so just got off the fantasy for my families first disney cruise. well i do have to say it was the best cruise we have ever been on overall. the boat was in perfect condition and our room was real big 6104. loved the double shower bathroom part great getting ready. Dining was awesome we got 3 nights in Animators pallet we also were table 82 we were apart a larger group of 9 so we got the middle table at royal court and Crush talked to our family first or it seemed that way. the food was amazing there were a few misses here and there we felt the burgers were god awful but that was about it. we were not used to how the ran the buffets compared to other cruises just had a learning curve tried to take my DD to the buffet at 6pm before dropping her off so we could go to Palo but it was not what i thought it would be....no worries..PALO was off the charts awesome and for the 30 i think its well worth it.
Now some things we did not like.....first i think the family pools are too small and kids just sit in there all day and watch movies i get it that is fun for a kid BUT i know its just a bathroom for them at least 2 times they had to shut them down for poop and clean them in the middle of the day. i thought that was real gross. second the middle of the ship was always insanely busy like needed a traffic cop. also the shops had awful stock i swear they had no LG or XLs for any men's clothes also my wife had a hard time finding her sizes also. this bothered me considering you have a captive 4200 people on board would OBV have a lot of money to spend. Now none of the Negatives are real negatives but just things we noticed.
SO will we go on another. Not sure maybe in 3-5 years i am having a hard time with the overall costs. since we are DVC members we felt the cruise did replace a park week. ALSO we sat down and looked into doing a 3 or 4 nighters next june on the dream and prices were well over 3k i was like i can pay cash for a room at the yacht club for the week. SO taking money out of it this was the BEST CRUISE VACATION we have ever been on AND CASTAWAY CAY is our favorite place on earth.
