No Plans, No Kids, All Fantasy: Beth’s Last-Minute DCL Escape

In this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re joined by our friend Beth, who’s fresh off a rare and totally spontaneous sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy. Booked just one week out, this was Beth and her husband’s first time cruising Disney without their kids—and they took full advantage of the chance to slow down, sleep in, and do… almost nothing.

From grabbing an Uber at the Orlando airport straight to Port Canaveral, to skipping excursions in Nassau, to casually stumbling into trivia glory (and a surprise guest-host moment), Beth shares what made this short-notice cruise one of their most relaxed and enjoyable DCL experiences ever.

We’re talking quiet Pirate Nights, a disappearing stateroom number, rotational dining as a party of two, and why the Fantasy might be the perfect ship for those looking to leave the plans—and the pressure—at home.
