We are frequent cruisers who have been on all ranges of ships, from the NCL weekend booze cruises to Regent luxury cruises and we weren't sure what to expect on our Disney cruise. We took our very first cruise ever on the Disney Wonder 15 years ago. So, we were excited to revisit the perennial reader's favorite. We took advantage of the Disney check-in from home, as well as the Disney transport. ...
Our family had never been on a cruise before and we decided to take the plunge on the Disney Fantasy. We loved every minute from the time we got on board until we had to get off. The attention to detail and the staff was amazing. We were on the early dining plan which suited the needs for our kids (age 8 and 3) and the food was decent. Our waiter knew what we liked and had suggestions for us each ...
This ship is beautiful!! It is clean and fun and there is so much to do!! The embarkation went smoothly. Very quick!! I do have to say that disembarkation was not the best because when we went to find our luggage my suitcase was missing a wheel (which was laying next to the suitcase) BUT we went to customer service and filled out a form and were promised a refund for our suitcase. By then our ...
6th DCL cruise but first with extended family. We had a group of 18 ranging from age 5-75 spread over 6 cabins. It was also a Star Wars cruise which appealed to some of the kids and adults in our group. Cabins (family oceanview (5) and one inside cabin) were all great. We had a table for 12 and one for 6 at dinner with awesome servers. Weather was warm but very windy for most of the trip. ...
I have only cruised with Disney - and my first one started off rocky... nothing to do with the boat, it was all in my head. I just didn't feel comfortable on the boat, was having trouble with the motion, didn't like the laundry list of side effects the motion sickness pills or patches or voodoo tricks I had at my disposal 'promised' and was adamant about getting off at our first stop and flying ...
I went on the cruise with my family to celebrate the life of our beloved dog Roxy because she passed away from cancer. We went on the Fantasy Star wars cruise it was awesome they had fireworks for Pirates night and then a Starwars fireworks for Starwars night. The service in the dining area was excellent and the steward was one of the best we have ever had. The food was good but the menu you could ...
We chose this cruise because we have two young girls and we didn't have a great experience with keeping them entertained on a different line. Disney by far met our expectations in that regard. The kids enjoyed the kids club enough to give us a few hours of adult time each day and there were more than enough activities outside of the kids club to do as a family.
The ship was spotless and ...
Let's get something straight - this was not a perfect cruise, and there are some elements of the service that were not up to par when compared to previous cruises. However, the Disney Fantasy is a great ship and overall, this turned out to be an extremely enjoyable cruise.
What I liked: Speedy embarkation and good arrival buffet. As the boat recently went to dry dock for a refurbished, all ...
This was our 4th Disney Cruise. It was such a disappointment! In my comments that we left at the end of our cruise, I included 4 pages of items!!! First, the excursions were horrible. We paid just under $1,000 for two excursions and spent more time or transportation than at the actual excursion. I recommended dropping the Mystic Mountain Bobsled and the Xel-Ha resort tours as the docks are so far ...
BACKGROUND
Well, it finally happened! For many years, I had researched Disney Cruise Lines. I'd read about them, looked at itineraries, activities, staterooms and deck plans, but I would stop short of booking a sailing once I got to the pricing page. I just couldn't get myself to book a cruise on Disney and pay what I perceived to be over inflated fares for a product that I wasn't even sure I ...
