The Disney Fantasy was dedicated in 2012 and is, for a few more months, the newest ship in Disney Cruise Line’s fleet. The ship accommodates up to 4,000 passengers in 1,250 cabins.
There are 10 different room types in 4 Main categories — Inside, Oceanview, Verandah, Concierge.
All staterooms are designed for families with thoughtful details like raised beds for extra storage; heavy, light blocking curtains that divide the main sleeping area from the kids’ sleeping area; huge closets; and split bathrooms!
All inside staterooms feature a Magical Porthole, providing a real-time view of the ship’s exterior while reflecting your stateroom’s actual location. Plus, you never know who—or what—might float by. The Magical Porthole can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch.
Oceanview staterooms feature one or two portholes, while Verandah staterooms offer private balconies to enjoy the view.
Concierge staterooms have the most square footage of any stateroom type, are located on the highest decks and are combined with exclusive and attentive concierge services and access to the private concierge lounge.

Cabana’s is also available for more casual dining.
