This was our second sailing on the Fantasy and we loved it both times. Sailed with husband and boys ages 8 and almost 3.
Positives - entertainment (live music, activities and shows, esp. Wishes and Believe), staff, service, kids rooms (Its Small World and Oceaneer's Club/Lab) and port adventures. When we docked in Tortola we took the ferry to Virgin Gorda and did the baths/caves .. my 8 ...
Disney fans who took our 1st D cruise. Service was amazing, activities varied, food disappointing. Often difficult to find locations on ship even using maps. Pools & elevators always crowded. Stairs to Aqua Duck got filthier as cruise went on. Remy food & service beyond expectation but definitely a splurge. Oceaneers Club staff great but activities too young for our 10 year old. Disney excursion ...
BACKGROUND: This cruise was a birthday cruise for my older daughter who is turning 5. We also have a 20 month old girl. We thought about doing the theme parks, but figured that is more stressful and we’d wait until the girls are older. So we decided on DCL. Also joining us were my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and their 7 yr old daughter.
Technically, I’ve done DCL once before, on the Wonder. ...
We did this same cruise (same ship, same itinerary, with the Star Wars Day at Sea) 2 years ago, and chose it again because we loved it so much!
Our traveling party: Myself (48), husband (57), our daughter (13), and our niece (24)
TRANSFER TO PORT FROM WDW HOTEL:
We had a few days pre-cruise at the Beach Club. On Friday we received a letter stating our meeting time and place the next ...
Our Son organised this trip as a surprise for us.
It was amazing, we didn't know how we would get on, especially the amount of children on board.
But it was a wonderful trip.
I read a lot of reviews and U Tube ideas.
We arrived earlier than our time and we were accommodated straight away( we had 4 boys aged 1, 3, 9 and nearly 11)
Our stateroom was great and loved the veranda, much ...
We were a family group of ages girl 4, boy 5, mom 45, aunt 50, dad 52, and myself the grandmother 76. It is hard to find a family vacation that will suit such a disparate group, but we settled on a Disney cruise out of Cape Canaveral. This was a good choice.
Since the little ones could go to the "kids club" for many happy hours and give their parents a break, and there was a small adult pool ...
Went on this cruise because a friend at work had taken a 3 day Disney cruise to see if it was worth the cost. She came back raving so we thought we'd give it a try. We've been on about 5 other cruises on different lines but never did Disney because of the cost.
Embarkation:
Spent the 3 days prior to the cruise at WDW and used Disney travel to get to the pier. They picked up our luggage ...
We have a 6-year old granddaughter & thought this would be a great cruise to take with her. However, it turned out to be not so great. The internet is awful, extremely expensive even if all you need to do is to send a short (all word) e-mail to keep our granddaughter's Mom informed about a stomach issue she had. We took an excursion that cost us over $300 for the 3 of us that would not let us ...
Disney knows that most adults want to be a kid again. This cruise filled that "little kid spot" in my soul. It's always fun and a little thrilling to see Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy and Cinderella!
Embarkation and disembarkation are a little crazy but we did them at peak times. Most of the food is good. Highly recommend Palos...excellent food and service.
We enjoyed making new ...
We chose the fantasy because it had so much going on that interested our family. 7 days was perfect. There was a pirate night as well as Star Wars at sea day. Our 10 yr old granddaughter is in to Star Wars and the 5 year old very much a princess. The oldest had a make over at the bibidi bobidee boutique as a Star Wars character on Star Wars day and youngest as a princess another day.
