Yes, Fantasy got caught in some pretty nasty weather and sustained some damage to shops and open areas, but apparently nothing major. She is now back at sea on a scheduled cruise. You can find some video on cnn.com under the "iReports" section.
The good news is that no injuries were reported.
I saw the video. Glad no one was hurt and they were able to do a trun around trip so fast. Way to go Disney!:sail:
I saw the video, blog and pictures. Shocking! I feel bad for those passengers! No cruising during hurricane season for me! :blush:
Yesterday two ships sailed out of NY Harbor: one left early at noon and was heading south towards Sandy. :eek: Around 5:30, I heard the QM2 sound its horns as it sailed away, but apparently it's sailing East. A lively conversation ensued here about whether either one of us would sail during a hurricane (I was on the "there's not enough money in the world" side). Later I showed my brave one the video from the Fantasy. Kinda made my point for me.
I was on that cruise. It was scary at times, but I had complete faith in the captain
We were on a double-dip on the Dream during a hurricane. We missed our second dip at Castaway Cay and ended up in Nassau a day early but the captain pretty much sailed around it. Yes, it was sad we missed our second dip but we WERE on a Disney ship and I ended up using my rainforest pass for more hours than I expected. Yummy!
