Thanks for all the tips, we sail in a few months. I'm curious about getting items signed by CMs, I've cruised before but didn't know you could do this. Can you drop an item at a service desk and it will be autographed ? Thanks again !
Sorry, but that makes me smile. Our cruise was VERY calm the first couple nights compared to other cruises where we have experienced 20+ foot swells, once with 50 knot headwinds and the pools closed all day. I was asked by someone if the ship always rocked so much on day 2. I hadn't felt much movement at all by that point. We did feel the movement a bit more on Thursday because we had to increase speed to get from San Juan to CC, but it wasn't as bad as we have felt in the past. So as a person who was on their 10th DCL cruise last week [1 3-night, 4 westerns, 3 easterns, Alaska, PC repo] I thought that the Fantasy's stabilizers were working great. It was actually one of our calmest cruises in the Carribean.
Thanks for the great info. We will be on the Fantasy in less than 3 weeks! I have a question about more movement/rocking of the ship. I was reading about folks on a recent Fantasy cruise who were complaining about the stabilizers not working properly due to increased rocking even when the seas were not rough. This is my first cruise and I am very concerned about seasickness. Some folks did think it may have been due to heavy winds. I was wondering if you found it rougher than usual and if anyone mentioned issues with the ships stabilizers. Thanks.

Lisa, this makes me smile, because I am sure that "someone" was ME! ROTFL!!!! This newbie discovered that an aft room is not for me ' cause if I am rocking in my room, I carry the feeling with me wherever I go onboard. Did not spoil the cruise for me though...I rebooked while onboard for a midship verandah stateroom the next cruise!
I still laugh when thinking back about how it felt like I was in a human pinball machine while trying to walk in the hallway heading to the stateroom.

On the first night take whatever items you want signed to Guest Services in a ziplock type bag with the appropriate makers/pens and leave it with them. It will be delivered to your room on the last night covered in character signatures. I got two three inch vinylmations signed one with Mickey and Friends and one by the princesses. They will ask if you want one or both of those or you can tell them 'all available' and hope for some more. A token of appreciation such as candy or gum is nice but not a requirement. I included a huge number of suckers and gum in my bag with the vinyls and the markers.
That would be ideal, but I think it depends on one's travel plans. For many who travel for several hours to the port, doing so might be uncomfortable or inconvenient.If I wanted to swim before having access to my room, I think I would come wearing my swimsuit rather than planning to change into it. . .
