We just recently arrived from a 7 day day cruise on the Disney Fantasy. This was our 13th cruise, 2nd with Disney. The other cruises have been with Royal Caribbean (7) and Carnival (4). The first thing that will stand out is that the boat is beautiful and super clean. They do a really good job of keeping the decks "slip free" and clear. The second thing that will stand out is the food compared to other cruise lines. It was just slightly better to even with Royal Caribbean but definitely better than Carnival. There are plenty of characters to see throughout the ship which drives the kids crazy. Be patient with the lines. The kids are treated very well and the kid programs were ok. According to my kids they preferred Royal Caribbean and Carnival for kid activities. Their reasoning was "it was just funner."

As much as Disney takes great pride with the details of the ship and the kids I think they tend to neglect the adult activities. The Broadway shows are fantastic and you should not miss them. The adult comedians/acts and night clubs were very poor. Not sure where they find the comedians or the acts but they either limit what they can do or they are actually very poor. Saw plenty of people leave the shows and I fell asleep. On Royal and Carnival the adult activities were always full and the night clubs were full of people dancing and having a great time. You figure Disney would have been better with this.

Although we had a good time not sure if we will go on another due to the cost of the cruise compared to other large cruise lines. It is just over twice the cost of any other cruise lines. I never felt that it was actually worth it. But since it is Disney the supply and demand is high and they can set the price. Also the cost of items on the cruise was really high and they will not allow you to bring alcohol any more past September 30th. If you have never been on a cruise you will have a blast. If you have been on some others you will have fun but if you are active don't expect much. We will try Norwegian Excape next year as I really wanted to go back on Royal Caribbean but the family wanted to try this one out.
