What's Your Fan-ta-Sy?
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...
Disney pride themselves on offering something for everybody and every taste. While onboard, you can visit areas such as:
The Enchanted Garden located on Deck 2: Enchanted Garden on the Disney Fantasy is a Main Dining restaurant located on Deck 2, Midship that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Inspired by the opulent gardens of Versailles, Enchanted Garden magically transforms from day to night.
The Walt Disney Theater located on Decks 3 and 4: The Walt Disney Theatre, a large-sized theatre located
on Decks 3 and 4, Forward aboard the Disney Fantasy, is a lavish live-performance venue that recalls the grandeur of the dashing theatre palaces of yesteryear—providing a dramatic setting for the original, Broadway-style Disney live shows, as well as first-run and digital 3-D films.
The Aqua-Duck located on Deck 12: AquaDuck is an exciting transparent tube water coaster located at Deck 12, Aft aboard the Disney Fantasy that transports Guests on an exhilarating journey off the side of the ship, through the Forward Funnel and down 4 decks into a lazy river.

These are only the tip of the iceberg of things to do while onboard Fantasy. Um, friend, like the kids are supposed to be getting super excited. You're the grown up, you're supposed to have a little more self control. Ah, what the heck, it's a Disney Cruise, go on, let your hair down. Like we said, Fantasy has something for every family member, young, old and points in between. For instance:
It's A Small World Nursery located on Deck 5: It's a Small World Nursery, a nursery for young ones located at Deck 5, Midship aboard the Disney Fantasy, is a charming nursery center inspired by the classic Disneyland Resort attraction—and original artwork by Mary Blair—that provides care for little ones ages 3 months to 3 years.
Got Pre-teens or "Tweens"? Got you covered there to with:
The Edge located on Deck 13: Edge, a tweens-exclusive space located at Deck 13 inside the Forward Funnel aboard the Disney Fantasy, is a hip hotspot where kids ages 11 through 13 can watch television, listen to music, play video games, surf the Internet, partake in various activities and make new friends.
The Arr-Cade located on Deck 11: Arr-cade, an arcade located at Deck 11, Aft next to Cabanas aboard the Disney Fantasy, is a fun spot featuring the newest video games for Guests looking to get their game on.
And more. Oh, you got some "Almost Grown Folk" huh? Yep, Disney has them covered too with:
Vibe located on Deck 5: Vibe, a teens-exclusive space located at Deck 5, Forward aboard the Disney Fantasy, is a cool, trendy spot—home to an indoor lounge and a breezy outdoor deck—where teens ages 14 through 17 can watch television, play video games, listen to music, surf the Internet, enjoy fun activities and make new friends
Ok, kids are occupied. Job well done Gov'nah. Now, it is time for you, and that special mister or mrs. How about relaxing in areas such as:
The Meridian located on Deck 12: Meridian, an adults-only bar located on Deck 12, Aft between Palo and Remy aboard the Disney Fantasy, is a charming nighttime spot inspired by the pioneering days of sea travel, where Guests can enjoy a pre- or post-dinner cocktail amid an indoor ocean view setting or breezy outdoor deck.
Cafe Cova located on Deck 11: Cove Café, an adults-only lounge located on Deck 11, Forward aboard the Disney Fantasy, is a cheerful hangout where adults can enjoy a cocktail, gourmet coffee or snack while perusing a magazine, watching television or surfing the Internet.
These are but a few examples, and there is a lot mo.... Ahem! Ah Sir, yo, my friend.. Ok, man, you are a little bit excited here. Let me speak to the Mrs. So, is he always like this? Looks like he more excited than the kids, and they are excited. Hey, it's all good because it is a Disney Cruise. Look at him high fiving the kids..:)
Well, now that know a little bit about Disney's newest baby Fantasy, allow me to tell you about some of the places She could visit during the cruise. We are talking about such exotic ports of call as:
Costa Maya: Once the Imperial Maya’s Port of Call now Puerto Costa Maya is the leader in culture and adventure travel in the Mexican Caribbean! Explore the wonders of the Mayan Coast, the incredible Great Maya Reef austounding architectural feats, endless white beaches and the mysterious sacred cities of the ancient maya. 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. The island is surrounded by more than 25 reef formations where divers of all ages and skills can enter into a completely fascinating and different world: endless coral inhabited by immense shoals of colorful fish.
Grand Cayman Islands: Miles of powdery white beaches above clear blue water and one of the richest marine environments make Grand Cayman one of the Caribbean’s finest vacation destinations (and a world class scuba diving destination).
St Thomas USVI: Charlotte Amalie, capital and chief port of the Virgin Islands of the United States, on Saint Thomas Harbor, southern Saint Thomas Island. Rum, bay rum, woolens, jewelry, and sugar are exported. Local industries include boat building, rum and alcohol distilling, and the production of handicrafts. A picturesque town built on three hills, Charlotte Amalie is a free port and a major tourist resort.
San Juan PR: Called "La Ciudad Amurallada", San Juan was founded in 1521. In 1508 Juan Ponce de León founded the original settlement, Caparra, behind the almost land-locked harbor just to the west of the present metropolitan area. The settlement was abandoned and moved to the site of what is now called Old San Juan. San Juan is one of the biggest and best natural harbors in the Caribbean and is the second oldest city in the Americas.
And these are but a few ports which Fantasy will visit.
So, how is he doing right now? Is he still on cloud 9? Great, everybody deserves to be treated to not only a vacation, but an experience. Cruising is ultimate vacation experience. It is like taking an All-Inclusive Resort and allowing it to move from location to location. As cruise experiences go, and especially family cruise experiences, you can not go wrong with a Disney Cruise. Indeed, a cruise on the Brand New Disney Fantasy is an experience that will last several life times. You owe it to yourself to experience the pageantry and luxury of The Disney Fantasy.
