Ludicris once asked the musical question "What's Your Fantasy?". Well, you can tell us later, but in the mean time, we would like to tell you a little bit about Disney Cruise Lines Newest Baby called Fantasy.
Built and christened in 2012, Fantasy is truly the baby of the Disney bunch, she took on many of the qualities of her older siblings, and still bought a style all her own. Without a doubt, Fantasy is a truly wonderful addition to the proud line a Disney Cruise Ships. So, what can we tell you about Fantasy? Well....For starters, the basics of Fantasy are she has a total capacity of 4000 people of which 1450 are crew. Very nice, yes, very nice. Fantasy is 1115 feet long - about the size of a small aircraft carrier for you Navy folks.:)- and she weighs in at 128,000 tons. In other words, Fantasy is a Lean, Clean, Cruising Machine. Oh? I'm boring you with the specs? So, you don't care about the 2 inside and 3 outside pools? The Jacuzzi, that's like something you expect? You're like "Blah Blah Beauty Salon, blah blah"? Hmmmm, Ok, I feel you on that. So, check this out....
Fantasy offers 13 wheelchair cabins, so yes, when Disney says fun for all, they mean it. Get on Down Disney. But wait, there's more....
Fantasy may be the baby of the bunch, but she is certainly not the runt of the litter. Fantasy stands a full 14 decks tall. Oh wow, so we are talking long, lean, and tall? That makes Fantasy very sleek and sexy, like the Ferrari that mom won't let you buy..:). Yes indeed, Mickey Mouse has come a long way since the days of Steam Boat Willie. But wait, yes wait, there's more....
Let's talk about some of the staterooms like the Deluxe Family Ocean View Stateroom with Verandah located on Deck 10 and features a private verandah, private split bathroom with round tub and shower, 22" flat-screen TV, iPod docking station, refrigerator, ample closet space, safe, hairdryer, phone with voicemail, and individual climate control. Pretty nice huh? What's that? You love your kids, but you just want a get way for just you and your beloved spouse? Ok, ok, just for you Fantasy offer staterooms like the Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom like this one on Deck 9. These are just a couple of examples, there are many more staterooms to choose from. Ah, I can hear the gears turning in your mind right now. So you like the staterooms, but you wonder what else is there to do? Gee, I am so glad you asked...

Discover for yourself the wild, unexplored beauty of the Mayan Coast.
Cozumel Mexico: The beautiful island of Cozumel, the largest inhabited island in Mexico, is a paradise for divers from all over the world.
