Taking families on seven-night Western and Eastern Caribbean cruises, the Disney Fantasy takes after the Dream in many aspects – but with a couple of variations.

This sister ship, which set sail in 2012, features a 14-deck design for 4,000 passengers. On board, you’ll have a choice of 1,250 staterooms, three pools, multiple nightclubs and lounges, and dining options, but the character leans toward a classic ambiance – one reflective of the heyday of grand ocean liners.

Representing this aspect while clearly Disney influenced is the three-deck Atrium Lobby, where you’ll see a grand staircase, fluted columns, a chandelier, and a marble and stone statue of Mademoiselle Minnie Mouse. From here, murals, paintings, and Art Nouveau touches extend the character throughout the Fantasy.

Staterooms & Dining

Disney designs its facilities with families in mind – and particularly the staterooms. Featuring a nautical décor, spaces offer complimentary amenities and even the smallest are built for three to four people.

Standard spaces include Ocean View and Inside rooms, with the former possibly featuring a Verandah, and the highest tier are the Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite and the Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah. These upscale spaces, designed with both a master bedroom and living room space, represent the ship’s most lavish accommodations.

Dining, however, is divided between family restaurants and adults-only establishments. The Fantasy features:

Animators Palate: Dine in a family-friendly environment inspired by Disney animation.

Cabanas: This outdoor location for all ages lets you dine on fresh, made-to-order meals.

Enchanted Garden: Garden of Versailles-inspired décor sets the grand tone for this restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Flo’s Café and Preludes: When you want a quick bite to eat, head over to these two casual restaurants.

Palo: An adults-only option, this restaurant features an elegant setting for serving Italian cuisine.

Remy: Enjoy French-inspired cuisine in this adults-only romantic setting.

Royal Palace: Considered the main dining room, its décor takes influence from classic Disney films, all while serving up a range of culinary choices throughout the day.
