April 13, 2013 - Western Caribbean Fantasy Cruise

[Harpenden Family]

Hi Fantasyfan2013
Thank you for your message.

Sorry for delay with my response, I had forgotten my password.

Really looking forward to our first cruise.
Listen out for us. Perhaps your husband may recognise our accents as English and nit Australian. (I was constantly asked if I was Australian when we were in Florida last year) .

See you in April.

We made our final payment last night, as well as a reservation at Palo and an excursion. So excited! I guess we should get airfare next...just hoping for the prices go down! It will be my husband, daughters (9 and 7), son (5) and me. We are looking forward to experiencing the Fantasy!

Hello everyone! Totally forgot to come here until after I paid the cruise off and made some reservations for Palo! The Mrs and I will be joining you all! Its out first time on the Fantasy and we can not wait! Now the fun in planning excursions - was kinda bummed to see that Rum Point Beach was not offered in Grand Caymen as that was our #1 choice on all 3 islands Also considering Paradise Beach for Cozumel but not sure about the taxi situations and what not - anyways - is everyone excited

Milliepie was really quick with the design request. Here are two possible designs, both of which I think are great. I am having trouble deciding which I would like better for the t-shirts. I think I am leaning toward the one with the Mickey globe, but I like the ship too! Again, I am completely open to other suggestions. As well, Milliepie is willing to do something else like one of her life preserver designs if folks would like that better. What do you all think?

Hello who you doing I want to know if I could used your logo for a t shirt thank if I could get the logo on my email jesusisraeltorres@yahoo.com

Hi Heidi can you confirm that list 2 is still open until we reach 15 - I see list 3 is up but want to be sure I don't finalize my FE shopping at just 13 families on list 2. Thank you! Also, is there a way that you can add a blank line between rows 22 & 23 on list 2? I tried to add a line but I couldn't and I tried to move myself to the end of the list but that didn't work either. Thank you!

Hey gang. I haven't checked here for awhile but do follow the Facebook page closely.

Tonight I purchased our airfare TO Florida. We'll arrive pretty late Friday night and will stay at the Hyatt at MCO. Return airfare from our favorite airport (Milwaukee) isn't out yet. Hopefully it's a good deal. I pulled the trigger on buying one way because the rates were good (total for 4 of us including seat assignment was just under $500). I don't think the rest of the month of April will be out until mid to late October. At least I know we are going to Florida--maybe we won't be able to come home and will just have to stay there forever!

The t-shirts are really neat! I may be interested. I've tie dyed MANY a shirt for WDW trips and DCL cruises. Even tie dyed 20 shirts for my DS's class trip to WDW a couple of years ago. I love to tie dye. It's become a regular hobby thanks to Disney trips.

I haven't signed up for FE exchange and haven't decided whether I want to. Is the second group full yet? Just curious if anyone knows. Thanks!

Are you from Wisconsin? We are from Racine & will be leaving Friday out of Chicago.

There is still one more spot on list two for one more cabin and yes we did open up list three in case people wanted to be on more than one list. I don't know how to add a line but I will have my computer savy hubby take care of it on sat. I can't wait been working on my FE gifts already

 

[FantasyFan2013]

I get the conept and it sounds like a really fun thing to do What kinds of gifts do folks get? Is there any price range that people stick to? Thanks!!

Hi everyone. My family is booked too on this cruise. It's the 5th or 6th for my DH & I & 2nd for my DD. it's the three of us traveling - me(35), DH (37) & DD (3). Anyone else with young ones? I've seen the fish extenders before & always wondered about them. We might want to participate too; my DD loves presents. I asked to join the FB page too. Also from MA, as it seems so many are.

Anyone have any experience with the kids club for 3 year olds? She's pretty outgoing and goes to daycare but I just want to make sure she wouldn't just be wondering clueless if there's no organized activity that I told her to do.

Sorry, finally reading through all the threads.. We have cruised with my daughter when she was 1, 3, 4 and new she's 5yo... She is very shy and quiet, she did have a hard time at first when she was 3 yo, but by the end of the cruise she was having a great time and the counselors were wonderful. One of the counselors from our cruise on the Wonder was the counselor last year on the Fantasy and after 1 year, when she saw us she remembered all of us including my daughters name. They really pay attention to the young ones and include them. I can't speak highly enough about my experience with them.. So no worries!!

There is no price range, whatever works for you and your family. Gifts vary. Some people are really crafty and creative while others prefer to give items that represent the state they live in. We enjoy participating and coming up with neat things to give. I like that we are keeping the groups to 15 rooms...makes it more manageable.

Hi...We are going!! We are so excited!! We took a 4 day Disney cruise about 4 years ago and never got to go to Castaway Cay because it was too rough We are hoping we get there this time

 

[heidibilotti]

I think I made all requested changes to the FE list. If anyone has anything else just let me know. There is one spot on List 2 and plenty of room on List 3. You are free to do more than one list if you wish. Hope everyone is having a great weekend looking forward to seeing all of you in the very near future. Time to start to think about packing.

Hey everyone!! We are so excited to be joining you all on the Fantasy this April!! I booked the cruise last July, but have been in Nursing School, so I haven't really had time to spend on the planning until now.

This is our first cruise ever and we are VERY excited! It will myself, my DH, DD 15, DD 12, and DS 10. Since we are first-timers, we don't get to book excursions, etc. until next Monday. Hope there are some good ones left!! I've read through all 24 pages of this thread and just keep more exicted with each post!

Heidi -- we would also love to do the fish extenders . . . sounds so fun! I tried to add myself to list 2, but wasn't able to. Would you mind adding me? Is that last spot still available? I also joined the Facebook group, so would it be easier to send you our info on here or on there? Either is fine with me - just let me know.

Can't wait to see you all in April!!

Amy
