Are you excited to sail on the Disney Fantasy?
i went on the disney fantasy in december 2019 and after we got off my cousin cried
I've been on several cruises when I was young and although I enjoyed the port calls somewhat, I have to admit, it's really not as fun being cooped up on a cruise ship when you're young and active with very few activities to do. Most cruises seem only to care for adult relaxation and entertainment, so seeing something like this which has more emphasis on family and kids is something I wish I would have been able to experience when I was younger.
This is going to be our 8th disney cruise and our 3rd on the fantasy nobody beats the service and food on disney cruise lines. Our best investment was becoming DVC members 13 years ago. Disney rocks
OOOOOO i am going here this summer~! I AM EXCITED~!!!!!
Me 2!!!
+xVanillaCake [NO LONGER EDITING. CLOSED.] uh. i went there at the same time as u XD
+xVanillaCake [NO LONGER EDITING. CLOSED.] well, same summer
Hi um I got a little to say 1.the first cruiseto port in banna coast of hondorus, was norweigen jewel, and the only reason I know is because I was on it .

Going on nov 8 2013
Oh no :( I going on it soon :( I am so scared XD
+melany del toro dont be scared unless you run into some drama kids at edge... they go every year and they make so much drama like omg,,,
Im sure you watched titanic but if you go on a next cruise ship dont be scared :)
Is there a fitness center or something?
+xia xu Yes, there is a fitness center onboard.
looks like it's fun but to me it looks like the titanic waiting to happen
Just announced, Disney Fantasy wins the 2013 Cruisers Choice Award's for the following: Best in Large Ship catagory, Best in Entertainment, Best Large Ship Cabins and Best Service. GO DISNEY!!!!!
When you get off you will miss it
+TheFTWGaming its only been 2 weeks and i want to be back on it
You posted this video a few days after I had just gotten off The Fantasy for the first time! She’s a magnificent ship.
i have been on this ship, it rocks and casteway cay is really amazingly detailed and fun
They will all love it as will you! Excited for you all and bon voyage!
I'm going in 2017 don't know a month yet though loved this!
i think that the cruise looks fun i an going to take my kids
I'm going in July and I'm half nervous and half excited. Mainly because I'm a Disney freak.
CAY is pronounced KEY.
We got to drink human poop water on the Carnival Legend out of Tampa and my family got deathly ill and almost died from E-Coli.
Disney is the best. I am ashamed that our government allows the Carnival Cruise Line to operate in America.
I know this ship isnt big or really huge but.. Awesome! No matter how slow or small it is i still enjoy all the activities and more! Especially the family dining room my favorite!
There are no ice bergs in the caribbean, they no longer depend on crew members watching from a look out towers and there is now radar. I wouldn't worry about it.
I have never been on a cruise in my lifetime .what can I expect on this fantasy cruise and what is all included thank you
Taking my 6 children the week of Nov. 23rd, 2012. Yay!
If you follow the news at all, you know there have been several cruise ship outbreaks that led to truncated voyages over the last few weeks due to Norovirus. Some new records have been hit, with one ship reporting more than 700 cases. After returning to port, infected passengers were advised to go to local hotels and quarantine themselves until they were better.
If you've never been on a cruise, they are wonderful (sans an outbreak, of course). You get an entire vacation packaged with room, food, excursions, activities, entertainment, etc. in one, easy-to-schedule price- and you typically see a variety of amazing destinations in only a few days that would otherwise be a logistical feat (or nightmare) to schedule on your own. I say that because I'm a big fan, so this post isn't intended to deter you from a cruise. It might lead you to do a little more research on the cruise line you choose, however… and hopefully save you a virus.
Crisis Communications in Full Swing
After the first outbreak was reported, I actually communicated over social media with one woman who was on the ship with the largest number of cases. She said the staff were standing in front of the buffet lines with a pump bottle of hand sanitizer, and other staff members were spraying and wiping a sanitizing chemicals wherever they could. They looked calm on the outside, but it was clear they were all a bit panicked on the inside... they just didn't know what else to do.
Then I saw classic PR crisis communications in full play (and I can't blame them): the cruise line brought in a solution for spraying sanitizer, and posted an official response with plenty of pics next to the new machines and the company providing the services. And yes, that's what Level4 Bio offers (it wasn't us… yet!), but there are some big differences… which I'll come to in a bit.
So What is Norovirus, Really?
In laymen's terms, it's the winter vomiting bug, and a common cause of diarrhea (gastroenteritis). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Noroviruses cause 19-21 million infections, 56,000-71,000 hospitalizations and 570-800 deaths every year in the United States. Norovirus infection is sometimes misnamed "stomach flu", however, Gastroenteritis is not associated with flu, a respiratory infection.
Norovirus infection outbreaks are more likely to occur in crowded or closed communities, such as cruise ships, long-term care facilities, prisons, overnight camps and dormitories - places where the virus can spread rapidly from human-to-human.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, the most common causes of human norovirus infections are contaminated foods, shellfish, ready-to-eat foods that were handled by infected workers (salads, ice, cookies, fruit and sandwiches), or any food contaminated with the feces or vomit of an infected person.
And What Are the Cruise Ships Possibly Missing?
I saw several articles before the holidays commenting that this might be a tough virus winter… but ships are being hit pretty hard… imagine 700+ people on a self-contained vessel all vomiting and chained to the commode. There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Cleaning staff are entering rooms, cleaning as best they can, but spraying and wiping with rags, which can often cause more cross contamination and spread the virus further.
As far as I can discern (and from my exchanges with passengers), they are using hand sanitizers, and some other sanitizing chemicals (possibly water-based) and spraying / wiping high traffic areas. I've watched videos on this new sanitizing spray service that one cruise line is promoting and while spraying their sanitizing chemical, they have to put large trash bags around TV's and other electronics.
I also happen to know their chemical is extremely noxious, and not safe for anyone to be around soon after a service. I would like to warn that cruise ship, but I'm not able to reach anyone to get a message into the right person. Trust me, I've been trying. They might be trading one problem for another. And clearly from that company's own promotional videos, they can't sanitize machines, metals or fine electronics… which on a cruise ship, equates to a lot of areas that are likely being completely missed, but that are high traffic areas:
Slots / gaming machines in casinos
In-room electronics such as phones, TVs
TVs and phones in public access areas
Buffet tables and food-warming heaters
Entire kitchen facilities
Computers and control machinery in staff areas
Elevators and staircase rails
Room doors and electronic key entry devices
Metals such as vents, fans, doors, etc. in common areas and public access restrooms
and probably much more
Many viruses prefer warm areas, so electronics are a common breeding ground and therefore a common transmission point. And with so many people in close quarters and roaming the same acres of ship as 2000+ other passengers, there's an endless list of places where noxious, water based chemicals simply cannot do an effective job.
Clearly, much is being missed.
The Bigger Picture
Hand sanitizers are a very small part of the solution and clearly in all of these latest cruise ship scenarios, weren't terribly effective in containing the virus. And we've been posting social media and notes to the CDC for years, yet they still recommend hand sanitizers, and this:
Clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces
After throwing up or having diarrhea, immediately clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces. Use a chlorine bleach solution with a concentration of 1000-5000 ppm (5-25 tablespoons of household bleach [5.25%] per gallon of water) or other disinfectant registered as effective against norovirus by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
To have an effective infection control protocol, you need to sanitize entire areas - not just where passengers are 'expelling.' The operative part is highlighted in red… "Use a chlorine bleach solution with water…" This isn't an EPA / green solution. You can't put chlorine or noxious chemicals into close, crowded quarters like a cruise ship (or anywhere, in all honesty) or risk them going into the ocean.
The real solution is the last part of their recommendation: "OR OTHER DISINFECTANT" - the problem is, people don't know what else is available that can address an entire cruise ship from floor to ceiling, top to bottom and everywhere in between. And a solution that can completely saturate metals, machines and fine electronics without damage or corrosion.
An Alternative to Consider
It's our blog, so yep - we're going to say it. Here are some great reasons why the cruise ships should give us a look:
We can completely saturate metals and fine electronics absolutely anywhere (and any material, for that matter) without any damage or corrosion.
Our solution is lab tested to effectively kill a long list of viruses and bacteria including Norovirus on any surface.
Our sanitizing formula is EPA approved, and our machines are FDA registered.
Our patented technology atomizes our chemical formula and dries in minutes - leaving areas clean and ready for almost immediate use.
There are absolutely no noxious chemicals, no rinsing, no wiping, no chlorine bleach or other harmful chemicals that are harmful to people or the environment.
We started Level4 Bio to help prevent outbreaks and save even 1 life from the often devastating effects of harmful pathogens. My sincere hope is that many people read this and pass it on, and ideally, it gets to the right decision makers at the cruise ship companies so they can consider an alternative, since clearly the current sanitizing techniques are not quite doing the job.
I welcome your comments, and if you're headed on a cruise soon, I wish you a safe and healthy voyage!

You made me read all of that just to know it was an ad.Thanks.
ich liebe dieses schiff ich habe mal eine kreuzfahrt auf diesem schiff gemacht es ist so cool das schiff ist richtig schön ich habe es genossen
I think you'll find 'Disney' is pronounced 'Disley'.
The Disney cruises look great except as an adult, they look kind of boring to me. I know it's mostly about relaxing, drinking, and dancing for parents and such, but then there's the adults like myself who want more fun, energetic, and interactive activities and definitely more Disney themed things, not just the scenery. That's why it looks WAY more fun in the kid and teenager parts for me. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that I wish they'd have an Oceaneer's Club and Lab for adults.
The dude sounds like David Hayter from Metal Gear Solid
I mean like the boat
Very nice. It's like the saying... when you black ,you will never go back. WHEN YOU DISNEY , you do not want any other cruise line.
+Claire Macaro When you go disney you never go back
So true I went on a carnival Cruise and especially as a child I came back and I could barely compare how much better the Disney cruise is
I Miss is soo much
I was trying to figure out how is the Fantasy different from the Dream?
+Valerie Vargas You can view my newly posted Disney Dream review to compare: ua-cam.com/video/6cvfd4h3hJA/v-deo.html
+Valerie Vargas Their is not much difference
Valerie Vargas the deisne is a great day to be a good day to be a great day to be a good day to be a great day to be a good day to be a great day
I really want to go on there
Me too
In really want to go there
oh cay?
Hey pop I might go to the fantasy is the seven night cruise too long
2 staterooms on royal Caribbean is $4,027
i went to that cruise it was amazing!!! i love disney and mickey mouse i am from venezuela 11!!!
I went on this last summer. Man I miss it so much!!
super video from paris FRANCE
Thanks so much!
Kimberleespuppies, that was the day before my Dad's birthday!
I went on one of these trust me you would never want to leave
Now I want to go on a Disney cruise I've been on 4 cruises
Going on May 17th. ONE MONTH LEFT I'M SO EXCITED!
OMG I went May 17 i might have saw you
Did you ever go to a club like Edge or Vibe??
emilyclaycreations No Im 10 But i went to Edge for a sec then they kicked me out lol
I'm going in the summer, but I'm really scared... I feel like that huge thing shouldn't be on the water. What makes it so it stays afloat?
Emory Moench A mathematical balance between the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy. It seems like steel shouldn't be able to float, but it's scientifically possible and very safe.
+Emory Moench It's this thing called a boat.
k thanks
+Emory Moench You're welcome!
Oh no :( I going on it soon :( I am so scared XD
I will be going in 2016 in April I love the videos
Thanks! Bon voyage!
+kolten monroe Which departure in April? We're headed out on the Fantasy on April 30th.
I can't wait to go again in December
There's no casino?!?!! What?!??! Bull
Hi, i am thinking about going on this cruise. Can anyone who has been on it tell me if donalds pool is really small. Is it really crowded a lot? Also, which would you say is better, eastern or western carribean? Thanks!
Thanks for your question! Donald's Pool is about the same size as any other cruise ship's pool, and it does tend to get busy on sea days. As to a preference for western or eastern itineraries, it's really subjective. Either route with Castaway Cay is a winner! Thanks again!
Ive Been On and Donald's Pool size is ok but it can get really crowded.
Donald pool is crowed and in only did eastern it great but St Maartan was scary
Well,I'm going on an eastern carribean cruise and st.marttain is replaced by san juan.
I did the Western. Grand Cayman was my favorite stop and Cozumel was not too bad either. Costa Maya on the other hand was pretty sketchy away from port. Armed check points. The port area is fine, but I don't think I would ever leave on an excursion away from there again.
this summer we make a trip from barcelona to san juan (puerto rico)
Is there a stop on castaway cay?
Sry for my bad english ^^
Your English is great. Unfortunately, that itinerary does not feature Castaway Cay as a port-of-call. Bon voyage!
oh thanks :D
Oh :( But i think it was a great trip too ! :D
Yes, you will still have a great time!
Yes
Celi Na I can speak spanish
Im going in 2014!!
Going in a week!!!
I want to go
Awesome!!!!
A 4 night Bahamas cruise is $5,266
Must be a special edition cruise. Our family's going on our 5th cruise on the Fantasy and it's only 4700. And it's a 7 day
Nick Lee wow, our family of 3 are going on july 2015 and we are paying $6,890, and our friends (a couple) are paying more than $4,000 how did you get that price and on what dates??????

We have always booked on the cruise ship. I believe it's 20% off and only a 10% first payment instead of the normal 20%

Hi
i love this video
Thanks so much for the feedback!
it's pronounced castaway KEY, just saying. I've sailed Disney 4 times and it strongly annoys me when people pronounce it how it is seen
You are indeed right. We made the common mistake. We won't next time.
Manton Fain Goodness, don't you have anything else in your life to STRONGLY annoy you?? How petty!! You must have areal dreamy life, is that is your annoyance!! Don't pick on the video maker!! What do YOU do to help the public here learn about Disney?
