CRUISE REVIEW OF THE DISNEY FANTASY
When Disney Dream debuted in January 2011, it was a watershed moment for Disney Cruise Line (DCL), which had been on the new-build sideline for 12 years. While maintaining the line’s distinctive ocean-liner silhouette, the ship was bigger, bolder and — let’s face it — better than its older sisters (Disney Magic and Disney Wonder). Despite all of its innovations and sleek design touches, there were areas onboard deemed lacking by some, particularly the top deck.
Enter Dream’s sibling, the 128,690-ton, 2,500-passenger Disney Fantasy (4,000 max occupancy), which debuted in March 2012. Substituting brighter art nouveau flourishes for art deco and homing in on Dream’s shortcomings, DCL has delivered a ship that seems light-years improved over its predecessor — though it’s only modestly different.
