our third Halloween cruise and the way they did candy was interesting compared to past cruises.
What was neat was the Pumpkin Tree story so go to that the three nights they do something with that. Halloween trick or treating was different. They had a few simple games in the atrium to get tattoos and candy stations close by. There were about 3 candy stations on deck 3, 2 on deck 4 and 2 on deck 5. So don't forget to go to those decks. You can hit the lines multiple times.
They played Inside Out A LOT on the cruise. Toooooo much. Ant man in 3D was cool and really good actually. They had 2 showing of Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D twice on the cruise. One a late showing and one a 2 pm showing. Inside Out and Antman were played the most of all the movies.
They have separated the pirate night. Mickey and pals do their thing at 7:45 and then at 10:30 they do the Jack Sparrow with fireworks. Get on Starboard side for fireworks.
They do have some Star Wars merchandise on the ship.
We did one excursion in Grand Cayman and it was the snorkel and boatwreck. It was the inexpensive of the choices and sufficient. Warning, you literally walk half a block to the boat. Drive for 2 minutes maybe to snorkel the Devils grotto. I will say that looks are deceiving. You aren't far from shore at all, but when you get in the water, it's deeper then it looks. This was the best of the two spots as the fish were beautiful. The. You go about 5 min to the left to Callie's shipwreck and it was sort of cool. But shallower. All of this is in front of the Fantasy. So trust you don't travel far but it was plenty of snorkel time. Not much to see walking around but shops.
It was funny to see the same wine I bought at Wal Mart for 9.99 a bottle was being served on deck and in the restaurants. I had to giggle as I took 2 bottles on board.
Great trip. It was cool sailing along side Cuba. Seeing Haiti in the distance.
We got off in Jamaica but I found things in their port to be expensive! Look for the bluish building outside the gate that has a canvas painted front. I've never seen a fake cement building with canvas hung to make it look nice. No beaches to walk to in Falmouth either. Taxis wanted 40pp round trip to certain beaches.
That bout sums it up. Great trip. Jamaica was the hottest by far. Rained on and off but it didn't ruin anything at all.
By the way, we had our son made over in the BBB for pirate night. Best 99 ever spent! He loved it! We now have a pirate costume he can probably wear 2 more years!!!!!
