Disney Fantasy Review

Additional details
We took our first family cruise on the Disney Fantasy on March 29, 2014 (7- Night Western Caribbean) Family of 5 - 16yo daughter 14 and 8 yo sons along with my wife We were fortunate enough to have a friend who works for DCL who was able to hook us up with the 'Friends and Family' program which saved us some money. I did quite a bit of research regarding Disney cruises before going so I had a pretty good idea of what to expect but we were still blown away by the overall experience. We were lucky enough to be chosen as the 'Family of The Day' shortly after arriving in the terminal. A Disney representative personally took us around to get the kids signed up for the clubs, etc. By being the family of the day we were given the privilege of being the first ones to board the ship. What an amazing experience for the kids and us as well.
Once on the ship, we just wanted to explore a bit since our cabins wouldn’t be ready for a couple of hours. We found Cabanas and had a great lunch buffet. My wife has Celiac and when she asked one of the servers about a dish on the buffet, he quickly grabbed one of the chefs who personally took my wife around to each station to show her which items did and did not have gluten in them. They couldn’t have done a better job regarding my wife’s allergy and she was blown away by the dining options she had. The castaway party, which is usually on deck, was rained out and held inside so we missed it due to the major crowds in the atrium area.

Cabin Review
We had cabins on deck 2 (2000 and 2002) which was fine although a verandah would have been nice but for the deal we got, you’ll get no complaints from us. Each cabin had a large port hole that had a window seat built in that was cool to sit or even lay in if you wanted to. The cabins were very nice with plenty of room for storage. Dual bathrooms came in very handy when time came to get ready for dinner. The bathrooms, although smaller than what you’d get in a hotel were very nice. The fixtures were very nice and the supplied towels and toiletries were top notch. The main bed was amazingly comfortable although my 8 yr old son didn’t find the pull down bunk to be all that comfortable and chose to sleep on the convertible sofa bed instead.We did not feel cramped in the cabins at all although we did not spend an abundance of time in there. I do think having 4 people in one cabin might be a little tight but very manageable.
