I took this cruise with my husband, my thirteen-year-old grandson, and my ten-year-old grandson, all of us experienced cruisers. My husband and I have sailed on 40 cruises through the Baltic, Caribbean, Asia, the Mediterranean, and other locales, and this was our grandsons’ fifth Caribbean/Bahamas cruise, their third Disney.

Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Matthew, our seven-day cruise became a six-day cruise, and we arrived at a very disorganized Port Canaveral two days after the hurricane had moved on. There was very little damage at the port– some downed trees and two twisted signs. However, we were told that the toll booths for the parking garage had lost electricity and so there was only one hand-checked booth open. So we sat in line for an hour and a half, waiting til some genius decided maybe, just maybe, they could have three hand-checked booths. The stupidity was appalling. Our cruise was only about half full. I can only imagine how long we’d have been in line if we sailed with a full count of passengers.

As anyone knows who has sailed either the Dream or the Fantasy, these are classic, beautiful ships, decorated with taste and style. You pay more for quality and Disney produces a quality product. Read more
