European Disney Cruise Boarding Day! Rome to Greece on Disney Fantasy

hey cruisers I took a last minute trip to Rome to board the Disney Fantasy and it is boarding day for this 7day cruise to Greece and guess what i am sailing solo yep just me myself and all the Disney magic so if you ever wondered what it’s like to cruise Disney as an adult with no kids until come along hi my name is Carlen i work a 9 to 5 but travel the world as if I don’t this is my channel CC where I share how I balance a thriving career while maintaining a travel lifestyle and that was I left for my international flight the day before and it landed the day of my cruise thankfully there were no delays but I took American Airlines from DC to New York and then onward to Rome for 8 and 1/2 hour ride it was smooth sailing and we landed to Rome Fumcino on time [Music] after landing at the Fumuccino airport I headed straight to the Disney Cruise Line shuttle it was only $69 which I pre-booked through Disney and it was a stress-free way to get to the port in Chaktia the ride is about 60 minutes and they take care of your luggage too so solo travelers this is honestly one of the easiest options you don’t have to think about a thing after an hour we got a glimpse of the ship and it was finally time to board Disney Fantasy all righty so here inside of the cruise terminal welcome all the guests you have your different levels of you have concierge check-in will be that first one there then you have all your castaway club levels here um the concier student area will be behind you from the elevator steps and this is a lovely waiting area here checking at the terminal was smooth and efficient there is even a place that you can buy your bottles of wine should you need them early you get early boarding um whenever you purchase the airport transfers and even when traveling alone the crew made everything feel super welcoming i even got to spot Disney heading up the gang way so look out for her um and then it was the moment that I was waiting for which was to hear my name called as a solo traveler here’s a tip when it’s time to call your name just give them your first name you don’t have to say your last name family that’s just weird so give them your first name so you’ll hear them introduce me as me carlen [Music] is that you
what’s your name what’s your first name
carlen thank you okay we’re here at Pilot for lunch skipping that buffet crowd i still may sneak up to cabanas to get some crab legs but here’s the menu at this pilot i know some people feel weird about eating alone on vacation but honestly I love it you get to savor every bite enjoy the atmosphere and people watch like a pro oops mixed salad the raspberry red this is the gumbo the gumbo is very red but let’s see what it tastes like the gumbo tasted like a tomato soup with piece of chicken and shrimp in it this wasn’t my traditional gumbo um I would not order that and the lady didn’t recommend it so I don’t know why I ordered it but my steak is huge it’s covering basically the whole play area sheesh i am trying to stay awake but I feel like this is going to put me down it’s like cooking and cream cheesecake [Music] all right I am here in my cabin and we have because this is my second Disney cruise that makes me a silver member of the Castaway Club which is their loyalty program i get a couple gifts and you get to see me unwrap them all right first we have this lovely lanyard is it two oh it’s just one it feels like it was two strings okay this is the lanyard little notch here to slide it out if you need to and you can hook it like this not sure why the two oh this snaps behind your neck really quality and then we have this big bad boy which I’ll be getting a lot of use out of this is the Castaway Club tote bag and of course it would not be boarding day without a quick tour of the cabin i was placed in the deluxe family veranda cabin so here is a quick glimpse of what this space looks like and of course Disney does really good job of just making this space feel warm and accommodating with compliments such as you know nice comfy blankets and deep plush colors so this space was the perfect venue or area for me to be in to spend 7 days as a solo cruiser i could either stay outside on my veranda and read or I can leave the commerce of my cabin and go upstairs but either way I knew I was going to have a relaxing experience feel free to search my channel for the full balcony cabin tour for this deluxe verand estate room after getting situated in my cabin it was time to head up to the Leo deck well I did mustard drill and then it was time to head up to Leo deck for the iconic Disney Sailaway Party [Music] this bash featuring your favorite Disney characters really gets you in the mood for the holiday or your vacation as us Americans like to call it oh my [Applause] With the initial blast of that iconic horn we were off for our 7day Greek owl vacation all right everyone after the saila away party I explored the ship a little bit more just to get familiar with all of the areas i was really impressed by how easily it was to navigate the Disney Fantasy if you want to be close to the adults only areas of the ship I suggest you pick a cabin towards the aft after freshening up it was time to check out the evening activities i circled a few things that I liked in the navigator’s app um and still continue to explore the ship i didn’t know if I wanted a quiet evening on my balcony or an a drink in an adult lounge such as La Piaza i ended up checking out La Piaza and then it was onward to dinner and I had the early seating [Music] la Piaza Bar had live entertainment every evening however it was time to get to the the main show for the evening which is dinner which Disney does such a great job at food and tonight’s meal was in Enchanted Garden which is such a beautiful venue as a solo cruiser they put me at a shared table with other solo cruisers and I decided to stay pl put in place um some people would change their seats but I enjoyed the group that I was placed with it was good to have some good conversation at the end of long days out at ports but here is what I had the fish was pretty tasty i would say that was the star of the menu but then it was the Oh and these scallops weren’t bad either then it was time to get a pleasant surprise which was Mickey made an appearance which some people say this was a change of pace from previous Enchanted Garden dining experiences [Music] this first day on Disney Fantasy was absolutely magical the ship was beautiful the cruise was amazing and I felt completely at ease whether you’re traveling with a group or flying solo like me Disney knows h how to make you feel right at home stay tuned for the rest of this series where I’ll be highlighting what are some adults activities on Disney fantasies and exactly what to do on these Mediterranean sailings in port this is S with C thanks for traveling with me like comment subscribe and I will see you in the next video [Music]
