05/24-05/31/14 - The Disney Fantasy, (Bob) Marley and Me on The FANTASTICAL VOYAGE!

[JohnPA]

Hi everyone,

I booked the May 24th Fantasy cruise last week. I am taking my mom to celebrate the end of grad school. I booked a verandah room on deck 8 (the same room we had on our first Fantasy cruise), and will also be sailing on the May 17th Eastern Caribbean. Can't wait for May!!

Welcome and gratz on the grad school graduation! Doing a B2B, eh? I'm really jealous, I'd love to do that.

Will we be able to book BBB appointments before getting on board? This will be my first experience with that! Same question for Palo brunch, High tea, etc? Never booked any of those things before because I've always been on shorter cruises.

Hey DizDaddy, could you please remove us from the FE spreadsheet? With my crazy work hours and everything else, we haven 't been able to do any planning, much less try to actually do anything towards gifts or an extender. And I just don't see it getting any easier... Maybe next time. Thanks!

Yes, you book appointments for BBB and make reservations for Palo when your excursion / check-in booking window opens, as long as you are paid in full. I'm not sure about a high tea...there isn't one that I know of currently, although there is some kind of tea that is in "trials" right now. I think it is supposed to be available on my October cruise, but it has only been made available to concierge guests at this time. I would assume if that gets the "green light", then it will be able to be booked the same way. Hope that helps.

Got you added to page one, but with minimal information! Feel free to supply more info and I will get your profile updated. Welcome!!

 

[DizDaddy]

Hey guys, TheHannas checking in. Not sure if we did already but just wanted to ask a question. Our son didn't really do the clubs last cruise and we were wondering if any of the kids going on our cruise are talking before hand? Kinda getting to know each other. If so, do they use "face time" or "PS3 online"? Thanks guys. Will try to follow along and keep up with the thread. Not going to do fe this time around but cool to talk to some of you before the cruise. Oh and our son will be in Edge I think (12yrs).

Got you added to page one, but need more info!!!! Feel free to supply more info and I will get your profile updated! Welcome!

Well, they keep working me 60-70 hours a week, and we are in church Sunday morning and night, so I have zero free time! Maybe I need a copy like on Muliplicity...

Got you guys straightened out on the spreadsheet. Look at the third tab, there are links there to FE information, as well as general cruise info.

So what's everyone thinking for excursions in Jamaica? Honestly, I experienced a little "sticker shock" when I saw the price for the bobsledding and some of the other excursions. I was also really disappointed when I realized they didn't offer an "observer" option for the dolphins. I already have an idea of what we want to do in Cozumel and Grand Cayman so I was hoping to let my kids swim with the dolphins in Falmouth but DH and I were going to book the observer option that is offered in almost every other port.

I kind of like the idea of the Green Grotto Caves and it is more reasonably priced in my opinion than most of the others but I am considering looking at private companies and seeing what else is out there. Thoughts?

I think Jamaica will be like a Nassau port to us.....an hour or two of walking around on our own and then back on the ship for lots of Aqua Duck time. I have not heard too many great things about that port . We have excursions booked/in mind for Cozumel and Grand Cayman, so I'll save some $$ for more on board shopping .
