Today we took the bus from Bremen, Germany to the Port of Bremerhaven to board Disney Fantasy. As we drove through port, we came around a curve in the road, and out of the dense fog the Disney Fantasy appeared. The first glimpse of our gorgeous new ship was a moment my family and I will always remember. Once on board we settled into our staterooms and started checking out our brand-new ship. She is beautiful in every aspect, and we can’t wait to get started on our adventure crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

The sendoff for Disney Fantasy from the people of Bremerhaven was nothing short of spectacular. As we pulled away, the dock was lined with people standing in the cold, waving lighted torches and cheering. Then over the loud speaker, they played songs from Andrea Bocelli and Frank Sinatra, wishing us a safe voyage to New York. As we got underway, the city unleashed a fireworks display worthy of a Disney theme park! We’re now on rolling seas and headed to the Azores, then New York.

Until tomorrow, bon voyage!

With the Disney Fantasy Package, guests go gaga over tutus! The frilly tutu in this outfit has subtle Disney Fantasy and Disney Cruise Line logos printed into the gold ribbon around the hem. The fitted graphic T-shirt has a stylish jewelry design and the outfit is topped off with a poufy headband.
