DH and I returned from a fabulous week on the Fantasy!
We were on the first SWDAS cruise- it was fun, but I will admit I was expecting a bit more? There were a few snags on that day (one being the kitchens weren’t prepared for how to plate the meals at dinner, and many tables had to wait a long time for entrees to arrive), but we had a good time. Definitely wouldn’t book JUST for Star Wars day, though.
Our servers were absolutely wonderful: Marcos from Brazil and Nicholas from South Africa. Best I’ve had in 6 DCL cruises. Super friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. We were a table of 5 adults, and we got some magic tricks and puzzles, lots of attention, etc.
We also had a great experience with the food in the MDR. DH and I enjoyed almost everything we had, and I was pleasantly surprised with the prep of my steaks and the temperature of the soup!
Our dining rotation was RAEAARE.
Cruise Director was Lee Hawkins, captian was Captain Marco.
I will say, I was really disappointed in the Disney shows, which bummed me out. The talent of the performers was top notch, but the shows themselves were hard to watch. Wishes was okay? Aladdin was my favorite, however the Genie in Aladdin was so obnoxious I wanted to leave. Believe was the most bizzare show I’ve ever seen? The Disney numbers were good, but they made no sense in the context of the “story.”
We had AMAZING weather for our January Western Caribbean cruise, which made the trip that much better.
I plan on doing a full TR, but any questions I’ll try to answer!
