Hello! I have been dreaming and waiting to book a Disney cruise and I finally did it! I've only ever been on one cruise, 11 years ago on Carnival and I had a terrible cold the entire time so it wasn't the best experience. My DD has never been on a cruise, she'll be 8 when we go next summer.
I booked a 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy for Summer 2020.
I was so torn over itineraries but I am limited when I can travel because of work (School admin, I can travel the month of July, two weeks in December, one week for Spring Break...during the school year, I cannot take more than two days off in a row). I also looked at the Western Caribbean and Bahamas (all on the Fantasy).
I started reading reviews and blog posts and now I'm having doubts. One blog, in particular, mentioned multiple times how crowded the Fantasy is compared to the Magic and Wonder, to the point where they skipped deck parties and swimming. I have some crowd-induced anxiety. At Disney World, I have been during peak times (Christmas, Spring Break/Easter, Summer/4th of July, etc...) but I feel like I know how to manage Disney World. I know all the tips and tricks and have been so many times that I don't mind missing some things.
I don't want to say that this cruise is a one and done but it is easily double what I am spending to stay at Disney World for 8 nights this summer with dining.
Any advice, tips, tricks, etc?
Thanks in advance!
