Ahoy, Lanning!
Recently, Disney Cruise Line announced that its "
Very MerryTime Cruises" will begin on November 14, 2015, on the Disney Fantasy. This means that your cruise in 2016 would most likely be one of the first holiday cruises for the year. Typically, the holiday cruises are announced during the summer, so be sure to keep an eye on the DCL website.
It looks like the itinerary you are considering is an Eastern Caribbean Sailing, with three full days at sea! That will be such a fantastic cruise, I absolutely love a day at sea. Be sure to head up to Goofy's Sports Deck to play some mini-golf and watch the Daily Navigator for fun family activities like Disney Trivia or gingerbread house decorating. You can also inquire at Guest Services if there will be a galley tour available for adults, this is a very interesting experience.
I hope this helps with your cruise planning. Please come back and visit us again with more questions before you set sail on the gorgeous Disney Fantasy.
Happy Cruising, Tracy V.
