My  family was already looking  forward to experiencing what Disney had to  offer at sea when a little piece of  mail came that raised the  anticipation even higher. I ripped into the envelope to discover that   we were on the first Disney Channel Summer at Sea cruise for 2009! After  a momentary debate with myself, I  decided to tell my boys about this  new twist of events and was promptly  rewarded with shrieks and screams.  It  also turned into being asked to check the Disney Cruise Line  website several  times a week for new additions to the star line-up for  our sailing. The finalized list for our cruise included  Corbin Bleu,  Brandon Smith, Doug Brochu, Roshon Fegan, and Tiffany Thornton.<\/p>\n<p>As advertised, the Disney Channel Summer at Sea cruises hold   scheduled events with the stars throughout the cruise. If these are  offered  again, the first chance to see the stars is during the  sail-away party. In our case, this was moved indoors due to a   thunderstorm, which made viewing more challenging. It was quite  entertaining, though, to listen to  the conversation of teenage girls  change depending on which star was being  introduced. From a distance my  husband and I observed a taping of an interview  with Corbin Bleu while  the <em>Disney Wonder<\/em> was in port in Nassau. This was not listed  as an event in the personal Navigator, and really did  not appear to be  in an area that allowed for an audience. Later on that day, there was a  concert at the  Goofy pool featuring a live performance by Corbin Bleu.  Other official events included autograph  sessions and a &#8220;Get the Scoop&#8221;  question and answer session with all the stars. On  our cruise, though,  these two events took place on Castaway Cay day so we had  other plans  and did not make either of these.<\/p>\n<p>The teens traveling with our  group did get the chance to  just hang out with at least a few of the  stars and their siblings on the first  night and talk to them a few  other times as well. The two teens with us reported  back that overall  the Disney Channel kids and families were not that different  than the  kids they normally would hang out with. We also observed one of the  stars during downtime on the last night. He interacted with other  teenagers before and during  karaoke and posed for pictures when asked  by other kids.<\/p>\n<p>Disney Channel Summer at Sea allows families to experience  some  neat opportunities that most of us would not be able to get in other   locations. At the same time, for those  cruising who have no interest in  the added activities, it does not detract at  all from the regular  Disney Cruise atmosphere.  I do not think I would purposely set out to  book a cruise just based on  this addition, but it would not keep me  from  booking a cruise, either. Who knows,  though \u2014 as my boys get  older and depending on which stars are included, it might  be enough of a  draw for my family. What  is certain is we will continue to cruise with  or without the Disney Channel  Summer at Sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Susan Kirby What could be better than a cruise on one of the Disney ships?
