I had only been on the new Disney Fantasy for an hour when the “Sailing Away” party featuring Mickey, Minnie, dancers, streamers, and a DJ started. My head was spinning, but my son, 8, was already riding the AquaDuck, the signature water coaster, that dips, loops, and swirls around the entire ship and out across the water. This would pretty much set the pace for my Fantasy inaugural voyage: as much action as the Mouse can cram in for four days. Relaxing? Not really. But lots of fun? Definitely yes.

A luxury cruise. Warm Caribbean waters. And swimming with sharks? A unique adventure is drawing thrill seekers to the waters of Nassau, Bahamas.

Trim this! Hoist that! Batten down the other thing! But after damned near sinking a Boston Whaler (a dinghy with the slogan “The Unsinkable Legend”) in two feet of water on my first day, I have grave misgivings.
