Hi! We are from central mass! The Dream was just great which is why we want to do the Fantasy. As far as any tips go...

- Bring your own blow dryer - the ones they have are lousy
- Save your glass if you buy a drink on deck - then they charge you less for the next drink
- If you don't have an excursion planned in Nassau, don't bother getting off. It is very dirty and there are lots of seedy people. I was just waiting to get my bag snagged. We would not get off the boat here again. Our friends, who we met at dinner, had the same experience we did and feel the same way.
- Keep an open mind about sitting with other people. We have a great experience and know that these people will be friends for a looonnng time.

When do you go?

This winter wasn't bad for cold weather, a lot of snow though..... Makes one appreciate spring summer and fall all that much more!

For those coming from MA....Continental has releases their fares. $700 ONE way from Bos to Mco on the day before cruise (Friday).All I can say is the other airlines better do better than that!

Anybody here was thinking of making the fish extender? This is my first cruise but it sound interesting. I had always like gift exchange.

My daughter and I are making one. We would love to participate in an exchange. Seems like a lot of fun for kids (and adults too I guess). This is all new to me. Does something like this generally get coordinated closer to the sale date?

 

[Tinknalli]

Check your rates again. I was looking at fares through kayak and when I clicked though the link to the Continental website from all of the airports we fly out of the rate was much cheacher than Kayak was showing. They had flights out of Bradley for $99 on 4/13. I also say $141 out of Albany NY. $153 Burlington VT and $158 from Manchester NH. I am thinking even though Bradley is over three hours away we might fly from there. For some reason none of these rates carried over to Kayak.

Checked again yesterday and Continental had a fare from Providence for $117 one way, and Boston for $114 one way. Tried to book, couldnt! Was on the phone for a 1/2 hour waiting for customer support. When I got through, I was told it was because it was more than 337 in the future. Checked when i got off the phone, and it was exactly 336 days. So checked website AGAIN this morning, price was up to $174 one way from Providence. Still not bad for April vaca week. Tried to book, again, couldn't. Called Customer support and was told it may have something to do with the Continental/United merger & that they were updating their website this weekend. Was told to "keep trying". I was SO mad. Told her, while I know its not her fault, Continental should honor the price on THIER website! Don't post fares, that you have NO intention on honoring. Not happy! Have never booked Continental before, and after this experience, will probably never book them in the future!

Logan is just so much more convenient than TF Green for us & we prefer Jet Blue nothing against Southwest! TF Green is really easy to get into & out of never crowded.

Already booked Jet Blue for December & Spirit for February out of Logan waiting for Jet Blue to release it's fares through 4/2012.

Southwest is releasing its fares through 1/4/2012 on May 24th!

Will not fly Oldline carrier's if I can help it!

 

[Tinknalli]

We'll be waiting for Jet Blue as well. We fly amost exclusively with them. The kids love the TV and unlimited snacks.
