My family had stayed on the Disney Wonder a few years back and my mom and sister loved the experience, the little attention to detail only Disney can do to make the trip magical. After 6 years we booked to go on the Disney Fantasy because of the warm weather in the Caribbean, being able to visit the Disney private Island of Castaway Cay and try out the Aquaduck! The price was very expensive and as much as I tried to convince on going on one of the big boats on the RCL it was Disney or nothing for my mother and sister.

The embarkation was a bit hectic has someone had fallen ill in the cruise before us at Castaway Cay and caused the boat to arrive 3 hrs late. It caused a ruckus with no shuttles going to the port. We arrived an hr later than expected but Disney made up for the delay with making the process as speedy as could be. We got bonus lanyards because we were castaway members (previous guests) The buffet area at cabanas had a wide selection of food and made us feel a lot better.

The 3 different dining areas were beautiful (my personal favourite was the animators palette due to the cool interactions and images shown on the walls. Unfortunately we didn't get to speak to Crush on the first time dining there because I had booked for us to eat at Remy's. The experience was like nothing else.. I wouldn't do it every day but it was nice to dress up and be treated like VIPs. Every dish had plate covers and we had about 3-4 servers serving us at any given time. About 8 courses or so and the chef would come out to see how we were doing. Fantastic treat for my parents.

Cabin Review

Standard Inside Stateroom

Cabin 11A

We had to wait till 1:30pm before we could get to our stateroom.

The rooms though the smallest on the ship was big enough for my husband and I and the other room was adequate for my parents and sister. I really liked the magical porthole, quite entertaining and showed live footage of vies from outside. Interesting characters would pop up from time to time. The beds are insanely comfortable and was happy to see they were still using H20 spa products. More draw space would have bee nice but otherwise it wasn't bad. Our stateroom host could of done a better job replacing towels and tidying up the room for us.

Port Reviews

Castaway Cay

Great private island that was very cool. Water on the adults only beach Serenity bay is breathtaking. Lovely chilled day but snorkeling is not as good as Grand Cayman.
