As you might know by now, Disney Cruise Line is our absolute favorite way to vacation. While it’s a perfect family vacation for kids, there’s so much to do on board for adults, too! Whether it’s an adults-only trip or you’re taking some time for yourself while the kids are in the Oceaneer’s Lab, be sure to take some time to enjoy the adult-exclusive areas and activities. One of our favorite adult-only experiences is the Rainforest Room. In this post, we’ll be talking all about the Rainforest Room on Disney Cruise Line, including the features on each ship and why we love it!
Disney Magic and Disney Wonder
The Rainforest Room on the classic ships (Disney Magic and Disney Wonders) are different than the Rainforest Room on the Dream class (Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy). The Rainforest Room on the classic ships is a small, private, relaxing area inside Senses Spa & Salon. The area is accessible only to guests who have purchased a pass. The area consists of 2 steam rooms, including an aromatherapy option and 3 showers which have rainforest settings. Lastly, there are warm ceramic loungers which surround a relaxing fountain. These are the perfect spot to rest or enjoy a book (there is even a reading light on each lounger!).
Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy
On the two newer ships, the Rainforest Room is a bigger space. The Rainforest Room on the classic ships are completely indoors, but here the location allows for windows with beautiful views. The Rainforest Room here has 3 steam rooms, including one with a panoramic window. There are 4 showers which feature the various rainforest settings. Additionally, the Dream and Fantasy also have 2 hot tubs with open-air windows. This is the biggest difference from the Magic and Wonder. The hot tubs are fairly small and an odd design that makes them suitable for 2 guests, but not as comfortable if you try to fit additional people. The view makes up for it though! Plus, the ceramic loungers are near the hot tubs so you can also enjoy the ocean view from there.
While the space is bigger, the Dream and Fantasy do have more guests on board so the crowd levels should be about the same. However, we do feel the layout is better and the features are nicer on the newer ships. Plus, the Dream and Fantasy have the hot tubs and ocean views that are not available on the classic ships. For these reasons, we personally find that the Rainforest Room is more worthwhile on the Dream and Fantasy.
How to Purchase Passes for the Rainforest Room on Disney Cruise Line
Passes for the Rainforest are available as a day pass or for the entire cruise. You can purchase a day pass in advance by calling (800) 601-8455 (US Guests) or (407) 566-7000 (international Guests). The length of cruise pass cannot be purchased in advance. If you want the length of cruise option, you should visit the spa on embarkation day. Be aware that an 18% gratuity will be added to all spa services, including the Rainforest Room passes.
Accessing the Rainforest Room on Disney Cruise Line
A limited number of passes are available for the Rainforest Room on each cruise. In order to keep access to the Rainforest Room private, guests are given a wristband/bracelet that allows them access. You just tap the bracelet to open the door to the Rainforest Room. Each time you arrive at the spa, you will exchange your room key for a bracelet. They will keep your room key at the front desk until you depart the spa and exchange back. This prevents people from being able to take their wristband with them or share with other guests who haven’t paid. If you haven’t purchased a pass for the Rainforest Room but would like to see it, you can visit on embarkation day for a tour!
Overall
Overall, we are big fans of the Rainforest Room! The area is very relaxing and we love to take advantage of the steam rooms, showers, loungers and hot tubs. While we definitely prefer the Rainforest Room on the Disney Dream and Fantasy, even on the Magic and Wonder the Rainforest Room has a lot to offer. If you are looking to include some relaxation in your cruise vacation, this is definitely something you’ll want to consider! Have you visited the Rainforest Room?
