Got off the Fantasy today, any questions?

[Bridgett_Anna]

Hello everyone! Today, I left the Fantasy, but I'm super upset because it's over.... Lol. So does anyone have any questions for me? I went on a Western 7-night cruise

Hi! We are going soon on the Western 7 night! Which excursions did you do? Would you recommend them?
Were there young kids in your party? Thanks!!

Curious about if you had young kids and if so, did you do anything in Jamaica? We have a turning 5 dd on the cruise and we just didnt find anything we really HAD/MUST do in Jamaica.

Hello! You are going to have so much fun!
Excursions:
Cozumel: 12 meter regatta sailing
Grand Cayman: snorkel reef and ship

Since you have small kids, I do not recommend the Regatta Sailing because it is A LOT of work. But, It was so much fun. There is a Dolphin Excursion that you could go on. I hear lots of great things about it. The Snorkel was very fun. There were more kids than adults that went, and they seemed to have a great time.

I did not travel with kids, but I have friends who did. I agree, there aren't really any excursions that seem to interest me. I got off of the ship for about 30 minutes and came back on. The port itself was very nice. But warning: I went into one of the Shops that had kid toys and T-shirts. Right next to the toys were Bongs and VERY inappropriate ash trays. I would send a parent in before the kids go in to make sure that they don't see anything that you wouldn't want them to see. I heard that outside of the port is pretty bad. You get those people getting in your face asking if you want to buy something, go on a bus ride, ect. My advice: Just stay inside the port. It is really nice. But double check to stores before having your kids going in.

We got off today too! But I'm super exhusted, so I'm happy to be home. It was great and the ship is amazing, but wow, did we do a lot!

My husband and 6 yo son did the Green Grotto caves in Jamaica and they loved it! They raved about it. But I believe the minimum age for that excursion might be 6.

Yeah we were thinking of just walking around in the port (not outside the gates). Thanks for the heads up at the bongs LOL. That would've been interesting considering our 16 year old would be with us also. Was the ship less crowded so Aquaduck wasnt busy?

Gah!! We will be on the same cruise in less than a week! I haven't done well with my planning this time, so I'm a little panicked. Was there a formal night? I didn't see one on the calendar. Also, what movies are showing now? My kids have been wondering. I know I'm going to have more questions..... Thanks!

 

[Tequilamamacita]

WE just got off too, shows as in movies Alice in Wonderland, BFG, captain america, finding dory
Yes there is a formal night

 

[PiperGirlInWondrland]

Who were your servers?

Who were the Cruise Staff team members?

Ack! I better get prepared since we hit the road in 3 days! Is there only one dress up night? I read somewhere that on some cruises there is a formal AND a semi-formal. Do I need to be prepared for 2? And where in the world do I find dress up closes for my husky 10 year old boy? (That's probably a question for another board. Lol.)

We were just on the Fantasy - there is a Formal and an "optional dress-up" night. Not everyone participates in either, so don't worry about it. Dress up if you want to.

Who were the Cruise Staff team members?

The Captain was Commodore Tom, and the Cruise Director was Natalie.

I was actually asking about the Cruise Staff team, who work for the Cruise Director running all of the family and adult activities, such as trivia, karaoke, dance parties, bingo, etc. They are most often seen wearing red and blue horizontal striped shirts. Do you remember any of them?
