I booked this cruise for my 17 yr old son and myself on opening day (more than 500 days out). This was our 3rd Disney cruise and his last chance to do the Wild Side Teen Adventure on Castaway Cay after previous 2 attempts were cancelled due to weather. Originally, we were supposed to go to Eastern Caribbean (Tortola and St Thomas) with 3 Sea Days. Because of hurricanes in September, our ...
We sailed on the rerouted cruise on 11/4. The ship is BEAUTIFUL, a true work of art. All areas of the ship are immaculately clean. We never once smelled any sewage or saw anything out of place. Our waiters (Lucio and Paul) were fantastic, our kids really enjoyed them and their nightly magic tricks. Our stateroom attendant, Ronald, kept our stateroom spotless and his towel animals were great. We ...
This was our second Disney cruise (Wonder in 2015), and our 7th cruise overall (we previously sailed with Carnival).
Embarkation - We used the Disney bus transfer from MCO. It was easy and seamless. We were on the second bus of the morning from the airport. We received our boarding number at the terminal, and was disappointed that it was 15 instead of a lower number (smaller wait). We waited ...
My family (Myself, my husband, son-14 yrs, and daughter-12yrs ) had never been on a cruise. We chose Disney because my kids are allergic to nuts and fish/seafood/sesame and we knew from Disney World experience and talking with their allergist that Disney would be the best- AND IT WAS!!! Their safety with eating is the most important aspect of traveling for us.
With the allergies, traveling ...
We sailed on the Dream in 2013 and thought it was a wonderful experience. In 2015 we sailed with Royal Caribbean and found it hard to choose between them. Now after this Western (changed after Hurricane Irma) Caribbean 7 Day on the Fantasy I now know that RC is the better choice for us.
For cruisers with children, perhaps this is a great experience, but for us without kids its just not a ...
This is a very late Disney Cruise Review, but as I look to book my next cruise, I read all these bitter reviews about the Disney Fantasy so here goes a Review from a Newlywed couple in their upper 20s with no kids on their honeymoon.
It started in the Cruise Terminal, Disney must have had it specially built because it has all the Subtle Disney Nuances Like the mickey head shaped terminal gate. ...
We booked this cruise because we wanted to get away with our very active Grandkids for a week to give their parents a break. I will start first with the on the ship experience with a pro and con scenario and recap the booking nightmare in the last paragraph.
Embarkation was a breeze. Parking was easy and fair for the price, equivalent to a major city airport short term parking. Porters met us ...
Stayed in concierge twice, first time on Magic, this was our second. On the Fantasy there were some noticeable improvements but also minuses:
Embarkment: very smooth, we were on the ship within 15 minutes
Concierge Lounge/Concierge Service:
It took about 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged our presence and then they said they were busy and "other staff" were helping out (non-concierge ...
To start things off, this sailing was not a Star Wars cruise as stated in the itinerary. This was a Halloween on the High Seas cruise.
My hubby and I were traveling alone on this cruise...no kids. I am a huge Disney fan and this was our first DCL cruise, but we are not new to cruising. This was our 16th cruise. Everyone I spoke with reassured me that I would never want to sail any other ...
What a fantastic cruise! Embarkation and debarkation went smoothly. The ship itself was wonderful inside and out. We had a deluxe family oceanview room with a verandah and was very happy with it. The split bathroom was helpful when we got ready for the day and for dinner. We had a shower/tub and it was a decent size for a cruise stateroom. Dining was awesome - our server and assistant server were ...
