Ahoy and welcome aboard, Louise! There is so much to do on the
Disney Fantasy, and I love the days at sea with time to explore all she has to offer. Well, I should say “almost all,” as even after many cruises on the Disney Fantasy there is still more I have not yet done.
Let's start with
Onboard Activities. The Disney Fantasy has live shows in the evening, deck parties, pools, and
Goofy's Sports Deck. A family favorite is the
Aquaduck, a fun water slide that goes out over the ocean. Disney Cruise is the only cruise line that has fireworks at sea. You can enjoy the pirate deck party on decks 11 or 12, and many of your sail-mates will be decked out in their favorite pirate attire.
The Fantasy is a gorgeous ship. She also takes her passengers to amazing destinations. You can see what
Port Adventures are generally offered based on your destination. You can search by areas of interest and activity level. Once your booking window opens, you can go to
Disney Cruise Line >> "Already Booked" in the top navigation >> "Book/Manage Cruise Activities" to see and reserve both Onboard Activities and Port Adventures for your cruise.
Onboard Activities you can reserve include amazing experiences for adults, including
Senses Spa & Salon,
beverage tastings, and adult-exclusive dining at
Palo and
Remy. For the kids, there is
Royal Court Royal Tea and
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. As a mom of boys, I've not had tea with princesses, but we always make sure to book a time for the Virtual Sports Simulator on Goofy's Sports Deck. For a small charge, you get to spend a half hour playing virtual sports, such as soccer (or, football to the rest of the world) with penalty kicks against Goofy as keeper. Just a note, if you choose this activity, it is assigned to one person in your traveling party, but it is family fun! You are all welcome to play and watch.
One thing I highly recommend is downloading the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. Once you are on board and connected to DCL WiFi, you can find all of the onboard activities available. I take advantage of the little heart feature to select things of interest and get reminders from the app when it gets close to that activity beginning.
I hope you have a magical time on the Disney Fantasy! Please come back to
planDisney with any other questions you have!
Bon voyage!
