I'm home from the cruise!! Thanks Dee for keeping everybody uptodate on my comings and goings. The Centurylink repairman came today. I think my sandhill cranes were eating the telephone lines ... anyway he got the internet connection repaired and told Bob (I was at work) the problem was in the yard.
Cruise was wonderful. Absolutely the best weather and sailing (thought we were docked ... ship never felt like it was moving) we've ever had. The Fantasy is absolutely beautiful but too large for my liking. Service was fantastic, food was in my opinion not quite as good as the Magic and Wonder but still better than any other cruise line I've been on. The food up on the pool deck (hamburgers, etc.) at the quick service places was absolutely horrible and I'd never eat there again!!! Bacon cheeseburger had raw bacon on it and the hamburger was cold and the cheese not melted. Just horrible. But the food in the main dining rooms and the buffets ... very very good.
Overall, I'm still a fan of the smaller ships but Bob preferred the Fantasy but agreed with my food assessment. I felt the Magic and Wonder was more intimate and we saw the same people over and over again whereas on the Fantasy it was way too big.
I was still the first guest on the adult beach at
Castaway Cay so I handled the additional guests just fine. I absolutely love that place and all of you that know me know it is my "happy place."
OK ... as far as BC news. They suspended all the food and drink offerings in the arcade and moved it all to Martha's Vineyard. They assured me it is the same offerings and still considered a quick service meal on the dining plan.
I was also told additional items have been added to the Marketplace menu.
I was so happy to be back at work and meet so many of our dissers that are staying there now. And of course I spent way too much time catching up with Amanda!!!
Thanks again Dee for posting the pictures for me. Part of the fun on a
Disney cruise is decorating the stateroom doors with magnets. Bob is like a kid. He can't wait for me to put on the decorations!!
