1/26/2013-Fantasy-Eastern including Puerto Rico

[manitobamickey]

I called Disney Cruise Lines this afternoon to try and figure out what nights the special dinners were on so that I could book excursions/palo etc accordingly. I was surprised when they told me that they did not have a schedule past the end of the year. She did say that she expected something for the new year to come out in 2-4 weeks. I was able to find out what the current schedule is for the same ports. It seems strange that concierge can start booking on the 28th but they don't know the schedule. Was anyone else able to come up with something more concrete?

Thanks

I wasn't able to come up with anything concrete. Do you mind sharing what you learned? For planning purposes, I just made an assumption that things would be similar to current eastern cruises.

Jilljill- I received my "welcome to concierge" email today. So it looks like it goes out a few days prior to booking?

Here is what i learned...
Port Canaveral casual
sea day casual
sea day formal
st. Thomas casual/pirate night
san jan casual
sea day semi formal
castaway Cay casual

I was also told that the rotations are currently
AERAERA
ERAERAE
RAERAER

Several times I was told that both of these are subject to change and that they are just using the current schedule to identify these.

The other interesting piece was that if you are concierge, they sit you alone at a table unless otherwise requested. I was a little surprised since we are only three travelling together.

(I paid the rest of my balance this am and got the concierge email and phone number email today, not sure if it was coincidence or as a direct result of the full payment)

I got my phone call, although I did miss it, and email from concierge today as well. I guess they give a little reminder call/email in case you haven't paid in full yet.

Thanks for the rotation info. I've requested a server and if he's not available then I've requested to be in Royal Court the last night. They had no problem with this type of request for me.
I will have to contact them again to see if we can be seated with others, I don't want a table just for the 3 of us. Did concierge tell you that you will be seated alone unless otherwise requested? I hadn't heard that before.

Hi jill jill yes concierge gave me the info about being sat alone unless other wise requested.

Wonder if that's something they have always done or have started doing since the Dream/Fantasy started sailing?

Just booked this cruise yesterday on DVC points. I got lucky as this was last minute. Third Disney Cruise for DD and I. First one for DH. Are there other DVC members on here? Anything weird I should know about booking on points?

I don't know anything about points, but wanted to say

 

[eyesing4u]

Great!!! More kids for more fun... My DS is 10 and DD will be 12.

Good to hear of another 12 DD. My DD last took a Disney cruise when she was 7. Wondering how she will like it now that she is older.

Thank you!

If she's anything like my DD she'll want to keep on cruising.

 

[eyesing4u]

If she's anything like my DD she'll want to keep on cruising.

Good! That means mom gets to keep cruising too!

 

[jilljill]

Good! That means mom gets to keep cruising too!

That's an even better thing.

My DD's goal, since she was 8, is that she wants to work in the nursery on one of the ships. She started working at WDW this past summer, so she's partway there to her dream.
I told her to keep that dream since I want to keep on cruisin'.

 

[thrillfan]

Welcome eyesing4u If you would like to be in the FE Group just PM me.

Thank you! I haven't gotten through all the pages of the thread yet. How are your groups set up? By cabins? What are the guidelines? Haven't done this for awhile....doh!

That's an awesome goal!
