    Server Pressure for "Excellent"

    Something else I found interesting was that there were alot of the same menu items/choices on this cruise in Feb. 2013 that were on our two prior cruises in May of 2008 and Oct. of 2010. Also, in hindsight, we should have asked to be moved to a different table after the first couple of nights...

    Party of Ten

    You should be seated together. We were a party of 13 and were together. They have several large tables. :)

    Our experience on the Disney Fantasy - the Good and the Bad

    Same here! We got to the point of almost dreading dinner in the main dining room due to our servers - we couldn't understand them, they were slow, sub par service wise, and were hard sell on the excellent review on the comment card. We dined in Cabanas one evening and it was a great experience...

    Not Enough Time... Really???

    Two 4-night cruises and one 7-night cruise on DCL and have never seen a movie on board, worked out in the gym, or done Palo or Remy brunch. My advice is, don't over plan. We loved playing our sea days on our last cruise by ear......sooooo relaxing. We even canceled beer tasting and tequila...

    Seasickness on First Night

    I always feel sick the first night at dinner also (late dining). I took advice I read here and started taking Bonine the day before we sailed on our last cruise. We sailed Feb. 9-16 eastern Caribbean on the Fantasy. I took one per day to start. We had pretty rough seas the first few days...

    Warning: Do Not buy the Allianz insurance through DCL!

    We were on the cruise you missed - we are from the "meet" and FE exchange. We missed you both on the cruise, and along with many others, felt very bad about your situation. So unfortunate. I sincerely hope your next cruise is fabulous; you certainly deserve it after what you and your daughter...

    Server Pressure for "Excellent"

    Great comments and advice - thanks for sharing your experiences, and for letting me vent! If we ever decide to take another Disney cruise, I will definitely take the advice provided and "nip" the excellent speeches in the bud! Live and learn I guess!

    Server Pressure for "Excellent"

    We were on the Fantasy Feb. 9-16, 2013 cruise. We had a great time. However, I just have to get this off my chest. Our dining room head server pressured us to no end for an excellent rating. We didn't catch on at first that he was pushing for excellent on the comment card you fill out at the...

    Aquaduct tips

    First of all, it's Aqua Duck (as in Donald) :thumbsup2 We were just on a 7 night cruise on the Fantasy. DS rode the Aqua Duck as soon as we boarded. Really, people shouldn't fret so much about the line. You won't have a problem waiting very long and will get to ride regardless if you are on...

    Camp Rico kayak and zipline

    We brought our small camera which also has video capability. DH took both pics and video and it turned out great. We didn't bring our large camera on the cruise. We took a backpack on the excursion with water, etc. in it, which DH wore. My butt was completely wet from the kayak. We didn't take...

    Waterspout off Castaway Cay

    We were there also. A guy next to us was kinda freaking out, as he thought it was a tornado! I asked him if he was from "tornado country" and he said no. However, I am from tornado country and knew it wasn't one. I explained to him what one looked like, but I'm not sure he believe me...

    Camp Rico kayak and zipline

    We just did this excursion last week. You will not be off the ship early enough for a 7:15 a.m. excursion.

    Seasick = no cocktails?

    Okay, I take Bonine and have a few cocktails and am fine. An alternative to Bonine is ginger capsules. Works great for seasickness and you can drink alcohol with no side effects. Get ginger caps at your local health food store. :thumbsup2

    Nightmare in Nassau

    Oh my, what an ordeal for you. Glad it all worked out. Did you have trip insurance? That is the main reason we always get it - in case of medical emergency. So yes, this is a perfect example as to why everyone should get passports and travel insurance.

    Spa Appointments Once Onboard.....

    Does the spa keep some open appointments so that you can book them once onboard? The massage I want to book is full, so I am hoping I can book it onboard.

    Very excited to sail in a couple of weeks except for.....

    Exactly! Believe me, when I am in vacation mode I am very relaxed and easygoing and would never let a rude/ignorant person put a damper on my vacation. Some people do amaze me though. I wasn't referring to "organized lines" as in waiting in line for attractions at DW or the Aqua Duck. I am...

    Very excited to sail in a couple of weeks except for.....

    The rude people that crowd the airline gate before their boarding group is called :confused3; rude people seated behind you on the plane that jump up before the plane comes to a complete stop and try make their way down the aisle before their 'turn' :crazy2:; people that crowd the Mickey Ear...

    Waiting Outside Terminal

    Port arrival times are in place for a reason - so plan to arrive during your 'window' and you will have no worries. If everyone did this, it would make it so much nicer for everyone.

    Castaway Key ages 7 and 9

    You can, but don't have to. I recommend it! It is a great place to try snorkeling for the first time. You walk in vs. getting off a boat in the open water, and while you will see fish, you won't be surrounded with a ton which can be scary to first timers. This is where DS snorkeled for the...
