Ocean Discovery – Castaway Cay, Lighthouse Point & Puerto Plata/Amber Cove

About this cruise

This one leaves Fort Lauderdale on April 9, 2028 and spends 6 nights visiting Disney Castaway Cay, Disney Lookout Cay and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 3 stops with a breather between each one. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Disney Fantasy carries 2,500 guests across 14 decks, with the usual resort-style amenities. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 6-night sailing is a strong place to start.
