<3 <3 August 18, 2012 Fantasy 7-day cruise <3 <3

[trinibjill]

Hi everyone!

My husband, DD (now 6) and I are looking forward to going on the Fantasy, can't wait!! We just did the Magic last November for the first time ever, and loved it so much we booked for a cruise, then rebooked for this date this week.

What I'm *really* psyched about is that we're slowly talking some friends into joining us so it will be a mini-reunion type of cruise for us.

Hi I can understand that. Welcome aboard. I see you are from central Jersey. I used to live in Florence and worked in Trenton. Where are you from?

We're in Union county, freezing our tushies at the moment!

Yes, when I retired I was determined to get away from the snow. There were many times while working at the prison in Trenton we had to stay several days because of the snow and the gov declared a state of emerg.

I never want to see another real snow flake in my life.

Many years ago I worked at the Natl Guard Armory in Lodi. If it snowed up there I used to go to the armory in Bordentown.

I like it here in Kissimmee, Fl.

Looking forward to sailing the Dream and the Fantasy. And meeting many Dis Forum members.

I think someone at DCL needs to take a close look at their computer systems. A couple of weeks ago we received the info booklet for the western itinerary even though it was wrong - we're supposed to be going to Costa Maya instead of Key West like in the booklet (I'd rather go to Key West). So..... today we get a booklet for the eastern itinerary. I just checked the DCL reservation system and our cruise still shows as a western.

This is not the first time I've read about this happening.

In 2004 we were scheduled f/a 7 day western cruise. Key West was the 1st place we were supposed to go to. There was a hurricane. Key West was cancelled we went to Costa Maya instead and several other things were added 'cause it turned into a 10 day cruise.

I know in emergencies they can change.

I've been thinking about cruising for about a year now. Seriously looking and learning about it for the past few months. And now..... we're booked through Dreams Unlimited!

This will be our very first cruise! Our clan will consist of:

me - Mary - complete (and utterly proud of it) Disneyholic

DS - Brandon - will be 16 at sailing - kind of Disney'd out but looking forward to the cruise

mom - Elsie - she'll be turning x-ty a month after sailing so we'll be celebrating on our trip. I'm already thinking of all kinds of fun stuff to do with/for her

DB#3 - Matt - he'll also be 16 at sailing - very shy and quiet so I'm hoping there will be some DIS teens that he can be introduced to beforehand so he can "know" somebody when we get there

The Dream is an amazingly beautiful ship and I sooooo can't wait to actually set foot onto the Fantasy!

 

[trinibjill]

Welcome Mary -

So far it looks like we are all from the East Coast. 2 from Pa. - 1 from Boston
1 from NJ (I used to live there - now in Fl) 1 from Canada & 1 from Va -

We are growing some.

Our names are Cindy, Mike, Katie (16) and Edie (12). We were originally booked on the June 16, 2012 Eastern, but had to reschedule, so now we're with you guys I actually wanted to go on the Western, so this works out!

I've been on both & I like the Western better. Good choice.

Hi Guys
We will also be joining you on this cruise. We have myself, dh, dd's 7 and 10 (at the time of the cruise) and my Mum. We've done a Western before on the Magic but that was in 2009 so it will be almost 3 years between cruises.

We just officially booked this cruise today - yippee! This will be the second cruise with DCL for our group (did a 5 day on the Magic in 2008).

Our group will include me (Elizabeth - the planner), my dh Michael, my mom Gayle, and our 4 kids...Isaac (16), Matt (15), Emily (10), and Abigail (6).

We have connecting rooms booked on deck 2 at the moment.

I look forward to getting to know others as we count down the days until our cruise.

 

[martinezfamily1126]

Hey Everyone!

We just booked our rooms also and are soooooo excited! We will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and are renewing our vows on this cruise. This will be our 3rd cruise. We were originally hoping to go on the Magic (just because we thought it would be easier for us to plan the wedding on a ship we know) but we are thrilled to be going on the Fantasy!

Sofar its Me (Rosemary), Fernando Sr, fernando Jr (9 at cruise time), Sergio (4 at cruise time), Shirley (grandma), Isaaida (maid of honor) and her son Ruben (10 at sailing).

Can't wait!!!!

First off...... Welcome to all the new cruisers here!

We just took a very much unplanned (and fabulous) western cruise last week on the Magic and decided that we really didn't like the new Fantasy itinerary, stopping at two Mexican ports.

So....... since we just took a Magic western (and may take another one next Feb.) we decided to change our Fantasy ressie to a 5 night on the Dream. We were able to move our ressie from this 8/18/12 cruise to the 5 night and got the 10% discount and OBC, while we were onboard.

I hope you all have a fantastic cruise and wish you all well. Since we're sailing on the Dream the day after you leave, we may be one of the people waving to you as you head down the channel.

 

[perkydizbride]

Is it just me and my winter fatigue, or do we all want to get on this boat RIGHT NOW?????
