Our multi-generational family of four--Grandma, Mom, Dad, and 10-year old boy-- sailed on the Disney Fantasy to the Western Caribbean, departing July 6th. This was only my 3rd cruise(Grandma--2 Disney, 1 RCCL), but the rest of the family have been on many others (4 Disney, 2 NCL, 1 RCCL). Joining us were a family of three dear friends, first-time Disney cruisers, Mom, Dad, and another 10-year old boy. What fun for the children! Shuffleboard contests with the Dads were a highlight of the cruise!
Flew into Orlando the morning of the cruise, hopped on the Magical Express at the airport (the only way to go!), and in what seemed like no time arrived at our ship. Embarkation was exceptionally easy---very little waiting and we were soon onboard. Disney embarkation is FAR AND AWAY better than any other cruise line! Our friends were pleasantly surprised when they were greeted and announced upon stepping onboard.
Our Family Deluxe Verandah cabin was spacious--plenty of storage for a family of four and then to be able to hide away the luggage under the queen-size bed---what a plus!
Cabin 6098, Midship --Deluxe Family Verandah--was generous size and had PLENTY of storage for clothes and shoes for a family of four. Great storage for suitcases under the queen-size bed. Foldout couch was comfortable but the pull down berth was reported as hard by the 10-year old boy who occupied it.Highly recommend this cabin.
