Traveled with children

I got it into my head I wanted to treat our family to a cruise for our 40th wedding anniversary. I researched all types of cruises and settled on Disney since we have adult children and young grandchildren. We chose Disney Fantasy just for the sheer novelty and because I wanted a cruise where children would be entertained. I couldn't have chosen a better cruise. Fantasy is a large ship with entertainment galore, places for all ages to have fun and fabulous food.

Disney knows how to handle large crowds and the embarkation went smoothly, disembarkation was unbelievably efficient and quick and in between most of the time you were not really aware of how many people actually were on the ship. There were always places to go to get some peace and quiet and always places to go and things to do with our children and grandchildren.

We stayed at the Hyatt Orlando airport, had a great room but we both had bad reactions to the food (which tasted wonderful at the time) I was mildly queasy and my husband ill for about 24 hours after we stayed there. At first I passed it off as seasickness but he was ill even on land at our first port. I remained queasy until the 2nd day and we both became well on board ship while it was moving, so seasickness was not likely. We were completely well after that. I recommend you eat in the airport.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

Fantastic cabin compared to the small one we had on a previous small boat cruise. Best and most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. Lots of storage space for two. Very small balcony right over life boats - I wish they had turned the lights off. That area is always lit and the next time I would find a cabin away from that. I would like to see the stars. I never saw the stars because the lights are always on all over the ship. Great stateroom, extremely comfortable, with couch and bunk in ceiling over couch. We did not need those, but my grandchildren enjoyed that very much. Great TV with good programming. Quiet corridors for the most part. Wonderful comfortable roomy cabin. Bathroom split and shower was great and had enough space. Every comfort was provided. Each night we had a different towel animal waiting for us and one night it was so charming - a monkey hanging from a skirt hanger over our bed - that we just left it there all night.
