Great Trip Report! We sail on The Fantasy Eastern Caribbean December 14th!

How do you request a dining rotation in advance? I would love to have our Formal Night in the Royal Palace.

Thank you! I asked our travel agent to request it for us, but I believe if you aren't using an agent you can call DCL directly and put the request in yourself. They will give you the spiel, it's only a request, there are no guarantees, etc. but I think they try really hard to give people what they asked for. :thumbsup2
 
Enjoying your TR. Great pictures!

We did the western itinerary on the Fantasy this past Oct, and sailed the eastern with another cruise line this past April. Your TR brings back great memories of both of our 2013 cruises, one for the ship and the other for the ports. :cool1:

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you're enjoying it! ::yes::
 


Welcome to all the new people! So happy to have you along! :wave2:




In St. Maarten we took a taxi over to the French side (Marigot) and went up to Fort Louis, then walked back into town and went to Sarafina's Bakery, after that we got another taxi to Maho Beach to watch the planes come into the airport, that was really cool! We left there and went back to Philipsburg and did a little shopping before going back to the ship.

In St. Thomas we shopped and stopped into a Chinese restaurant to use their wifi, that was it. We had wanted to do the Paradise Point tram, but it was still closed. Someone at the restaurant told us about another place we could have gone, called Mountain Top, but at that point we were loaded down with shopping bags so we just went back to the ship and enjoyed the rest of the day on board with fewer people.

Did you go on your own on the islands? I'm trying to decide what we'll do that's fairly inexpensive (at least compared to DCL's excursions), especially St Thomas/St John - I've been to St Maarten before and frankly wasn't impressed, so we'll probably just visit quickly for DF's sake!
 


Oh my gosh, I was so excited to find your trip report!!! We were also on the Nov. 2nd Fantasy sailing, in room 7180 and Vivek was our room attendant! My 3 year old daughter LOVED him! He always popped his head out whenever he heard us leave or come back. This was our first DCL cruise and it was a trip of a lifetime!!!! I enjoy reliving our trip through your report! :cool1:

P.S. You and your camera take beautiful pictures. What kind of camera were you using?

Wow, we were practically neighbors! Did you feel the ship moving as much as we did? Craziness at times! It was definitely an amazing trip though, we probably won't go again for a couple of years but we're already looking forward to the next one! We're contemplating trying for Alaska in 2016 if they are still sailing there at that time.

Vivek really was such a sweetheart! We were always running into him in the halls and he would ask us how our day had been or tell us to enjoy dinner, etc.

Thanks so much for the sweet picture comment, I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ20. I haven't had it that long and am still learning how to use all the settings. A nice man I met when I was trying to take some pictures of a pretty non-existent sunset actually gave me a quick tutorial in some of the manual settings! People can be so nice!

I hope you enjoy the rest of my report. I took a break from it today to spend some time with my husband on his day off, but I'll be back at it tomorrow! :goodvibes
 
We definitely were rocked to sleep the first six nights. The last night I woke up at midnight and it felt like the ship was about to tip over.
 
Joining in! We were on the fantasy the week after you (eastern) and are heading out on the eastern in April.
 
Loving your report, we are on the Fantasy the first week of March and can't wait!
 
I am enjoying your TR. We leave on the Fantasy this Saturday (also an Eastern). Your TR is getting me more excited.
 
Hi, I'm loving your report! Your dress on formal night was just simply gorgeous. You rocked it! I don't think you sound like you're complaining too much. Just seems like you're being honest about the crowds so us newbies know what's to come. Can't wait to read more....
 
Thanks for joining in everyone!

Susan121302 ~ Thanks so much for the compliment on my dress. Not bad for $39 from Burlington Coat Factory! I couldn't believe how hard it was to find a floor length "gown" in a plus size!
 
I love reading your TR- really getting me excited for our own Fantasy Eastern in a few weeks over NYE. :goodvibes Looking forward to more....popcorn::
