During a recent sailing on the Disney Dream for a 5-Night Double Dip Cruise from Miami, we got the opportunity to check out the Cove Cafe on the Disney Dream. Cove Cafe is the coffee bar on the Disney Dream and it is located next to the main adult pool on Deck 11. The Cove Cafe serves espresso drinks, with and without alcohol, for an additional charge (the drinks are not included in your cruise fare).
The Cove Cafe is composed of a long bar surrounded by a large number of comfortable sitting areas. You can order from the bar. While I’ve never tried, I’m sure you could order a regular drink in here as well.
Each of the sitting areas has a nice porthole to let in light and to allow the patrons to look out. Some of them face out towards the adult pool while others face towards the side of the ship (giving you a slightly obstructed view of the ocean.) You can also get your drinks and take them outside to enjoy.
Our sailing just happened to be a Very Merrytime sailing, so there were special decorations and special menu.
There is also a small display case with various snack items in it – sometimes these are savory, like meats and cheeses, and other times the display case will contain sweet items such as breads or small pastries. These snack items are included in the cost of your cruise. You will just need to ask one of the crew members working in the Cove Cafe for the items you would like. I’m particularly fond of the chocolate orange muffins.
Next time you find yourself on a Disney cruise, make sure you take some time to enjoy a beverage from one of the cafes!
