Cruise ship suffered propulsion issue
The 'Disney Fantasy' suffered a technical issue with the propulsion system in the evening of Sep 7, 2023. The issue has resulted in the ship skipping its planned call to Castaway Cay and instead returning directly to Port Canaveral in order to debark on schedule. The technical issue has resulted in a loss of speed and impacted the vessel's itinerary.
Cruise ship assisted in SAR operation
The 'Disney Fantasy' assisted the US Coast Guard vessels on Nov 20, 2022, in an SAR operation after a homemade refugee craft capsized in the ship’s vicinity. While most of the refugees were rescued, several individuals were reported to have drowned before rescue vessels arrived. The ship had a day at sea when the call came in from the USCG, and it stopped to offer support. USGS boats and planes were also involved in the activity. The incident occurred approximately 50 miles south of Little Torch Key, midway between the Florida Keys and Cuba. While the overall weather in the area was clear, the waves were averaging 6-8 feet with winds of 30 miles per hour. The migrants who drowned were not wearing lifejackets or other floatation devices. The cruise ship resumed its voyage from Port Canaveral to Cozumel with an ETA as of Nov 21. There was no indication that there would be any need for port schedule changes or other alterations to the ship’s itinerary. The 'Disney Fantasy' was currently sailing a 7-night roundtrip Western Caribbean itinerary, having departed Port Canaveral on Nov 19.

Disney Fantasy passengers sued claim they caught coronavirus on ship
Disney Cruise Line was facing four federal lawsuits from Utah and Arizona tourists who claimed they contracted the coronavirus while on board the 'Disney Fantasy' in March 2020, just before the cruise business docked during the pandemic. The tourists said they contracted the virus while on board and began feeling sick, according to the four lawsuits filed on March 2, 2021, in federal court’s Orlando division that each seek unspecified damages. Disney Cruise Line disagreed with the allegations and will respond to them in court. No guests or crew reported symptoms of Covid-19 while aboard the vessel during the March 7, 2020, sailing. Disney Cruise Line communicated health and safety information with guests in advance of and during their sailing and had numerous protocols in place at the time. The lawsuits accused Disney of refusing to let passengers cancel or reschedule their cruises even if they had “autoimmune diseases and compromised health conditions,” so they were “left without any option” to go on their March 7-14, 2020 trip. According to a Disney email sent to passengers, guests were allowed to change their reservation up until the day before embarkation to receive a 100 percent cruise credit. The four plaintiffs retained the same Miami law firm and their complaints were similarly phrased in the court documents. The plaintiffs were Arizona residents Judy Parkin and Krystal Skinner and Utah residents Kailee Taylor and Scott and Jana Olsen. The attorneys representing the four lawsuits, Stefanie Black and Jason Margulies, did not return messages. The lawsuits provide brief details on the plaintiffs and their children’s symptoms. After the ship returned, the lawsuit claimed, Scott and Jana Olson’s child was taken to a hospital intensive care unit on March 16, 2020, with a high fever and difficulty breathing. The child, who had an unspecified autoimmune disease tested positive for COVID-19 on May 1, the lawsuit said. The parents also tested positive. One of Krystal Skinner’s children also had an autoimmune disease that wasn’t specified in the lawsuit and felt body aches, fever, chills and a cough on the cruise. Her other child, who has asthma, had migraines, a high fever and difficulty breathing. Both tested positive for COVID-19 on April 15. Their mother also felt sick on board and tested positive the same day as her children, according to the lawsuit.
