**April 6, 2013** - Fantasy Eastern Caribbean to San Juan!

For all of you previous DCL cruiser:

My DH and I are avid cruisers! However, this one will be our first DCL cruise. I see many of you are "repeat customers," that have booked additional cruises while being on a DCL cruise. I'm wondering, are the discounts really worth it by booking "on ship"? I'm going to have to start planting seeds in my hubby's head so there's no sticker shock when we investigate booking while on board.

Yes, it's worth it! When you rebook on-board, you get a 10% discount plus on-board credit - the amount depends on the length of cruise (for 7 night cruises it's $200.) If you change your mind, you can always cancel the reservation and get your deposit back up until 3 months before the sailing date. And if you don't have a specific date in mind, you can book a dummy date.

Thanks!! Will start looking at dates now.

Opted for one of those Gauranteed Stateroom deals so I won't know what cabin # until much closer to cruise. Will just let you know last minute. Thanks.

No problem, the FE list closes on 2/10.

It was the first time we tried the ski's and they made it much easier what we could do with now is something to attatch for the sand at Castaway Cay as the sand chairs are too big for my little tinkerbell. Fingers crossed we don't have to negotiate any sand to get to our cabanna x

Hi everyone! I would love to join this thread. We finally decided to book a Disney cruise (we have done two other cruises before, but not with Disney) now that the kids are old enough to really enjoy it!

My name is Layla and we hail from outside Seattle. We will be taking our two DD (Astrid, 8 and Alyse, 5) for a wonderful Spring Break cruise. We did a guarantee room, so we don't know our stateroom number yet.

Ironically, I was born at Cape Canaveral hospital, and have tons of family in the area. I hope to see a few of them for breakfast on embarkation day, as we will be flying in the night before.

I would love to have our family (me, DH, and both DDs) added to the FE gathering! I have never done one before, but I have slogged through dozens of posts and it looks like I need to get going!

Thanks for getting us all together in one place. I can't tell you how excited I am to think about getting out of the cold!

Starting to get so excited! My oldest daughter asks me everyday how much longer until we leave. I am going to make a countdown chain with her, but not until 30 days out. Making a 60 day chain will be a little too long .

Welcome to all the new cruisers!

Welcome to all the new cruisers!

We have made Mickey head magnets and numbered from 30-1. The kids rotate days to pull one off the fridge... it's so exciting to see them get so excited!

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the new faces!

We made a 30 day countdown chain the other night. I thought it would take longer, so I started early and then my girls started helping. We finished it really quickly. So, it's hanging up in my DD's closet until the 30-day mark.

Mummylee -- love the skis!

I officially told my DD's dance company director that she will not be at the "mandatory" rehearsal over spring break and she hasn't raised a fuss, so fingers crossed that it won't be a big deal. My DD is the understudy for one part, but it's not a major part.

I think we just need to go shopping for some new sandals for the girls since they are both growing like weeds and then we are all set. Well, at least we should be. I know I'll want to buy things as the new spring stuff comes out.

Great idea on the count down!!! I've already gone on Pinterest to get ideas.
