Disney Fantasy Christening Night 3/1/12

We arrived at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal Pier 88 around 6pm.  My husband and I took a picture in front of the Fantasy Christening sign before we boarded the ship. When we boarded the ship we stayed in the atrium; champagne was flowing. Hors d’oeuvres were being served. Everyone was asked around 6:45pm to proceed to the Walt Disney Theatre.   

The Entertainment Showcase started with Neil Patrick Harris who was our host.  He sung spoofs of Disney tunes, danced and told jokes.  He really is an all-around performer.  Loved him!
  

Then we had another surprise…..Jerry Seinfeld was introduced.   He did a stand-up routine. Jerry is still very funny and relatable.  Loved him!

Heather Headley sung three Disney love songs. She originated the role of Nala in The Lion King, the Broadway musical. You can tell why she is a Tony Award Winner. Loved her!

After the show we moved back to the Atrium for the actual Christening.  Disney CEO Bob Iger, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs and Mickey introduced Mariah Carey as the Godmother of the Fantasy.  On the outside was Mariah Carey’s

husband Nick Cannon and Minnie Mouse.  They broke a bottle of champagne against the ship’s hull.

Around 8:15pm we were directed to our dining locations.  Travel partners dined in the Royal Court.  We enjoyed an Appetizer Sampler of Lobster and Shrimp, Smoked Salmon Tartare and Ahi Tuna with Avocado.   We had a choice of Entrees which included Mushrooms-Glazed Portobello, Crispy Roasted Duck Breast, Pan-Seared Sea Bass, Oregano Parmesan Crusted Rack of Lamb or the Angus Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Lobster Tail.  Everyone at our table chose the Beef and Lobster Tail.  It was tasty and cooked just right.  For dessert we had a Sweet Temptation Trio: Mini Lava Cake, Celebration Cake and a Tahitian Vanilla Crème Brulee.

After dinner we enjoyed the Europa Entertainment District until 11:30pm.  The Europa Entertainment District which is only for adults consists of La Piazza a Italian themed lounge,  O’Gills Pub the Irish bar,  Ooh La La a lounge with a French boudoir motif, Skyline a cocktail lounge with views of the world’s most famous cities. And of course…the Tube nightclub that is sure to get you up and dancing. 

We were treated to a royal night on the Fantasy! 

You will also be enchanted with the Fantasy!  To book your Disney Cruise Vacation now call Magical Travel at 1-866-207-8387.     

The Fantasy is on it's way to the United States!

The newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line® fleet is on its way home! Disney Fantasy set sail from Germany on Feb. 16, beginning a historic voyage across the Atlantic and stopping in New York and then down the Eastern Seaboard before reaching its homeport in Florida.  The Fantasy will be christened in New York on March 1^st.  Magical Travel will be there for all the Christening festivities. 

Check out ome of the new highlights found on the Disney Fantasy which include:

• Europa - a nighttime entertainment district exclusively for guests 18 and older that features sophisticated bars and trendy lounges inspired by the very best in European travel.
• A new, innovative show for the Animator's Palate restaurant where diners will serve as guest animators. During the "Animation Magic" show guests are asked to hand-draw a character of their own at the start of dinner. After an entertaining show featuring montages from Disney animated films and shorts, guests prepare for a whimsical finale moment where the guest-drawn characters spring to life and interact with characters from beloved Disney animated classics.
• At Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique aspiring young princesses and pirates receive the full fairy tale treatment with pixie-dusted and piratical makeovers at this very special salon.
• A new ship means new main stage entertainment at the Walt Disney Theatre:
• "Wishes" is a spectacular production debuting on the Disney Fantasy. This signature show is a 45-minute musical journey about three best friends who discover that the secret to being a grown up is staying connected to their inner child. Full-scale production numbers and special effects bring excitement to the stage as the cast of "Wishes" performs original songs and classic Disney tunes with a contemporary twist.
• New to Disney Cruise Line®, "Disney's Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular" takes the stage on the Disney Fantasy. During this Broadway-style production, guests laugh along with the wise-cracking Genie and the cast from the classic animated Disney film, "Aladdin."
• "A Fantasy Come True" is a 45-minute high energy, multimedia, musical production that follows one family's journey as they discover the amazing experiences and enchanting surprises that await them aboard the Disney Fantasy. Ultimately, they learn that the greatest experience the ship has to offer is the opportunity to make memories together as a family that will last a lifetime.
• "An Unforgettable Journey," is a 45-minute musical production that celebrates the extraordinary journey guests experienced onboard the Disney Fantasy. This farewell show highlights the memorable moments and distinctly Disney touches through the words and wisdom of the man himself - Walt Disney. Walt Disney quotes, audio and video clips connect the guests' experiences to the man who started it all.
• Guests can splash and play in the AquaLab - a brand-new water play area on deck 12, near the entrance to the AquaDuck water coaster. Families can frolic among pop jets, geysers and bubblers in this fun and fanciful 1,800-square-foot space. As the story goes, AquaLab was created by Donald Duck's nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, and features a variety of water "experiments" designed to drench the whole family.
• The Disney Fantasy features another new area for guests of all ages to cool off. On deck 12 forward, a wading pool with a fountain water feature, ample seating and lounge chairs under canopy offer a respite in the shade.
• In addition to Quiet Cove Pool and Cove Bar on the Disney Fantasy, a new adult-exclusive area offers a retreat on the upper decks for guests 18 and older. At Satellite Sun Deck on deck 13 forward a brand-new water feature called Satellite Falls is a circular splash pool with benches and a gently falling rain curtain that provides cool comfort. Around this upper deck, adult guests can soak up the sun in loungers or relax in the shade under a canopy.
• The Muppets make their debut on Disney Cruise Line in a brand-new adventure game aboard the ship. In "The Case of the Stolen Show," Guests set out on an interactive quest to help a cast of more than 20 Muppets find their missing show prop.
