Disney sails to victory in Cruise Critic poll

Posted on 19:33 by john mical
Disney's newest cruise ship, the Fantasy, sailed to top honors in the 2013 CruiseCritic.com Cruisers' Choice Awards released this week.

The Disney Fantasy
The Fantasy scored the top rating for best overall large ship, plus best cabins, entertainment, public rooms, service and best for families. Disney's Dream placed first for best shore excursions, thanks to the private Castaway Cay island.

While there are more than 100,000 reviews on the Cruise Critic website, this year's winners are culled from reviews posted in 2012, CNN reported.

Like so many large cruise ships, the Fantasy has two theaters, one for movies and one for live original productions. It also has a spa on board. Its youth-oriented areas divided by age, and adults can get away from the hubbub at a number of adults-only areas, including a quiet pool.

Despite its nine restaurants, the Fantasy was edged out in the best dining category by two Celebrity ships, the Reflection and the Solstice.

"Disney has done a great job at expanding without losing what makes it unique: characters and Disney-style entertainment," Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor of CruiseCritic.com, told CNN.com. "You can have multigenerational groups because they're providing something for every generation."

The fourth ship in Disney's fleet, the Fantasy launched in March of 2012. The ship is capable of carrying 4,000 passengers on 14 decks with and 1,458 crew, according to Disney.
