– When the ship was being constructed, Minnie Mouse officially placed a coin beneath the ship’s hull with the number S688, and the date of the keel laying… if you find it, you can redeem it for a lifetime’s worth of free cruises. *
– The Disney character featured on the hull of the Fantasy is none other than
Dumbo, The Flying Elephant.
– The Fantasy was constructed in Meyer Werft shipyards in Papenburg, Germany (as seen on the Ship Mate screen)
– On December 9, 2011, vandals opened water lines on the cruise ship causing damage to 48 cabins at a cost of approximately one million euros (rumor has it it was Mortimer Mouse).
* I made that last part up entirely… please don’t try to redeem any found coins for lifetime supplies of cruises
