April 5th 2014 Fantasy Caribbean Cruise

Thanks! And what does everyone know about the WiFi situation on board? I've been perusing the stuff on the Disney site and it says the Onboard App is free to access, but I don't see much about what it costs to have WiFi otherwise.

Wifi is available, but it's all expensive. I personally try to avoid the outside world....

This will be our first cruise and I am new to these boards. Do we post our info on this thread to be included in FE or is there a separate list? So excited!

From what I understood, you don't need to purchase wifi in order to use the onboard app. It somehow automatically connects while you're on the ship. Of course this means your phone will have to actually be on, so check with your phone company about any possible roaming charges you might incur.

Leave your wifi on and turn your cellular off. This will avoid the possible roaming problem.

Your phone needs to be in airplane mode for the app to work. Also, download before sailing. I never got it to load quite right on the device I had forgotten to load it on before we left once we were at sea.

Thank you

I haven't got a fancy smart phone, just a tablet and/or a laptop if it were worth bringing them, but sounds like it wouldn't be. I don't intend to be on it much, but it is nice on occasion to check in on what I'm missing back at home.

 

[Lindalouwho]

Getting really excited now!!!! Paid in full !! This is our first ever cruise.......!

Does anyone know if Disney cruise line uses Magic bands on our ship the Fantasy?

It may by the time we are there. There was a post on the boards where I think I saw they were rolling it out to the other ships real soon.

We should have them for the kid's club. I don't know that there is any plan for them to add them for adults anytime in the near future.

I'll be closing the list on the 5th and begin dividing up the rooms as evenly as possible. I have the most recent adds as well, just haven't posted yet.

Any that have not provided a room number will be removed so please check to see if your info is correct. As of right now, there are only 34 who have provided the minimum information needed (room number and # of people). I'm missing room numbers for many...

Thanks,
Matt

My BF, Ron (50) and I, Nichole (38) will be traveling on this cruise with another family. We just learned about the FE exchange and would love to join in on the fun if it's not too late and there isn't a requirement for a child to be in the room. Our stateroom number is 9521. Thanks so much!

I'm excited to get the FE swap list in the next week or so. I've started working on my FE gifts, as I want to make them myself, so figured I'd need plenty of lead time. Plus, it gets me even more excited about the cruise!!! I'm hoping to meet some of you while on board. I'm a little nervous about seasickness with my daughter, and about two straight days at sea. But I'm sure they will keep my wee one quite busy. I've heard nothing but good things about the experience from friends who have gone before.

And now I can finally send private messages! Made it to double digits. Hooray!
