After sailing with all 5 Disney cruise ships, there’s only one I’d consider traveling on again

September 7, 20240
Disney Fantasy can hold up to 4,000 passengers.

The 1,115-foot-long Fantasy is larger than the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, which are both 984 feet long and have 11 decks.

However, Disney Fantasy’s separate family and adult areas make it easy to be entertained in a sea of up to 4,000 people. I love relaxing with a handful of guests in the cozy cafés and nooks or sunbathing in solitude.

I love the Fantasy-exclusive venues.
Disney Fantasy has both freshwater pools and splash areas.

Disney Fantasy has seven freshwater pools and water-play areas, including three family pools, two adult pools, and two splash areas. The only ship with more pools and water-play areas is Disney Wish, which has 10.

One of my favorite activities is the AquaDuck water coaster.
Ooh La La is an adults-only lounge themed around Champagne.

Disney Fantasy has five European-inspired nightclubs, lounges, and bars located in one area called Europa. The Tube is a London Underground-themed venue, Ooh La La is themed around Champagne, O’Gill’s is an Irish pub, and La Piazza has an Italian feel.

I also love the quiet but mesmerizing Skyline bar, which features changing “windows” of famous city skylines.

The Europa theme seamlessly flows from one venue to the next, and I love having the ability to barhop in one specific area of the ship.

I’m a fan of the ship’s more subdued dining experiences.
The Rainforest features aromatherapy showers, a steam room, and a sauna.

I always purchase a pass to the Rainforest within Senses Spa, which features aromatherapy showers, a steam room, and a sauna.

However, the Rainforests on Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream are the best because they each have two whirlpools set on a secluded ocean-view verandah. It’s arguably the quietest, most relaxing part of the ship.

Overall, Disney Fantasy is my favorite ship — for now.
Disney Fantasy is my favorite ship because it has the most appealing adults-only options.

Right now, Disney Fantasy is my favorite ship because it has the most appealing adults-only options. From one of the best Rainforest set-ups to Europa’s quintet of bars and lounges, I love spending time on this ship.

However, this could change with Disney’s newest ships, Treasure and Destiny, set to embark on their maiden voyages in December 2024 and November 2025, respectively.
