It’s only been six weeks, but the Fantasy is in full swing. Here, take a look for yourself at this brand new sizzle video (I think that means “video clip” in marketing talk): And if you want in on that, just drop me a line and let me know.
So my old nemesis Irene – we meet again. Irene and I have a history, you see. It’s the age-old story of boy-meets-hurricane/boy gets tossed all over the Caribbean/boy regrets ever setting foot on cruise ship. We first met in October of 1999 when Amy and I and a group of our friends cruised on [...]
My one experience on the Disney Cruise Line was less than optimal. It involved tidal waves, Bahamian Voodoo Illness, roaming gangs of ruffians brandishing knives, Robin Williams, hurricane damage and many, many beautifully numbing seasickness pills. I will say the food was amazing, the ship was beautiful, the cast members were incredible and the captain [...]
A couple of quick notes from a passenger aboard the Disney Dream right now: First: “They screwed up our dining rotation -not happy. Also their computer system isn’t working so no one has room keys or charging privileges! Can’t wait to see how Disney gets us in our rooms…” Then a short time later: “Not [...]
For the first time in about 12 years I feel like going on a Disney cruise. Don’t get me wrong, the last time we cruised I thought the ship (the Disney Wonder) was incredible.

The Disney Wonder is canceling stops in the Mexican Pacific port of Mazatlan and others are considering it due to crime against tourists. According to an Associated Press report, the Wonder has dropped calls to Mazatlan from its seven-night Mexican Riviera tour and replaced them with an additional stop in Cabo San Lucas on the [...]
The newspaper I work for – the Boston Herald – is giving away a cruise on the new Disney Dream. I was the online managing editor there for six years, and during that time we got to give away several trips to Walt Disney World. The most fun thing was calling someone to tell them [...]
I’m obsessed with the movie “Caddyshack.” Specifically with Judge Smails and Spaulding. So in my perfect world, this is how the christening of the Disney Dream would have gone. There would be no Jennifer Hudson as the ship’s Godmother. There would be Spaulding, having nothing and liking it. Forgive me, for I own a copy [...]
