August 17, 2013 - A Fantasy Cruise to Paradise

[linkandclover]

Hi, sound like fun but no good for me or Richard as we don't drink..... now if it was a chocolate tasting

Actually there is a chocolate tasting offered as well but I am not sure if they do it every cruise.

Me too!

Hm, I never realized that, maybe I need to read that navigator even MORE careful.

We have our 25 for mixology although I must say jumping from disboard to facebook is confusing at times. I would arrange a chocolate tasting as well but I think I can only do one. If others want to I would join in and give you info on how to do it.

With regards to FE, have new people been added on lately and will you be checking to confirm or do we go with the info we have as up to date. I have all my gifts done plus extras. Also are people putting their name on the gifts , keeping them anonymous, or is it up to the individual. (Only asking so I know if I have more work to do).

Glad you found 25 people and so quickly.
Sorry about the jumping back and forth between the DIS and FB being confusing - that's the reason I am not a huge fan of the FB groups. Makes things more confusing.

With regards to FE, have new people been added on lately and will you be checking to confirm or do we go with the info we have as up to date. I have all my gifts done plus extras. Also are people putting their name on the gifts , keeping them anonymous, or is it up to the individual. (Only asking so I know if I have more work to do).

Since I don't know, when you last checked the FE I have no idea if there were new groups joining since then. Sorry.
But I am sure there WILL be some more joining as it usually picks up closer to the sail date.
As for putting a name on your gift, that depends on how YOU like it. Some do, some don't and for years WE have only put our cruise logo on it.

Welcome to the board.
Let me know how many people will be at the mixology. With the number jumping so quickly I will have to see if there is a maximum. You could post the information for the FE or some people just post a series of small posts to get there numbers up so they can PM (where are you from, who are you traveling with, what other cruise have you done?)

 

[cakiesmom]

Great!! Thanks for the information.
DH- Rob
DW- Cynthia
DS Rob - turns 13 on the 18th on our cruise!. So glad to be in a happy place as my oldest enters the teen years!
DS- Benjamin 9 years
DD- Amelia 7 years

We are from Glen Mills , Pennsylvania . ( suburb of Philly and Wilmington, DE).

Room 10596.

If mixology is full already, it's totally fine. We just wanted an opportunity to meet everyone. Any PM for the FEs would be appreciated. Maybe.. what are some of the interesting things that have been done.

Also- having a hard time ordering the Passporter's guide for the DCL. Anyone else have luck ordering the latest version?

Cakiesmom I have you down for 2 for mixology. I also have Gusdmh for 2. If you have registered via facebook let me know so that I don't have anyone down twice.

 

[Woobie]

I just checked the FE list to see numbers. I want to start my gifts. I have so many ideas of what I want to do, my head is swimming. Interesting to see how may teens/tweens we have. Did we decide on a June something cutoff?

We have already started making our gifts. They need a little time to make and I do not want to rush in the end.
Yes, cutoff for the FE exchange is June 30th.

So is tonight the night Platinum Castaway members are up until midnight to log on and start reserving stuff???

 

[cakiesmom]

We are so excited for our upcoming cruise with all of you. We hope to get to Platinum level someday!. Any definite news yet about our dining itinerary? For example, do we know yet which is formal night and which night is pirate night etc? We want to plan a special dinner at one of the upscale restaurants. I've known DH for over 21 years and I still like date night.

Also, DS age 13 wants to rent a tux for formal night. Do any teens do this? I'm really only thinking of a family portrait.

Sunday is formal night, Wednesday is pirate night and Thursday is semi-formal night.

Mine have never rented a tux but it would be a great idea for photos. Normally they do not even wear suits because they would have no other reason or place to wear them. This year was my youngest's Bar Mitzvah so I am trying to get as much wear out of them as possible.

Hi All,

Our family just booked our cruise! It's the second for DH and me (we went on a 3 night Bahamas in 2000 before we were married - DH was a cast member then...boy, that was the life!) This will be the first cruise for our son.

We'd love to join in the fun of FE and mixology (if it's available.)

We are:

Evan (age 8 )
Deb (slightly older than 8 )
and Bill (also older than 8 )

We're in room #5042

I'm excited to "meet" you all - it's so great to have this chance to connect before the trip even happens!

Deb

 

[cakiesmom]

Glad to hear you can join the magic!

Thanks for all who have helped us get ready. So great to hear about the Bar Mitzvah! What an accomplishment. DS will turn 13 on formal night. A tux it is! I noticed on the web site that we can rent them and they will be in our stateroom. The website says Men's but looking further, they also have children's sizes. Now DH will have to step up his game.

Welcome. I have added the 2 of you to the mixology group. Glad you can join us.

We are book for the Aug 17th also. Last year we went on the Disney Dream 5 day cruise and it was wonderful. My son just turned 10 and had such a great time and looking forward to this year. Looking forward to a week long trip.

Yes, Friday was our day to book excursions. And I was up at 6am (6 hours ahead of EST here in Austria) to secure a Cabana and some other stuff.

Yes, the excitement for our upcoming cruises grows here as well. Can't wait to get on the Fantasy.
And don't worry, you will make it to Platinum sooner or later ...... didn't take us all too long.

to our cruise thread, Deb!
What a great decision to get on the Fantasy for your second cruise. Your son will love the new ships ..... and I guess, you will too.
I put you on the FE list, so happy to see so many people participating. It is so much fun.

to our cruise thread.
The double dip cruises on the Dream are so much fun, aren't they? We did one last summer as well.
Can't wait to check out the Fantasy!
