November 17, 2012 TURKEY Cruise

We will be on the ship for Mickey Mouse's Birthday ! . Wanted to share an easy idea for a door magnet. I bought a Thanksgiving vinyl cling and put it on white card stock then cut it out and put magnets on the back. I also used some stickers with the letters and spelled out Feasting on the Fantasy with our names. It turned out great !!!!

Sounds AWESOME, do you have any pictures that you could share??

Thanks, can't wait to see it!!

We are thinking about doing the Caribbean Sea Safari on Virgin Breeze in St. Thomas, but we can't book for a couple weeks yet. In San Juan, we definitely want to see Old San Juan, but really enjoy rum and have thought about doing the Barcardi tour.

I have read there may be other rum tours closer to Old San Juan? Any one have any insight into these tours? Are they worth it?
Thanks!

We kept going back and forth on so many choices for St. Thomas I forgot what we actually booked. I just checked and through DCL we are booked on the Caribbean Sea Safari. Hope you decide on this one.

Tina,

I just Googled Virgin Breeze after you mentioned it above. Like I said we are really not into snorkling so that is why we decided on Kon Tiki. But I found this review that makes Virgin Breeze sound great so I thought I would share: http://thepracticalplanner.blogspot.com/2012/04/port-adventures.html

It even has bathrooms on board but it does sound like it may be a little rough so that wouldn't be good for us. The review makes Honeymoon Beach sound really nice and that is also where Kon Tiki goes so we will probably stick with it for something different to do.

In th past, we always do Magens Bay on our own. I like going there... but lately, with all the huge ships in port, it is too crowded! Plus, last time I almost got into an argument on the way going there with the cab driver. Of course, it was one of the open-air van thingys, filled to capacity. The cab driver took our money (I handed it to him) and then he came around to us again insisting we hadn't paid! We went back and forth but I firmly told him no way, I wasn't paying again!

Thanks for the link to the review ! Honeymoon beach is what I am really interested in seeing. Although it's been years since I have been to St. Thomas.....I wanted something a little less private. Maybe your boat will be there when we are ?

Here you go. I also wanted a different FE but I didn't want to spend alot of money. I am using a paper sack and here it is decorated.

Our Kon Tiki excursion is from 8:45-1:00.

For our door, we will have a bunch of princess magnets that I got at Target for $1.00. We used them on the Dream last March and they were really cute. I just remembered I also have a turkey magnet that I will have to get out, too. It was actually a Thanksgiving greeting card that I cut and put a magnet on the back! I used it on the Oasis of the Seas last Thanksgiving.

Anyone interested in joining us for a fun filled day in St. Thomas on Rumbaba Charters? We are a family of 3 (2 adults/1 son 17yrs old). This company only takes 6 people total on the charter. So we are looking for 2 or 3 other people to join us.

Listed #5 best tour in Trip Advisor for St. Thomas!

I have been on several cruises and never been able to get space on the tour so it's very popular! It's a full day with a beautiful lunch included.
Let me know! Thanks! Shirley

Finished my FE gifts this morning. They are all packaged up and ready to go. I made 25 of them even tho we discussed doing only 20 but figured I'd do a few extra just incase the break down of the list turns out more per each FE group.

Okay, so I was just sent a link to this site by a friend of mine. My two kids and I will be on the November 17th Cruise on the Fantasy. I have been told several times that I will have a lot of time to myself, because the kids will be kept REALLY busy. So what should I do (with all my free time)? Any suggestions?
