Hi Olivia! My name is Marina and I'll be 16 on the cruise. Are you on the facebook page? If you are then I can add you so we can start messaging!

We aren't able to book until May 19, but we've narrowed down some of our choices:

Cozumel: off-road to Jade Caverns or the ATV beach break
grand Cayman: stingray city with island tour, or my backup: anything with snorkeling. Marina disagrees.
Falmouth: Dunn's River Falls or the race thing - can't remember the exact name!


Marina is also looking for other teens to do the CC teen excursion. I plan to be laying on SB drinking adult beverages.


What are you planning to book?

I would love to do the teen excursions with her if she wants to start talking before then, my email is: olivia07450@aol. com if she's interested. I'm going to be turning 15 soon. How old is she?

I'm turning 16 in the middle of June! I just sent you an email. I'm not on kik anymore though

Our plans as of this moment are to book the "Rio Secreto" in Cozumel. I have read wonderful reviews on Cruise Critic and Tripadvisor. The ferry ride over to the mainland does not excite us, but swimming in the dark caves seems like a once in a lifetime experience. I'm thinking this wouldn't be a great excursion with young children, but my older boys thought it sounded fun!

We are booked on a private jet ski tour to Stingray city in Grand Cayman already.

Not sure with Jamaica yet. Going to do some more research this weekend! Definitely will be booking through DCL, though.

Anyone else making decisions on shore excursions yet?

 

[JKSWonder]

Nachi Cocum in Cozumel for us. Thinking of doing Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman and Dunns River Falls in Jamaica.

What do you get to do at Nachi Cocum that is different from Castaway Cay? Is it because you want another beach or there is something special there?

Trying to learn our options...

Thanks...

Beach, pool, unlimited drinks, food included, brought to you by your assigned waiter. Mr. Sanchos is similar I believe, but we haven't been there. If we were traveling without kids, I would opt for the DCL tequila and food pairing tour. Nachi is just a good option for our kids. Considering what's included, it's also a well priced option....$162 for the four of us, plus the cost of a cab each way.

I just want to say hello to all who will be traveling on the Fantasy August 16, 2014. This will be our 2nd Fantasy cruise 8/12 was the first. My daughter had a great time when we sailed, we couldn't get her out of the Vibe teen club to do anything. We are looking forward to this next cruise. I hope we get to meet some of you this trip.

We are doing Nachi too...excited, reviews look good!
grand caymen we want to see turtle but I think we will somehow do on our own. Disney is a lot more money and I read grand Caymen is safe..
Jamaica..no idea!

 

[yaddakal]

Really struggling now as to when to fly and what to do before and after cruise...lol..it will come!

We did the Turtle Farm with DCL previously, but I do believe it would be very easy to do on your own.

I'm not sure what we are doing in a Jamaica either yet.

I guess we will be at Nachi together!

We are flying in the day before the cruise and staying at the Marriott Residence Inn at the port. Post cruise we are taking DCL transport to WDW for a five day stay there before heading home on 8/28.

Hello everyone! We just booked this cruise--I don't know why we always wait so long! Every time we kick ourselves for not just signing up on board.

This cruise will be our second on the Fantasy (first was last August) and we've taken several on the Wonder over the past 10+ years, including an Alaskan cruise which was terrific.

This time it will be me (Cyndi), DH (Scott), DS17 (Ben), my mom (Rosalie) and my Aunt (Joann). This will most likely be the last cruise that my son will be under 18 and able to go to the teen club!

In early 2013 my mom and her sister both lost their husbands to esophageal cancer. It has been a rough year for them and we wanted to take them on this special trip. We brought my mom on the cruise last year, but it was still really hard for her. I'm hoping this trip they will have each other to be around and enjoy themselves.

So, my husband loves the FE's and I hope we aren't too late to join. I sent a request to the FB page.

Really looking forward to meeting everyone.

Cheers!

Cyndi

Hi Cyndi.

I'm pretty sure the FE is closed, but maybe someone here, instead of on Facebook, would be willing to organize a separate late group.

This is our 4th DCL cruise, with our last one being on the Fantasy in August 2012. It's me, DH and our two kids, ages 13 and 8. My Mom was supposed to come with us, but ended up changing her vacation plans to be with my niece this summer.

Have you decided what excursions you are doing? We booked Nachi Cocum in Cozumel and Dolphin Cove Dunns River Falls in Jamaica. Not sure about Grand Cayman yet.

 

[cyndisun]

Yes, it looks like the FE is closed. But if there is anyone out there, or any latecomers, who want to start a new group I'd be happy to do that. Just send me a message. Even if we only have a couple of families, we can do multiple little gifts on different days. I think my husband and I love the FE's for the same reason we love Halloween--love to see the kids enjoy it. Of course, my DH is a big kid!

No ideas yet on excursions. But we would probably do some kind of Mayan ruins trip at Cozumel rather than another beach excursion. We have done tours outside of Disney in the past and had good luck. I guess I'd better start looking!

Hi there!

There is a Facebook page for the fish extender group. The link to the page is located on the first post of this thread.

There is also a Dismeet scheduled on board the first day of the cruise. That information is also located on the Facebook page.

Can someone give me info on the DisMeet. Since the FE is closed I was not allowed to join the FB page.

Thanks!
