4/14/2012 7-Nights Western Caribbean on the Fantasy

[hgon76]

I am doing the happy dance!
Jetblue made some changes to their schedule a couple of weeks ago so I called and I was able to change them both to non-stops with better times! My return was at 12:10 with a 3 hr layover at JFK arriving in BOS at 7:20 pm. Now I leave MCO at 11:50 am and arrive in BOS @ 2:42 pm!! That one-way flight is priced at $582 (before taxes)!! I was hoping this would happen...those non-stops on Saturday are SOOOO expensive and when I called about the changes, they offered them to me without asking!!

Ugh! They changed mine too but I thought I would've had to pay the difference if I changed.

Now I'm doing the happy dance too!!I called JetBlue & explained that I didn't realize I could change to a different flight w/o paying the difference. So I had just confirmed the change they had given me (6 am departure on Sunday morn w/ a stop in JFK). So she said "Oh 6am is way too early. How about a nonstop MCO-BOS @ 9:45 am?" Ummmmmmm, YES!! Thank you for posting! One more reason I love the DIS!

AWESOME, eh? So glad the info helped you out! Spreading the pixie dust around when I can. Whenever the airlines make changes to their schedules you can make a one time change to your tickets without paying fees!
I booked under 2 different itineraries and going down they put me and my 2 DD's on one flight (via buffalo) and my DH on another (via JFK)! I was originally calling to get us on the same flight and they offered me non-stops!! A couple of days later, I called back to change our return flights (via JFK) and those times only changed by 5 & 15 minutes!!! There's some pixie dust for ME!!

Hello everyone ...

to all of the new families!!

I wanted to let you all know that I will be reviewing and updating the list today and tomorrow around work when I am able to do so.

We have been dealing with some serious family issues that almost made us have to cancel the cruise but we discussed it last night and are going to try desperately to stay on target for this sailing.

Can't believe we are so close now ... hope everyone had a wonderful close of their summer and are enjoying the beautiful fall ... minus the freak snowstorm!!!!

I tried to get dining specifics out of concierge last month, but was told that it was too early yet! Booking will open up for the Maiden voyage for Platinum & concierge guest the 1st or 2nd of December!

 

[hgon76]

Do you think we'll have to wait til people return from the maiden voyage. Score we learn anything about rotations? Also, aren't we the 1st Western sailing on the Fantasy??

Hi Kat,

I hope that you will be able to sail with us. If you need help with organizing the FE list please let me know. I can't remember if I sent my info to you.

My DS will be turning 5 on the cruise. Maybe they will see each other in the Oceaneer Club/Lab.

My DH and I will be abandoning our 1 1/2 year old at his grandparents and will be joining you all on this cruise. We will also be celebrating DH's birthday while onboard. Can't wait! Now to somehow lose 25lbs before we sail

Hope all goes well for you and your family. Our family has been going through some pretty serious issues the past 5 months but things are beginning to look up. Hope to use this cruise as a celebration. Good luck to you and yours

Logged in to my reservation this morning and there is more availability now for other categories. What I saw was GTY but if anyone wanted to upgrade and didn't find availability now might be the time. I upgraded from our 9B to an 8B GTY. Of course I am hoping we end up with something better than a 8B, but that the gamble. We were in 2538 if anyone was looking for a cabin in that area.

 

[cruisermag]

I changed yesterday from a 6B to 9A Gty to save $450. Curious to see what we end up with.

 

[hgon76]

just downgraded from an 8D to a 9B, which is originally what I wanted anyway but it wasn't available. Only saved $200, but I'm happy ! And I am now on the side of the ship so that Castaway Cay will be right out my window! Had to edit to note...I just noticed that I am now in your original stateroom "Tinknalli" Thanks!

 

[Tinknalli]

Looks like a good room location with good reviews! It was hard for me to give it up! But, I think I like the surprise of the GTY. Hope it works well for you!
