    DCL Bus Question Please???

    If my memory serves me correctly, I think this is how it went... We stayed at BCV the night before our cruise and did DME from the airport...the tags for that came in our DME packet. I believe our cruise luggage tags were in our cruise packet that came from DCL. When we arrived at BCV they...

    Beer questions for Fantasy????

    I can tell you that my husband chose not to bother with the beer mug as you can only use it for beer on tap and he did not care for their selection (Heineken, Longboard Ale, Bud and Coors). He was able to score a couple of New Castle bottles early on in the week at the bar on the adult pool...

    Best Times for Aquaduck

    One of the days we saw the matinee show at 3pm instead of after dinner at 8:30. Right after dinner we got our bathing suits on and went right to the AquaDuck. There was barely a line and we probably rode it 3 times in about 30 minutes...all while most people were either at the late dining or...

    Help Requesting a Dining Rotation for 7 day EC

    We did the Fantasy Eastern last month and had the AERAERA rotation. I was glad not to be in Animator's on formal night and was also happy that we WERE in Animator's for our last night...the animation show was a nice "finale" for us. We had a fantastic service team...Edward from England and...

    Bernard's Tours - Detail Questions

    We did Bernard's tour in July and really enjoyed it! Our excursion began at 9am and we were back on the boat by 3:30. As far as cash...here's what I remember us having to pay for: $40/person for the excursion, a couple of dollars to tip the sea urchin man, $10 for 2 lounge chairs and...

    I called DCL and requested a particular dining rotation AND a particular server a couple of months before our recent Fantasy cruise...both of our requests were granted! Good luck and have fun!!

    Magens Bay.....with or without Disney!

    We did it on our own just last month and it was perfect! As previous posters have mentioned, we got the open air taxi bus right at the port and it was $8/person each way. Our driver asked what time we were planning to leave the beach and he said he would be there for us at that time...and he...

    Question about Gift Cards on the Cruise...

    I had purchased a bunch of Disney gift cards over the course of the year leading up to our cruise on the Fantasy last month, and the night we boarded I took them all to guest services and had them applied to my account. Very simple! Enjoy your cruise!!

    ? For those who used fitness center on the Fantasy

    I used the fitness center and got there a few minutes before it opened at 6:30. I didn't have any trouble getting right on a treadmill but I think by about 7am they were mostly all taken. When I left around 7:30, there were maybe 1 or 2 open treadmills?? I didn't really notice that many...

    Need HELP! From cruise experts!!!

    I'm not a cruise expert, but I can answer your question regarding transfers to the port from a WDW resort. We stayed at the Beach Club prior to our cruise on the Fantasy and used the DCL transfers from the resort. You need to reserve that through DCL and I believe it was $35/person each way...

    Kid's Club Bracelet

    May I suggest that you remove it when you leave the ship for port excursions. My youngest DD lost hers in the water on St. Martin!! Thankfully, I just happened to notice that it was missing at the right time, and we quickly found the IMPORTANT piece crashing to shore with a wave and we were...

    Pictures with mickey and minnie on fantasy

    We were on the Fantasy earlier this month and got a family picture with Mickey & Minnie together on the deck 4 balcony. Mickey was in his white tux Captain's jacket with black cummerbund and bow tie, and Minnie was wearing a blue flapper style dress. One of my favorite pictures from the entire...

    ????? about using Disney Gift Cards on Cruise ?????

    We just did this 2 weeks ago. I probably had at least 8 cards myself, and some that were only $25 denominations...it was not an issue at all. I went down to Guest Services our first night and had the gift cards applied to our account without any problems. Then on our final night, we applied...

    fireworks starboard side

    We watched them from deck 12 starboard side, near the Mickey slide. I wouldn't classify it as a "low-key" spot, but we had a great view! Enjoy!

    Castaway Cay Tips to avoid crowd? -Fantasy sailing

    I will start off by saying that our family LOVED Castaway Cay!! I did, however, feel that the beach got pretty crowded as the morning progressed. We were on the Fantasy, got off the boat right away and made our way to the 2nd family beach as we wanted to be near Pelican Plunge. We had no...

    Just back from the Fantasy

    CrusNewB...we did Bernards tour as well (different van) and while we enjoyed it, I agree that we spent a lot of time in the van. I wouldn't have minded by-passing the iguana farm (pretty much freaked my kids out!). For my family, we would have just preferred a quick stop at the sea urchin man...

    Just back from the Fantasy

    Yes! Our driver on the way to Magen's Bay asked us what time we were planning to leave, and he was waiting for us in the parking lot!

    Just back from the Fantasy

    We were on the Fantasy last week too! We did Magen's Bay on our own and definitely saved money! We are a family of 4 (2 adults/2 kids) and it would have cost us $168 to do this excursion through DCL. I had done a little research prior to our trip to see if we could do it cheaper on our own...
