Let’s do a little Disney Cruise daydreaming, shall we?
Or perhaps you’re doing a little more than daydreaming… maybe you’re in the process of choosing and planning your first or next Disney Cruise! Either way, we’re going to chat today about the fourth ship to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet: the Disney Fantasy. Specifically, we’re looking at this ship’s capacity, and how it differs from Disney Cruise Line’s classic ships (the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder) and the Wish Class ships (the Disney Wish and the upcoming Disney Treasure).
Knowing the guest capacity of the ship may be one factor that helps you determine which ship is the best option for you and your traveling crew.
The Disney Fantasy is the sister ship to the Disney Dream, and joined the fleet in 2012. For a “just the facts” look at the size, the Fantasy is 1,115 feet long and 216 feet high. (For comparison, the classic ships, which are the smallest in the fleet, are 984 feet long and 171.5 feet tall. The Disney Wish — the newest ship in the fleet — comes in at 1,119 feet long and 221 feet high.)
So how does this impact carrying capacity? Well, the Disney Fantasy offers 1,250 staterooms and can carry 4,000 passengers! (Again, for comparison, the classic ships can accommodate 2,713 passengers. Meanwhile, the Disney Wish can also carry 4,000 passengers.) 1,458 terrific Crew Members maintain the ship and serve and entertain her guests. So, in total, the Disney Fantasy can carry 5,458 people.
Those 1,250 Staterooms are broken down into the following broad categories and percentages:
- 150 Inside Staterooms (12% of the total staterooms)
- 1,100 Outside Staterooms (88% of the total staterooms)
Of those Outside Staterooms, 199 are Ocean View (featuring porthole windows), and 901 are Verandah rooms (including 21 suites).
Sooo, what I’m saying is… I think there’s plenty of room for me on an upcoming sailing. 😉 How about you? Before we go…. here’s a DFB Video that might also help you know which Disney Cruise ship is ideal for you!
