by Eric Freilich | Oct 20, 2021 | Disney Cruise Line , Disney Fantasy

Are you practically a fish? Then you’ll love all the Disney Fantasy pools aboard your next Disney Cruise.

With so much to see and do on a Disney Cruise, sometimes you need a break from the almost endless activities that the Disney Fantasy has to offer. In addition to the entertainment , restaurants, and meet and greets, the Disney Fantasy also features several unique pools for you and your family to enjoy.

So just how many pools are on the Disney Fantasy?  There are eight pools on the Disney Fantasy, including options with water slides and even an adults-only swimmin’ hole.

The AquaDuck is unique to the Disney Fantasy and her sister the Disney Dream . Dubbed as a “water coaster,” the AquaDuck, located on Deck 12, takes riders on a journey through 765 feet of a partially enclosed/partially open waterslide .

Riders board a two-person raft for a thrilling ride around the ship, including through the Forward Funnel, before gently splashing down and exiting your raft. For added fun, ride at night to see multicolored lights along your journey.

Satellite Falls on the Disney Fantasy is the perfect spot to relax and cool off during your Disney Cruise .

Wade in the water while enjoying a gentle rain curtain , then soak up some sun (or moon) on the Satellite Sun Deck just a few steps away. Whether you’re enjoying the water or relaxing in a lounge chair, you’ll be treated to stunning ocean views on the top deck.

Nemo’s Reef on Deck 11 is made exclusively for young children to enjoy. The enclosed 1,500-foot play area features fountains and splash pads surrounded by colorful figures of Nemo and his friends.

Little minnows even have their own water slide, so they won’t feel like they’re missing out on riding one of the larger slides.

The Quiet Cove Pool is an adult’s only spot on Deck 11 where cruises can relax sans children. There are plush lounge chairs surrounding the pool and additional seating built into the pool itself.

Enjoy live music poolside or indulge in complimentary snacks at the nearby Cove Café throughout the day and night (until they close).

Mickey’s Pool

M-I-C yourself enjoying this family-friendly pool on Deck 11 featuring Mickey’s iconic face and a one-deck-high slide for kids ages 4 to 14.

Lounge chairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and they can quickly fill-up as the day progresses as this is among hte most popular Disney Fantasy pools. Children younger than 16 must have adult supervision at Mickey’s Pool.

Donald’s Pool

The “ Number One Duck ” (at least according to him) has his own pool on Deck 11. It’s a great alternative if you can’t find a spot at Mickey’s Pool.

Cast Members lead activities throughout the day for children—and children at heart—to enjoy. As with Mickey’s Pool, seating may be limited, and children younger than 16 must have adult supervision.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie are in charge of the mischief at the AquaLab on Deck 12 of the Disney Fantasy near the entrance to the AquaDuck.

The play zone features paint cans, showerheads, and geysers for little ones, randomly leaking pipes to plug, wheels and levers that pretend to control the AquaDuck, and Donald’s leaky boat, the Ducky Dinghy .

There’s also a wading pool where kids can cool off.

Funnel Puddle

According to Disney, the Funnel Puddle pool on the Disney Fantasy proves “ a little water goes a long way.”

Guests can pass the time sitting or splashing in the pool’s central fountain . Soak up some sun and enjoy the ocean breeze in this pool on Deck 12.

As with the other pools, you’ll want to check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App for operating hours.

Disney Fantasy Pools: Helpful Hints

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your time in the pools aboard the Disney Fantasy.

• Try to visit the pools while in port as they tend to be less crowded than on sea days.
• Remember to protect yourself from the sun by wearing, and reapplying, sunscreen throughout the day . Please choose a reef-safe option!
• Pack several bathing suits for your cruise so you aren’t waiting for one to dry to return to the pools.
• Review the “Know Before You Go” guidelines on each of the pool’s pages to make sure you know the rules.

Now that you know more about the pools on the Disney Fantasy, which one will you dive into first?

The 6 best cruise ship waterslides and watery fun zones

Call it the Battle of the Waterslides.

In the last few years, the big boys of the cruise industry — Royal Caribbean , MSC Cruises , Norwegian Cruise Line and Carnival Cruise Line — have been locked in a game of one-upmanship when it comes to waterslides and watery fun zones on vessels.

In addition to such over-the-top, new attractions as go-kart tracks and roller coasters , the brands behind the biggest megaresorts at sea have been packing the top decks of their vessels with even more over-the-top watery allures.

For more cruise guides, news and reviews, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Royal Caribbean, for instance, added an 800-foot-long "water coaster" to the back of its 3,386-passenger Navigator of the Seas just a few years ago. It's one of more than two dozen giant waterslides the line has added to more than half a dozen ships in the last seven years.

Royal Caribbean also plans a record six waterslides on its next new ship, Icon of the Seas, which is scheduled to debut in January 2024.

But as recently as early 2016, Royal Caribbean didn't have a single waterslide on any of its vessels.

MSC Cruises also has gone big with giant water parks in the past seven years, with as many as four waterslides on more than half a dozen of its newest vessels. Norwegian has loaded up its most recent ships with giant water parks, too — some have as many as five waterslides!

Not to be outdone, Carnival, an early adopter of waterslides on ships, has added sprawling water park areas with multiple waterslides to almost every vessel in its fleet.

A brief history of water attractions at sea

In the beginning, there was the pool. As watery cruise ship attractions go, it has long been the staple — something found on nearly every cruise vessel going back to the 1970s.

But as early as 1978, at least one line was spicing up its Lido decks with a little waterslide fun — little being the operative word. That's the year Carnival added a single slide into the pool on its 728-passenger Festivale — a slide so small it's now hilarious to think it was touted as an attraction.

Often cited as the first waterslide ever on a cruise vessel, the Festivale slide was of a sort that was found at backyard pools at the time. The cruise industry was still in its infancy, of course, and ships were orders of magnitude smaller than they are today. Festivale measured just 32,697 tons, about one-seventh the size of today's biggest cruise vessels.

Carnival, the so-called Fun Ship line, would go on to become the early leader in waterslides at sea. The 2,056-passenger Carnival Fantasy, which debuted in 1990, was the first cruise ship with a significant waterslide. It measured 115 feet in length.

Just six years later, in 1996, Carnival would make news with the unveiling of a 214-foot-long corkscrew waterslide on what then was called Destiny. (The ship currently sails as the Carnival Sunshine after being rebuilt in 2013.) At the time, Destiny was the biggest cruise ship in the world.

In more recent years, Carnival has gone into waterslide-building overdrive. The line has added full-blown water park areas with waterslides, watery play zones and other features to all but four of its 25 ships. All but one of Carnival's ships (Carnival Luminosa) now have at least one waterslide.

One of the Carnival water parks, on the line's 5-year-old Carnival Horizon, even has Disney-style theming revolving around Dr. Seuss characters.

Norwegian, MSC Cruises and Royal Caribbean only began going big with waterslides on ships in the past decade or so. Many of the newest vessels from the brands have massive water park areas. Some of the brands are retrofitting big waterslides onto older ships, too.

Additionally, family-focused Disney Cruise Line now has major water attractions on all its vessels.

Where you'll find the biggest waterslides at sea

If your idea of the perfect cruise ship is one loaded to the gills with waterslides and watery fun zones (plus all sorts of other over-the-top attractions), you'll want to stick to the biggest floating megaresorts operated by Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, MSC Cruises and Carnival.

At Royal Caribbean, that means the giant Oasis-class vessels , which include Wonder of the Seas — the world's largest cruise ship. At Norwegian, you'll find the biggest waterslides and water parks on the line's relatively recently built Breakaway Plus-, Breakaway- and Epic-class ships. At MSC Cruises, the new Seaside-, Meraviglia-, Meraviglia Plus- and World-class vessels have the line's big water parks.

Big lines that have steered clear of the water-park-at-sea trend include Princess Cruises, Holland America and Celebrity Cruises. Geared more toward couples than families and typically drawing an older demographic, all three of these lines have stuck to a more subdued feel for the outdoor areas of their ships. The top decks of vessels operated by Princess, Holland America and Celebrity still mostly revolve around traditional swimming areas with pools, hot tubs and lounge chairs.

Ready for a splashy, top-deck thrill? These are the most spectacular watery attractions at sea.

The Perfect Storm

Where you'll find it: Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas.

This isn't just one giant waterslide; it's a whole complex of waterslides, each one among the most exciting you'll find anywhere on the world's oceans.

The Perfect Storm is found on four of Royal Caribbean's massive Oasis-class vessels — Wonder of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas — as well as the smaller Liberty of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas. The complex includes two four-deck-high racer slides called Cyclone and Typhoon, where you can do side-by-side speed tests with your travel partner.

On the four Oasis-class ships, there's also a third, Champagne bowl-style slide called Supercell. It'll swirl you around a big basin before plummeting you "down the drain" into a plunge pool. On Liberty of the Seas, a third slide called The Tidal Wave sends you screaming down a steep hill on an inner tube to a nearly vertical incline. Zooming upward, topping out and dropping back, you'll get a blissful moment of complete weightlessness.

Note that Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas also has a waterslide area called Perfect Storm — but it's completely different. More on that in a moment.

The Blaster

Where you'll find it: Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas.

The Blaster is the Big Daddy of waterslides at sea. At 800 feet, it's the longest ever built on a cruise ship. Added to Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas in 2019, it's a seemingly endless stretch of yellow and orange tubing that winds around the back deck of the vessel like a snake.

A true sight to behold, The Blaster is so long because it's what's known as a water coaster. It features water jets that propel you up, down and forward — extending the ride — as you careen around the ship's basketball court and surfing simulator in an inner tube. At times, you go flying over the side of the ship, over open water (not that you have much time to take in the view).

Royal Caribbean has named the area on Navigator of the Seas where The Blaster is located the Perfect Storm — the same name used for waterslide areas on six other ships — but the area is completely different than what you'll find on the other vessels. In addition to The Blaster, the Perfect Storm area on Navigator of the Seas includes a headfirst mat racer slide called Riptide — the first of its kind at sea.

Where you'll find it: Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream.

Leave it to family-focused Disney Cruise Line to come up with the coolest watery family attraction at sea. AquaDuck is a water coaster, like The Blaster on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas, and is found on Disney's two Dream-class ships. But don't expect anything too white-knuckle. The ride is relatively gentle by water park standards, mainly because it's designed for kids of all ages (and their parents, who can ride along on inner tubes for two).

While AquaDuck is slightly shorter than The Blaster at 765 feet in length, it has a bigger presence, thanks to its prime location encircling the main pool area. If you're lounging up top, it's hard to miss the massive, clear acrylic tubing of the ride, which is held up by 46 giant white stilts.

In addition to AquaDuck, the two Disney ships with the attraction (Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream ) have a relatively small, kid-friendly waterslide next to the centrally located Mickey's Pool. Dubbed Mickey's Slide, it's held up by a giant Mickey hand, which is delightful. Both ships also have a watery play zone for toddlers called Nemo's Reef. Plus, Disney Fantasy has a watery fun zone with water jets, geysers and bubblers called AquaLab.

Note that Disney's newest ship — Disney Wish — has a water coaster attraction similar to the AquaDuck called the AquaMouse. The big difference: Riders will see animated shorts while riding up the ramp at the start of the ride.

Carnival WaterWorks

Where you'll find it: Nearly all Carnival ships.

When it comes to waterslides on ships, cruise giant Carnival is still the undisputed king. The Fun Ship line began adding them to vessels way back in 1978, and there's now at least one waterslide on every ship in the Carnival fleet — something no other line can say.

Indeed, on all Carnival ships, there's now not just a single waterslide but a whole water park area. Called WaterWorks, these areas vary in size and features from vessel to vessel, but they typically have one or two big waterslides, a watery play zone with interactive water features and a large continuously filling dump bucket that periodically soaks everybody within range.

You'll typically find the biggest Carnival water park complexes on the newest Carnival ships, such as Mardi Gras , Celebration and Carnival Venezia . All three have three waterslides — one more than most Carnival ships.

Aqua Park (Norwegian Cruise Line)

Where you'll find it: Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore.

Norwegian Cruise Line began going big with waterslides in 2010 when it debuted Norwegian Epic. And boy, did it go big! Norwegian Epic offers three monster waterslides, including the thrilling Epic Plunge — a 200-foot-long tube ride that ends in a swirling bowl. Epic Plunge is part of Norwegian Epic's Aqua Park, the first water park on a Norwegian ship. Norwegian has since added Aqua Parks to six more new vessels, including its biggest ship, the 4-year-old Norwegian Encore .

Norwegian's Aqua Parks vary in size and attractions from ship to ship, but some of them, such as the one on Norwegian Breakaway, have as many as five separate multistory waterslides. Yes, you read that right: Five waterslides on a single cruise ship!

On Norwegian Breakaway, the lineup includes twin free-fall slides that drop passengers nearly straight down several stories; two side-by-side twisting racer slides; and a family-friendly slide with a more modest drop. For sheer variety, the complex is hard to beat.

Aqua Park (MSC Cruises)

Where you'll find it: MSC Seascape, MSC Seashore, MSC Seaview, MSC Seaside, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Bellissima, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Virtuosa, MSC Euribia, MSC World Europa.

Fast-growing MSC Cruises has joined the waterslide wars in the last few years — and in a massive way. Each of the 10 ships the line has unveiled since 2017 offers a full-blown water park on its top deck that's packed with waterslides and other watery fun.

On North America-based MSC Seaside, the Aqua Park has four waterslides and a children's play area with interactive water features. The waterslides include two massive, 525-foot-long dueling slides that extend over the sides of the ship. The top of the Aqua Park on MSC Seaside is also home to the liftoff point for a zip line that soars 344 feet across the top of the vessel.

Other MSC Cruises water parks at sea include the winter-themed Polar Aqua Park on MSC Meraviglia, which offers a suspended-in-the-sky ropes course in addition to four waterslides. There's also the Aquaplay area for the little ones.

Two MSC Cruises ships — MSC Seashore and MSC World Europa — even have virtual reality waterslides that involve riders wearing virtual reality headsets as part of the experience.

In all, 14 of MSC Cruises' 22 vessels now have at least one waterslide on their top decks.

AquaDuck Water Coaster on the Disney Dream

Handout/Handout/Getty Images

Water slides are a dime a dozen on cruise ships, but the AquaDuck is the only water coaster on a cruise ship with the kind of drops and g-forces you would experience on a roller coaster. It is located on the top decks of the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy , which are two sister ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.

Circle the Top Deck

The 765-foot-long AquaDuck is elevated high above Deck 11 on tall stilts. The water coaster circles the ship in a transparent acrylic tube, with water jets propelling riders through uphill sections. The majority of the ride takes place in a clear tube, but a section of the ride is enclosed as it travels through the ship's forward funnel.

Ride Solo or With a Friend

Riders sit on rubber rafts that hold up to two people. Most of the ride takes place in a transparent acrylic tube, so riders can see outside. Riders must adhere to these rules:

• Kids must be at least 42 inches tall to ride the AquaDuck.
• Kids who meet the height requirement but are not yet seven years old must ride with another rider who is at least 14 years old.
• Kids must be at least 54 inches tall to ride alone.

Zoom Over the Ship's Edge

After leaving the loading area, the raft zooms 12 feet out over the edge of the ship and 150 feet above the water.

Take in the View

Because the AquaDuck's tube is clear, riders can see the ship's top deck and out over the ocean.

Sit Back and Enjoy the Ride

The AquaDuck's gentle slope lets riders enjoy a leisurely trip around the ship. After boarding, the ride takes just over a minute to complete.

Check out the Fun Below

While on the AquaDuck, riders can survey the top deck of the Disney Dream , with its two family pools, yellow slide at the Mickey Pool, shaded water splash area for little ones, and Disney movies on the big screen.

Wave at Family and Friends

 More fun facts:

• The AquaDuck uses about 10,000 gallons of water per minute.
• In the Edge, the tweens' lounge, several windows let kids catch a glimpse of AquaDuck riders as they zoom by.
• At night, the AquaDuck's lights are turned on for a colorful and different ride experience.

Come in for a Gentle Splashdown

At the end of the ride, the AquaDuck emerges from the tube and splashes down gently into a landing pool. You'll be nearly dry when you emerge from the raft.

The Disney Dream Aquaduck made its debut in January 2011 followed the Disney Fantasy in February 2012. The original Disney Cruise Aquaduck concept was the idea of Disney Imagineers Joe Lanzisero and Bruce Vaughn.

Disney Fantasy Aquaduck Video

This is a great video of the Disney Fantasy Aquaduck which gives you an idea of just what it is like to experience it.

The entrance to the Aquaduck is on Deck 12. Guests climb the stairs to Deck 16 which has the launch platform for the ride.

Lines for the Aquaduck can be long. Very long. A lot of the line is not in the shade so be aware that if you are in the hot sun you really should be wearing sunscreen.

There are 69 steps up from Deck 12. Often it is a slow climb! Once you reach the top you will wait until called by the Cast Member and then approach the raft.

We have tried many times and there really is no elegant way to get into the raft. They are built so that either two or one people can ride at a time. The best technique to get into the Aquaduck raft is to turn around and sit in it!

Disney Aquaduck Height Requirement

To ride the Disney Aquaduck you have to be at least 42″ tall. If you want to ride alone you have to be 54″. If children under 7 meet the height requirement, they have to ride with someone 14 and over.

The first part of the Aquaduck takes you over the water.

The see-through tube is positioned 12 feet out over the side of the ship and 150 above the water.

It all happens so quickly you aren’t particularly aware that you are above the ocean in a tube! You are traveling at 20 feet per second so you don’t get much of a chance to think about it.

The raft is propelled by 10,000 gallons of water per minute.

The rafts are at least 30 seconds apart to make sure that there are no collisions! There is a lifeguard at the top controlling the launch and one at the bottom to help you off the ride.

The whole Aquaduck ride is 765 feet long. From the time that your raft starts to the end of the ride is around 45 seconds. We have been on the Aquaduck many times and we think there is a slight difference in speed depending upon who you have in the raft.

If you want to go slightly faster on the Aquaduck, pick a lighter companion to travel with! Around two-thirds of the Fantasy Aquaduck is in the transparent tube, but some of it is enclosed.

If you suffer from claustrophobia this is probably an attraction to avoid. One of the portions, towards the end of the Aquaduck, is reminiscent of the lights in Space Mountain.

This is one of the best parts of the ride. The only problem is that you know that you are near the end when you reach that point. At the end of the ride, the splash is pretty mild as you have slowed down quite a bit by then.

There is usually a Disney Cast Member to help you out of the raft. Again, it’s not that dignified but just do your best.

Disney Aquaduck at Night

The Aquaduck is good to ride in the day, but you also have to ride it at night. The lights come on after dark and it is a very different experience.

If you ride the Aquaduck after the sun goes down it also means that you do not have to wait in line in the hot sun. The Aquaduck usually closes around 10 pm.

What are the best times to ride the Disney Fantasy Aquaduck? One of the best times is as soon as you board the Disney Fantasy or the Dream.

Most people are not organized enough to have packed their swimsuit in their carry on luggage. If you are prepared you can have several rides on the Aquaduck before most guests have even finished their buffet lunch!

The Disney Cruise Aquaduck really is an amazing attraction on the Disney Fantasy and Dream.

You should try it at least once – and then you will most likely be hooked! Will you be experiencing the Disney Fantasy Aquaduck on your next cruise?

Which Of The Five Disney Cruises Is The Best? Here's The Definitive Ranking

T here's just something special about Disney. Whether we're talking about the theme park's most iconic rides , its long list of highly-rated resort hotels around the world , or the brand's penchant for captivating storytelling and unforgettable experiences, it's safe to say that pretty much everything that Disney touches quickly turns to gold. Their top-ranked cruise line is no different .

The first iteration of Disney's Cruise Line set sail in 1998 under the name Disney Magic. One year later, the Disney Wonder took to the sea. Today, at the time of writing, the current Disney fleet includes a list of five enchanting ships: the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic, Disney Wish, and Disney Wonder. Coming in December 2024, a new vessel is set to join the crew: the Disney Treasure.

For travelers planning their own sea-bound adventure, it can be difficult to differentiate and ultimately choose between the five. After analyzing reviews, the cost-to-value ratio, unique amenities, each ship's design, and onboard entertainment options, we finally settled on our definitive ranking of Disney's cruise ships — all so you can choose which Disney cruise might be right for you .

Read more: Top Packing Strategies, Ranked

5. Disney Wish

Although there aren't any necessarily "bad" Disney cruises, the Disney Wish has come under fire from travelers and Disney fans since its official launch in 2022. Specifically, most reviews believe the ship has some pretty glaring issues in terms of spacing and overall layout — both of which make it incredibly difficult to get around. According to previous travelers, the ship — one of the largest of the Disney Cruise Line fleet — surprisingly only has two sets of stairs and elevators for everyone onboard. This, in turn, means there's always a crowd. It also means that adult activities, like nightclubs and lounges, are scattered around, so there is no dedicated adult-only zone, which ultimately muddles the experience.

When it comes to entertainment, however, the Disney Wish does a slightly better job at redeeming itself with four theaters, the kid-favored Oceaneer Club, three main restaurants (assigned on a rotational basis to passengers), adult-friendly bars, and more. As for the pools, some travelers say that these feel more like hot tubs because of their small size. And the water slides? Per online blogs, they're mediocre at best.

It's worth noting that Disney Wish is one of the highest priced of the Disney Cruises for not that much more value, aside from being a more modern vessel — according to reviews on Cruise Critic and Tripadvisor . As an example, Disney Wish offers three- and four-day itineraries from Florida to the Bahamas, with the ship's most affordable route — a three-night cruise from Port Canaveral — priced at $1,925 for two guests.

4. Disney Dream

Operating since 2011, the Disney Dream cruise ship is a strong contender in terms of amenities. Throughout its 14 decks, the ship boasts five main restaurants (including two that are adults only), theaters, bars and lounges, adult-only and kid-friendly pools, sun decks, and plenty more to keep travelers entertained. Nonetheless, some online reviews have expressed disappointment that the ship's dining experiences feel fragmented — leaving plenty to be desired in terms of themed dining.

Considered one of the most kid-friendly cruise lines, the Disney Dream is brimming with kid-focused activities — including daily princess meet-and-greets, movie-themed shows, character cameos, and a bustling kid's club. However, according to a recent discussion on the r/DCL subreddit , the ship's history of shorter itineraries typically makes it less desirable than its counterparts, since there's only so much you can enjoy with so little time — although it's important to note it has expanded itinerary options to include week-long and 12-night trips in Europe.

Lastly, in terms of pricing, the Disney Dream's rates vary depending on length and route. For example, a three-day trip to the Bahamas from Ft. Lauderdale will set you back around $1,700 for two people. Meanwhile, on the farther and pricier end of the spectrum, the Disney Dream's 12-night Norwegian Fjords and Iceland cruise carries a higher price tag at $8,565 for two.

3. Disney Wonder

Even though it's a smaller ship, one of Disney Wonder's main selling points is that — out of the five vessels currently sailing today — it's the only ship that offers Alaska-bound cruises, as well as trips along New Zealand and Australia. Given this, it's no surprise that the Disney Wonder often ranks in the top-half of fan-favorite Disney ships — especially for first-timers who want to get a feel of the experience before moving up to a larger ship.

Beyond the ship's unique destinations, some of the Disney Wonder's most notable amenities include three main restaurants (with rotational dining), three heated pools for when you're traveling to cooler destinations, nightly entertainment options, a prim and proper "Royal Court Royal Tea" for the little princesses and princes to enjoy, and even a nightclub for the adults who crave a party. As for dining, one of the highlights of the ship is the New Orleans-inspired restaurant, Tiana's Place. Not only does the restaurant serves some pretty delicious meals, but it also hosts nightly entertainment and its own mini-version of a Mardi Gras parade.

Tickets for the Disney Wonder start from $1,104 for a two-night cruise from Sydney to Brisbane for two passengers. Longer trips are also available — like a seven-night Vancouver to Alaska cruise for $3,424 for two, or a 10-night Hawaiian adventure for $4,013.

2. Disney Magic

The second-best ship on our list is the Disney Magic. After debuting in 1998, the ship has undergone plenty of updates and renovations to keep it modern and appealing — all while staying true to its original charm. Another one of the fleet's smaller vessels — with capacity for just over 2,700 passengers, compared to the others' ability to accommodate up to 4,000 (except Disney Wonder) — the Disney Magic isn't struggling to keep up with any of the larger (or newer) ships.

One of the ship's highlights is the AquaDunk — a top-rated water slide within the entire Disney Cruise Line fleet — which features a straight-down, three-story drop into the pool. Other amenities that make the ship worth your bucks include daily character meet-and-greets, nighttime entertainment (the ship's Cinderella-themed show is a must-see), and delicious dining options. Traveling with an adults-only crew? Disney Magic is ready to cater with bars and lounges, couples' games nights, and adult-themed trivia nights.

Price-wise, the Disney Magic offers trips that range from roughly $1,500 to just over $7,000 for two guests to either the Bahamas or other must-visit destinations in the Caribbean , including Mexico and Antigua. Specifically, a 4-night Caribbean cruise to Mexico will cost two travelers $1,534. On the pricier side, a 10-night cruise through the Eastern Caribbean will set you and a travel partner back about $7,359.

1. Disney Fantasy

Topping off the list, and coming in as the top-ranked Disney cruise, is the Disney Fantasy. After setting sail for the first time in 2012, the ship has quickly cemented itself a go-to for Disney fans and cruise lovers looking for a longer getaway. With six, seven, and 10-night cruise routes available through the Caribbean, the Disney Fantasy ticks all the boxes in terms of entertainment, comfort, and adventure.

Much like the other ships that belong to the Disney Cruise Line, the Disney Fantasy is equipped with plenty of onboard entertainment and amenities that'll make any trip unforgettable. From kid clubs to Broadway-style stage performances, meet-and-greets with beloved Disney characters, and both kid-friendly and adult-only pools, the ship is anything but boring. Plus, as an added bonus, the Disney Fantasy is also home to one of the best adults-only districts, Europa. With bars and eateries inspired by European destinations, it's a great escape for adult travelers who want some respite from kid-centric spaces.

Lastly, it's worth mentioning that — similar to the Disney Wish — the Disney Fantasy is pricier than other ships, with 3-night trips to the Bahamas starting from $1,996 for two people. However, the destinations more than make up for the cost. For example, the Disney Fantasy is the only ship to offer transatlantic journeys — like their 13-night cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida, to Barcelona in Spain starting at $4,859.

Our Ranking Methodology

There's a lot that goes into each Disney cruise ship. From themed restaurants to activities, entertainment, and accommodations, each of the Disney Cruise Line's vessels are designed with pretty much the same intention: to provide guests with a Disney-themed experience where, in Disney's own words, "magic meets the sea," no matter the route or destination. Nonetheless — and in spite of these shared goals — there are certain things that some ships do better than others.

In order to come up with our ranking, our primary focus was on the relationship between guest experience and value aboard each ship. Scouring through online reviews and fan forums, as well as the official Disney Cruise Line website, we created a list of each of the ship's pros and cons. From there, we compared these factors against the price of a ticket for two travelers for an inside cabin (typically the most affordable rate). This ultimately helped us find a correlation between how much guests were paying to travel on the ship and what they were getting in return.

We’re Live from Disney’s NEW Lookout Cay Private Cruise Port!

By Sara McOmber 1 Comment

Come with us to check out Disney’s NEW cruise destination: Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point .

This new paradise in the Bahamas was announced a while ago and finally opens THIS SUMMER! We got to check out the new area early , and of course we want to take you along with us. Let’s dig into the activities, port adventures, beaches, and FOOD offered at Lookout Cay.

What Is Lookout Cay?

Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is Disney’s new cruise port destination ! It’s located on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas, and it’s opening this summer (2024). This is Disney’s second cruise destination in the Bahamas (the other one is Castaway Cay).

The  Disney Magic, Disney Dream , and  Disney Fantasy cruise ships will all offer trips to Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point starting in the summer of 2024. Here’s a look at which cruises are going to stop at this new destination:

Disney Magic itineraries sailing to Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point:

• 3-night Lighthouse Point Preview sailing from Port Canaveral, FL (June 6th – 9th, 2024)
• 3-night, 4-night, and 5-night Bahamian sailings from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Disney Dream itineraries sailing to Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point:

• 3-night sailings from Fort Lauderdale, FL
• 4-night and 5-night Bahamian sailings from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Arriving at the New Port Destination

When you get to Lookout Cay, you’ll first find Mabrika Cove , which is the arrival point. According to Disney, “‘Mabrika’ means ‘welcome’ in Taino, the language of the Lucayans, who are considered the indigenous people of The Bahamas.” The pier is about a half-mile long, and takes about 15 minutes to walk.

And we’re off! Let’s start the 15-minute walk from the Disney Magic to Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point! 🥳 pic.twitter.com/hMml5pCiZ5 — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) June 7, 2024

Disney told us they made the pier lengthy to disturb less of the shoreline.

All ashore who’s going ashore!

And look at that gorgeous water!

Turquoise waters!

The Beaches

Lookout Cay has a few different beaches. You’ll find a family beach on the east side of the island, with activities and other amenities.

Separate from the main family area, there will also be a  peaceful beach with 20 premium family cabanas  available to rent (four of which are double cabanas for larger groups). Those double cabanas will also offer massage services for a little extra pampering!

Colorful cabanas are here at Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point! 🤩 These are beachside too! #LookoutCay #DCL #hosted pic.twitter.com/MiB7DDfYpI — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) June 7, 2024

Like Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay will have its own  adult-exclusive beach (north of the family area) called Serenity Bay . It will include a dedicated dining area and six private cabanas (which you can reserve), and it will be exclusive to guests 18 years old and older.

Let’s take a look INSIDE the family cabana! 🏝️🤩 #LookoutCay #hosted #mediacruise pic.twitter.com/whBwqGvUk8 — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) June 7, 2024

Dining at Lookout Cay

At Lookout Cay, you can grab a bite to eat at the market-style dining spot, True-True Too BBQ , a seashell-inspired restaurant with shaded pavilion seating. There is also the Serenity Bay BBQ in the adults-only area.

All drinks are served in stainless steel cups! pic.twitter.com/agNgN10PpP — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) June 7, 2024

Activities and Adventures

There is a LOT to do at Lookout Cay. You can stop by the Bahamian art and culture pavilion  —  The Goombay Cultural Center — where you’ll find special programs and local artists offering learning opportunities to passengers.

Triton’s Trumpet Stage  is a center for family entertainment. The name of the gazebo is inspired by both the king from  The Little Mermaid and one of the natural wonders found on Bahamian beaches: “a large, spiraled seashell commonly called ‘Triton’s Trumpet.'”

There is also an interactive family water play area  with slides, water drums, and more.  Toddlers  even have their own dedicated space.

Kids ages 3 through 12 have their own themed Kids’ Club on the island where they can play under the supervision of Disney Cruise Line counselors. There is a splash pad area inspired by The Little Mermaid  and a dedicated dining area.

Other activities on the island include:

• a covered gaming pavilion;
• a volleyball court;
• a gaga ball pit;
• watercraft and bike rentals; and
• nature trails that you can hike or bike

We’ve made it to the island! We’re immediately greeted beach day essentials and Lookout Cay MERCH! #hosted #mediacruise pic.twitter.com/hFl9HnDeg3 — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) June 7, 2024

There’s a Junkanoo-Inspired merchandise collection with a Loungefly backpack and ear headband that we think will be super popular!

Lookout Cay Minnie Ears!

It wouldn’t be a Disney island destination without Disney CHARACTERS! Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, and Chip ‘n’ Dale can all be found on Lookout Cay in NEW outfits.

Ok, Goofy! You’re just showing off! Check him out in his new #LookoutCay outfit! 📸🏝️ #hosted #mediacruise pic.twitter.com/KkLARGZIIG — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) June 7, 2024

These new outfits were designed by a Bahamian fashion designer named Theodore Elyett. The designer has created looks for all kinds of high-profile clients, like Miss Universe contestants, celebrities, brides, and even government officials.

That pier is a long bridge. I hope Disney has tram service to the island from the ship. Castaway Cay has a better first impression because when you exit the ship, you are stepping onto the island. The walk to the beach is tropical and scenic, with photo opportunities as you go, or you can use the tram service that Disney offers from the ship to the beach. But I still look forward to visiting Disney’s new island Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
