Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
5 star dining was the norm every evening. The cabanas buffet had an incredible seafood buffet and many other fresh foods. A real joy to sit by the water enjoying the seafood and impeccable service!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Fantasy had many lovely pools and specific areas. I.e.: all adult pool area, family pool area, teen area. Also a wonderful Senses Spa. Any service you need can be done. Attached is a work out area with full view of ocean. Follow this with a treat from the attached fresh juice bar. They also have a wonderful coffee bar with pastry treats any time of day....or night. Let's not forget Bingo several times a day, family craft activities, and dance lessons!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Broadway quality stage shows every evening. So much fun throughout the evening. The lounge areas had musicians, comedians, magic trick performer, and BallRoom Dancing! Never a dull moment, unless you want that.

Children's Programs

My family begged to go to Kids Club and Oceaneers Club everyday! Also had detective activities throughout the ship at anytime of day. The kids loved it!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service on this ship is far above average. People on every corner to help you. Our room steward was fabulous and became part of our family. The waiters were trained as 5 star servers. Everything you can imagine was available to you with a smile! As the dinner slowed down 1 of our servers had a game/puzzle ready to share with the table. The kids loved it so much they started making a game challenge for them to do. A wonderful friendship was had! Our server even danced with the kids one evening.

Ship Quality

The Disney Fantasy was immaculate!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was kept Beautiful for us each day! It is a handicapped very large room with vanity, dresser, bed, 2 nice bedside chairs to relax in, a sofa that converts to a bed, and a fridge encased in furniture for you. It was very comfortable!! It also had 2 large closets with many hangers, a large bathroom with a roll in shower, bench, and also an available clothes line. A really fabulous relaxing retreat! It was also at the forward point of the ship. Our window was exactly what the captain was seeing!

Ship tip

There are so many things to experience on the Fantasy. Don't feel like you have to do e verything. Most everything repeats except the live Broadway style Shows. Each evening is a different show. Like going to Disney World, there is something on every corner. RELAX......don't spend your days running from event to event. You will love whatever you do!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
It's nice and clean for boarding ships. Not sure what it would be like if it was a port to visit on a cruise.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Very nice Mall area. If you explore beyond that initial block it is not very handicapped accessible for a scooter.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Beautiful and lovely winging walkways.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
You immediately get a feeling for this port when are are greeted by the many people with Monkeys! Not many places to eat.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Absolutely gorgeous!!!! The marinas, the boats, the water....so clear blue! Very nice shopping area and a true feel of the culture of Tortola!

Castaway Cay (Disney Private Island)

5 out of 5
Always a joy! So many different things to do....so many places to eat. I mean....it's Disney!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were met by a porter to help with luggage almost immediately as we were moving off the ship. The lines moved very quickly. Going though customs was a breeze and the porter went all the way to the parking garage with us! Yay!!
