Disney’s latest ship the Disney Fantasy was recently christened in New York City. The godmother: Mariah Carey. I’m not sure why.

Maybe in person its better but the colors are disgusting. Also, what’s with the peacock feathers in the carpet? Anybody else think this looks very 70’s-ish?

Here’s some non-Concordia related new for you.

Meyer Werft in Germany have launched the Disney Fantasy. She successfully transited the Emms River and is currently moored in Bremerhaven for the last of her outfitting. It will also serve as her port for her Seatrials in the North Sea that should get underway shortly.

After successful completion, and once Meyer hands the vessel over to Disney, she will sail to the Big Apple to be christened. For the first time ever, Disney will sail into New York harbor. Scheduled to arrive Feb.28, the ship will will then be christened March 1st. March 2nd, she will sail to Port Canaveral . The maiden voyage is scheduled for March 31st.

Disney also announced their 2013 deployment. The Disney Magic will return to Europe and sail 4,7, and even 12-night Mediterranean routes. The Disney Wonder will sail Disney’s first routes out of Miami. She will alternate 4&5-Night trips:

Five-night Caribbean to Cozumel, Castaway Cay

Five-night Caribbean to Grand Cayman, Cozumel

AND

Four-night Bahamas to Key West, Nassau, Castaway Cay

Disney Fantasy Meets Water for the First time in her life

OOPS: Wrote Dream in the headline. Corrected it now.

Looks like the damage wasn’t too bad from the supposed water damage.

What’s the Disney Fantasy doing in New York?

That’s the million dollar question. CIN found that the Fantasy is scheduled to me berthed at the Manhattan west side piers from February 28 to March 2, 2012. This coincides with her Port Canaveral home port arrival 4 days after.
This short stay in the City would would make a perfect christening event. Or it could be Disney sending the ship as sort of a preview of things to come when the Disney Magic will be arriving there this summer.

[UPDATE] Disney Fantasy vandalized in Shipyard.

Greg — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 01:00:00 +0000

From the Captain Greybeard Blog:

A spokesperson at Disney Cruise Line’s Florida HQ said the cause of the water “intrusion” was still unknown and claimed it would be wrong to suggest – as some reports in Germany had – that sabotage or vandalism was a factor. However, given the standards of workmanship at the yard, it is almost unthinkable that defective workmanship could be to blame, and if it were, that would have to be an even greater cause for concern.

This really happened:

obviously not it

Disney Cruise Line’s newbuild, Disney Fantasy, was the victim of significant vandalism while under construction at Meyer Werft, according to German media reports.

Various water valves were allegedly left open on Dec. 9, 2011, causing roughly one million euros in damage to approximately 40 cabins onboard the 128,000-ton vessel.

The damage will not affect the delivery date of the ship. Disney Cruise Line confirmed a float-out scheduled for Jan. 7,2012.
