.

Here’s when guests can start making reservations:

Space is limited and appointments first-come, first-served, so it’s important to book early. Those with appointments are also asked to arrive 15 minutes before the appointment and with hair combed/brushed and clean/bare fingernail. Customers must also be free of any scalp or skin conditions for at least 30 days prior to the appointment.

You must cancel at least 24 hours prior to your reservation to avoid a $10-per-person cancellation fee, which also applies to no-shows.

POOLS

The Disney Dream has several pool and water areas for kids and adults. If you’re wondering about swim diapers, pool vests, and toy and accessories, here’s what you need to know:

• Only children who are toilet trained are allowed in the pools and spas. Kids who aren’t potty trained must wear swim diapers and can enjoy the wet play areas and splash zones.
• Complimentary pool vests are available at the pool decks and can only be used onboard. 
• Floats, rafts, and noodles are not allowed onboard. 
• Coast Guard personal flotation devices (PFDs), water wings, and flotation sewn into bathing suits  are permitted at Goofy’s Pool.
• Swim goggles that fit over the eyes only are permitted at pools, whirlpool spas, and waterslides.
• Swim masks that cover the eyes and nose are only allowed at pools, but they aren’t on slides.
• Snorkel tubes are not permitted at any pools, whirlpool spas, waterslides, or water play areas.

Now, here are the three pools on board:

AquaDuck

Deck: 12

The AquaDuck is a water-gushing acrylic tube, also known as an elevated “water coaster” that is essentially a slide, but transports guests up, down, and around — off the side of the ship. Better yet, try it at night for the multicolored lights.

Those 42 inches or taller can ride and single riders must be 54 inches or taller. Those under 7 who are at least 42 inches tall must ride with someone who is 14 years or older.

Quiet Cove Pool

Deck: 11

This is an adult-exclusive pool strictly for anyone 18 and older. The main pool with a 3-circle design is open daily from 6 a.m. to midnight and features a plunge pool, a shallow sunbathing pool, and a whirlpool spa.

There are deck lounge chairs and built-in lounge chairs in the ankle-deep section of the pool that are available on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition to relaxing, Cast Members will also host games and activities throughout the day, along with a live duo performing music poolside. 

Satellite Falls

Deck: 13

A wading pool that’s exclusive to adults and features a giant water sphere with rain cascading down. Adults can also relax at the Satellite Sun Deck, a shaded area with a glass wraparound enclosure with lounge chairs that are first-come, first-served. 

Nemo’s Reef

Deck: 11

Nemo’s Reef is a splash deck (fountains, bubblers, and pop jets) inspired by Finding Nemo and is perfect for kids. There’s even a kid-sized waterslide shaped like Mr. Ray, among many more interactive play areas. There is also a wheelchair-accessible entrance. 

Mickey’s Pool

Deck: 11

Shaped like Mickey Mouse, this pool is perfect for children. Open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, the pool has a one-deck-high slide, games and activities led by Cast Members, lounge chairs available on a first-come, first-served basis, and more.

Mickey’s Pool Slide is intended for children 4 to 14 years old and they must be between 38 and 64 inches tall. Anyone under 16 must have adult supervision.

Donald’s Pool

Deck: 11

With pools, nearby food stations, on-deck Disney movies and TV shows broadcast on a big screen, activities and games, Donald’s Pool is great for families. There’s also dance floor for both daytime and nighttime events. Anyone under 16 must have adult supervision.

Funnel Puddle

Deck: 12

A family wading pool that’s a bit calmer than hanging out at a main pool area. There’s lounge chairs (available on a first-come, first-served basis), a water play area for kids, and a nice spot to catch some rays.

SPORTS & RECREATION

There are a couple options for those who want to stay active while onboard, including a gym that’s adult-exclusive and a deck filled with fun games.

Goofy’s Sports Deck 

Deck: 13

An open-air activity center for kids, teens, and adults that has all kinds of activities, like a miniature golf course, virtual sports simulators for a range of sports, a basketball court, ping-pong, foosball, shuffleboard, and a running track.

Participants channel their inner detective as they travel all over the ship to crack different cases with help from Disney characters like Mickey, Goofy, and Donald, Pongo and Roger, and Kermit, Miss Piggy, and more. The cases are subject to change.

Fitness Center

Deck: 11

Guests can run on the treadmill, use the elliptical, lift weights, take a class, or even meet with a personal trainer (extra fees apply) at this state-of-the-art fitness center. There are alo showers, lockers, men and women’s changing rooms, and complimentary towels and water.

RESERVATIONS & OTHER POLICIES

You can make reservations for seminars, instructional classes, or one-on-one training sessions at the Fitness Center after 1 p.m. on the day you first board the ship or any time after.
