Boo to the Halloween on the Highs Seas Crew

[TestingH2O]

I hadn't seen those spider web window decorations before. Cool!

 

[chamberlain]

Beautiful pictures of the Fantasy! Glad you went down to find the sea sick meds. That's good to know that you can just go down there and select from a variety of pills any time you need.

 

[jenseib]

YAY I am loving these cruise photos!!

Thanks

Great pictures of all around the ship. It is a really beautiful ship.
That's good you could get out to take them in the early morning without the crowds.

I'm an early riser on vacation so I tend to take pictures when I can then.

Enjoying your report so much!!! You're pics are beautiful! You mentioned most of your night pics were from your point and shoot camera and phone? What point and shoot do you use? Love them and I find it hard to get good quality pictures with the smaller cameras..
Thank you!

I have an Olympus Tough. It's a couple years old and I know they have newer models. It also can go underwater.

wow I really miss seeing this ship!!!! Your pics are wonderful!

Thanks

I hadn't seen those spider web window decorations before. Cool!

It was the first time I had seen it too. I hadn't even seen pictures of them before.

Beautiful pictures of the Fantasy! Glad you went down to find the sea sick meds. That's good to know that you can just go down there and select from a variety of pills any time you need.

I had heard but never actually ventured to look.

We had some time to spare before breakfast so we went to the Atrium.


As we were standing there we spotted Abby and Gail walking up the stairs.

sail122 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Abby is all about the characters and she was getting in line for Minnie, so Claire and I joined them.


sail89 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Claire is giving me her goofy look as we wait in line.


seaday17 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail90 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail92 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail93 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Abby was first then it was our turn!


sail123 by Jenseib, on Flickr


seaday18 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail94 by Jenseib, on Flickr


seaday27 by Jenseib, on Flickr


043 by Jenseib, on Flickr


044 by Jenseib, on Flickr


I had gotten all the kids autograph books. I will no longer be buying Claire a book in the future. She thought it was “lame” to get autographs most of the time. Alexis was even worse about it. And carrying around the book is kind of a pain when your child doesn’t even care to use it.


We still had time, so we headed off to see Woody.


sail124 by Jenseib, on Flickr


He was a lot of fun!


sail125 by Jenseib, on Flickr


seaday1 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail96 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail126 by Jenseib, on Flickr


006 by Jenseib, on Flickr


005 by Jenseib, on Flickr


And it was now time for breakfast. We saw Goofy and Abby wanted to go see him but we didn’t have the time. She was mad, but we promised he would be out again and we would take her.

We ran into Amanda who was heading to Royal Court for breakfast. She kind of was debating on coming with us, but she didn’t have a ticket. Rob and Alexis had still been sleeping and were supposed to meet us at breakfast but Gail kept messaging them and calling and there was no response. We didn’t want to give away their tickets in case they showed up.


So we parted ways with Amanda and went off to Animators Palette to have breakfast.


sail98 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Katie’s family had already arrived and we made our orders and soon characters were coming.


brunch1 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Jude thought the whole thing was lame. LOL. He is the same age as Abby, but he thought these characters were for babies. I suppose when you have 2 younger siblings who watch the show, you are just too cool to like it when you are 7.


brunch2 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Luke loved Sophia though.


brunch3 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail99 by Jenseib, on Flickr


She made her way over to our side then.


brunch4 by Jenseib, on Flickr


One thing I noticed was that the characters pretty much skipped the older kids and adults unless you flagged them down. Claire was next to Abby and they would ignore her till I would say something. Claire wouldn’t have been heart broken, but she did want to be part of the fun too.



Oh and Alexis and Rob had not shown up. Gail was a little mad about that.

 

[jenseib]

Next up was Jake. You can see Katie giving Jude a lecture at this point. LOL. He was proclaiming this lame at that moment.


sail101 by Jenseib, on Flickr


brunch10 by Jenseib, on Flickr


brunch5 by Jenseib, on Flickr


My donut. Let’s be honest…this is what I was here for! LOL.


sail102 by Jenseib, on Flickr


We then got a visit from the Doc…who my granddaughter calls “Muffins”.


sail103 by Jenseib, on Flickr


And the head cheese himself was making the rounds. Violet wasn’t so sure about a giant mouse.


brunch7 by Jenseib, on Flickr


brunch11 by Jenseib, on Flickr


See Luke’s little bag he is holding? We did a private Fish Extender exchange between just our families. Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles could also deliver prizes as well and they did. Mom had gotten little bags for all the littler kids and they just loved them and carried them around the whole time with all the supplies one might need to get through a meal without being totally bored.


brunch8 by Jenseib, on Flickr


I really enjoyed this FE exchange so much better. We had 6 kids and we tried to deliver each day a little something, some days better stuff than others, but in the end we were able to get the kids better stuff than doing a public one. A few times some people from the public one must have had extras because we did end up with a few things extra on a few occasions.


brunch9 by Jenseib, on Flickr


And time for food!


sail104 by Jenseib, on Flickr


It was tasty. It’s nothing over the top, but a decent meal.


Rob and Alexis arrived just as we were finishing up and Gail gave them holy heck…letting them know that other people could have used these tickets and they were wasted. They both said they were just so tired. Gail and I figured next cruise it would just be her and I and Abby. Claire had been a bit grumpy this trip…remember she had told me that she would rather be in the parks than going on a cruise…and no one asked her what she wanted to do…. And Alexis was at this point just not in the spirit of the fun…… A lot of that due to her being so tired from a busy week beforehand.

Abby was just the picture of a child you want on a cruise with you. She was so excited about everything. She loved the characters, she loved the clubs. Everything was fun and she wanted to do so much.


Time to leave


sail105 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail106 by Jenseib, on Flickr


And I snapped pictures on the way out.


sail107 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail108 by Jenseib, on Flickr


And a stop in the bathroom where I snapped a picture.


sail109 by Jenseib, on Flickr



We moved down the hall and I had Claire pose….sort of.


seaday26 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Abby was a much better poser.


seaday2 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Back to the Atrium we went.


sail111 by Jenseib, on Flickr


And Jessie was out!


seaday3 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Claire and Alexis said they would meet her but they were not taking autograph books. LOL.


sail110 by Jenseib, on Flickr


008 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail148 by Jenseib, on Flickr


007 by Jenseib, on Flickr


seaday4 by Jenseib, on Flickr


010 by Jenseib, on Flickr


009 by Jenseib, on Flickr


We still had some time before our next meet and greet…one we had scheduled, so we decided that Claire and Alexis were going to have to spend some time in the Edge. Alexis was totally against it and Claire would have gone to the younger club (they were at the age where they could pick one or the other, but they had to stay with their choice), but with Alexis along she went with Alexis’ attitude about the clubs.

sail112 by Jenseib, on Flickr


We took the elevator up.


seaday5 by Jenseib, on Flickr


And then the stairs up.


sail113 by Jenseib, on Flickr


We got them signed up and told them they had to stay at least 30 minutes in there. They were not thrilled and I think they left as soon as the 30 minutes was up and they never went back. I do know that if Claire had been on her own, she would have used the club much more often.


We then dropped Abby off at the kids club, which she begged to go to all the time, and just relaxed for a bit.


sail114 by Jenseib, on Flickr


I took a walk and heard the horns were going to play so I took some video of them going off. I just kind of randomly aimed the camera without looking. LOL.

 

[dolphingirl47]

I am all caught up again.

The family was all trickling in and getting food as well. We had a couple of tables near each other, kind of by accident and as some of us finished others would take our places.

This sounds like it really worked out.

It was a little chaotic, mainly because people were trying to cut and putting their bags to be loaded before they were confirmed on a bus.

Sometimes I really do not understand people.

The ONLY bad thing was that we got to the port a little later than I like.

I hated this the one and only time we took the bus from one of the resorts.

I liked to get on the ship as early as possible and using the buses from the resorts just won’t get you there early.

The last time we stayed at a Disney resort, we booked Magical Express for a random flight and then took the DCL bus from the airport.

And it did not have many people in there.


port5 by Jenseib, on Flickr

I don't think I have ever seen it so empty.

We stopped off to get a boarding photo as a group and the photographer said she could not take a picture with that many people. I think she said her max was 12. I told her we had no problem squishing together and we have done it before and she relented.

I am glad that you managed to do this.

This is the best of the bunch, but of course this is the only picture where Violets not looking at the camera too.


001 by Jenseib, on Flickr

This is actually a pretty nice photo.

Next stop would be our rooms. We had boarded after 1:30 so our rooms were open now. After we dropped off our carryon’s we would get some lunch in Cabana’s.

That is at least one advantage of getting there late.

As we were entering the theatre we noticed a popcorn bucket. I want to say it was around $8-10, but again I could be way off. We decided to get it. It could be refilled for 1.50 and I knew we would take advantage of it each night.

That sounds like a really good deal.

We settled into our seats with Mom and Amanda and started munching on the popcorn when we saw a Vampire Mickey go by. Wait! That’s the same one they had at the parks! We waved the waiter down and I ordered one of them and mom ordered one for Abby. Again these could be refilled for $1.50. I am glad I got it on the ship! We would put this guy to good use.

That was lucky.

They changed the chocolates! They are now Ghirardelli.

I never liked the old chocolates, but I would love those.

I never once got into the adult pool on the Fantasy or the Dream. I will have to remedy that in the future.

This pool is the reason why we never considered the Dream or Fantasy.

They offer a couple of Disney Junior character breakfasts. You do need reservations for them and they can be booked at the same time you make your shore excursions.

I had not realised that they now offer a character breakfast. I like the idea that you have to sign up for it.

I love all the photos from around the ship.

Corinna

 

[jenseib]

This sounds like it really worked out.

It was a pretty relaxed morning

Sometimes I really do not understand people.

Some people just feel they are entitled. It amazes me how many rude people there really are out there.

I hated this the one and only time we took the bus from one of the resorts.

It does suck coming in so late

The last time we stayed at a Disney resort, we booked Magical Express for a random flight and then took the DCL bus from the airport.

Yes, I do know some people do that. For me it was too much of a hassle...especially with such a big group, but even if it was Claire and I am not sure I would do it.

I don't think I have ever seen it so empty.

I have. LOL. I have arrived many times real early and one time I did a ship tour and we got there really early and were basically the only ones in there except for a few back to back cruisers.

I am glad that you managed to do this.

Yes, I wasn't taking no as an answer

That is at least one advantage of getting there late.

Yes!

That sounds like a really good deal.

For my popcorn loving child it was great.

That was lucky.

And we had happy kids

This pool is the reason why we never considered the Dream or Fantasy.

It is pretty but the set up is strange. I know when the Dream was built there were a lot of complaints and people had hoped the Fantasy would modify it, but they didn't.

I had not realised that they now offer a character breakfast. I like the idea that you have to sign up for it.

Yes. I think about a year now? This is how it is for all the ships now I believe.

I love all the photos from around the ship.

Thanks

After just chilling for a while we met up with the girls and Gail got Abby and we headed back to Animators Palette for our scheduled meet and greet.


sail115 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail116 by Jenseib, on Flickr


I am sure the snowflakes are clueing you in here.

seaday6 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail119 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail120 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Yes we were meeting the Frozen Sisters! This is a meet and greet you need to schedule. It is on the website, just like you are making an excursion. They have very limited tickets and I found out in the cruise group I followed that many people did not get tickets. I know they hold some back that you can get when you board, but again it was limited and I know a lot of people didn’t get any. Here is what I found though. I think the actual kids really only need the ticket. We had tickets for adults and kids, but the kids were really only the ones who cared to meet them. I think if we had just gotten them for the kids or just 1 adult and the kids, we would have been fine and then that would have left more tickets for others to have.

012 by Jenseib, on Flickr


seaday8 by Jenseib, on Flickr

Gail’s family jumped in.


sail128 by Jenseib, on Flickr


And then I did.


seaday9 by Jenseib, on Flickr


014 by Jenseib, on Flickr


013 by Jenseib, on Flickr


We had another meet scheduled for after this one….the Princesses.


We got in line and Rob said he was just going to watch. As I was standing there a lady with a young girl came up to the CM and asked if there was any way to get her daughter in the line. He told her no, this was for those with tickets only, etc. He told her to go to guest services and ask if they have tickets. She said she did and they don’t. He told her to put her name on a waitlist, and again she said she did and she is on every wait list possible. LOL. I looked at Gail and she looked at me and at the same time we said…we have an extra ticket! Gail fished out Rob’s ticket and handed it to her and the lady was so happy and so was the little girl. We were happy to spread a little magic!


Abby has a thing about being first, so they were ahead of us.

Violet was behind us. She was so darn cute.


seaday28 by Jenseib, on Flickr


We came up to Ariel next. We handed the pen and book over and she loved the pen. We have pens with my company name on them and they are shaped like a paintbrush. They are the coolest pens and I always get a good reaction from people when they see them. Ariel was really impressed and we got this look a lot on the trip.

sail140 by Jenseib, on Flickr

Now I had prebought the picture CD package before sailing. I told Claire we had to get at least 2 pictures a day to make it worth it and she grumbled and since today we had gotten so many she was sure she was done for the rest of the trip. LOL. We did get a few more, but I really wish we had gotten more to make it a better deal. I am such a sucker for pictures, but when your kid grumbles, it makes it hard to get the most for your money with the package.


We got a bite of lunch to eat next.


sail150 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Again, I sucked at taking food pictures this trip.


There was a hypnotist onboard and his show was at 2 this afternoon. His name is Ricky Kalmon and this was his only family show. He was only going to be with us for half of the sailing. Many of us went to the show and it was great. We did a lot of laughing and it was so much fun. The one guy was hysterical. They were told to lip sync to Taylor Swifts Shake it Up song. He was doing moves just like he was Taylor and we just died with laughter. If he wasn’t really under then he did a good job of faking it. He was doing an adult show another night and we decided we wanted to try and make it. Geoff said he was going to volunteer too.


Then the kids went swimming and I just kind of roamed around.

I was looking at my navigator and found that Goofy was coming out. I quickly ran to the pool and found Rob and asked him if I could take Abby to see Goofy since she really wanted to see him earlier. She quickly got out of the pool and dried off and put her cover up on….which was a handy down from Claire. Abby wore a lot of outfits that Claire wore on her first 2 cruises and I was so happy to see more use of these.


Abby and I went and got in line and were talking. I asked her if she remembered much from the first cruise we all took together and she didn’t. I was surprised. Now she was only 3 then, but we really had a great time and I would have thought some memories would have stuck….but she said no, she couldn’t remember any of it.

After a bit, Gail joined us. She said Rob told her we were here so she wanted to capture the moment too.


sail151 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail152 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Abby was intrigued with his nose and whiskers and the CM told her not to touch them. I didn’t think she was really being rough, but I guess they don’t want kids doing that and she stopped right away.


seaday10 by Jenseib, on Flickr


seaday11 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail153 by Jenseib, on Flickr


She was very happy with the meet and we headed back to the pool.


sail154 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Alexis and Claire were going on the Aqua Duck!


sail155 by Jenseib, on Flickr


seaday12 by Jenseib, on Flickr


There they are!


seaday14 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Gail took some video.

And then Abby went with Claire

sail156 by Jenseib, on Flickr


seaday13 by Jenseib, on Flickr


They did this several times and at one point I went and got my suit on and had to go on with Claire and then Abby too.


And then the girls all went swimming again


Sisters being sisters in the pool.

After a bit I told Claire we needed to go get showered before the show and tonight was formal night. Though we are not super formal, we still wanted to look nice. Gail said she was staying for just a bit more and would send Claire off to our room as soon as they left. That gave me time to go back and shower first and start to get ready.

After a while Claire still had not come and I started messaging her. Finally she came. I think they were just having a lot of fun and no one wanted to leave….but too bad, she needed to get cleaned up.

 

[jenseib]

I am flying out to Florida tomorrow and finishing up packing and all those last minute things today. I will try to get back on before I leave and finish this day out before I leave. I have it written up, but I need to proof read it and correct any errors.
If I don't get back before I leave....I'll be gone a week and will work on finishing up once I get back. I have almost all the pictures edited so I just need to finish up the writing!

 

[KarriTigger]

I think I still prefer the Dream in looks, but this one is pretty similar.



I never understand why this is "fancy".





I am pretty sure you are sailing on the June 28th sailing...am I right? If not, someone in that group has a very similar name.
My friend Cass is from Canada too. She isn't a fan of the exchange rate either right now. LOL.

No - I am not! I wish I was....no cruises booked for me for a while...until that dollar goes up!


It's a lot of work, but I enjoy it.
I am not sure what TICO is. My guess is it is something for you locally?

It's an Ontario thing...you have to be a TICO grad in order to sell travel in Ontario.

[Grumpy's Wife]

Have a great trip to Florida. Are you headed back to Disney?

Wow! So many pictures. You did an awesome job with that. I've been on a cruise and didn't see some of the things you posted.

I know it's kind of sad that Claire isn't wanting to get the autographs any longer. Why do they have to grow up on us? It really is nice and freeing not having to stand in those long lines. Now when we head to Disney we no longer have to stand in those long lines for the character meet n greets. It's just nice if we see a short wait time to jump in line. No pressure to get a certain princess or character.

 

[dolphingirl47]

Animator's Palate seems to be such a strange venue for a meet and greet, but I love the photos.

I looked at Gail and she looked at me and at the same time we said…we have an extra ticket! Gail fished out Rob’s ticket and handed it to her and the lady was so happy and so was the little girl. We were happy to spread a little magic!

What a nice thing to do.

There was a hypnotist onboard and his show was at 2 this afternoon.

I don't think I have ever seen a show like this so early in the day. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[jenseib]

Have fun!!! We will be here to enjoy whenever you get back.

I ready for a get away!

Have a great trip to Florida. Are you headed back to Disney?

No, this time Universal Studios...it's a work trip.

Wow! So many pictures. You did an awesome job with that. I've been on a cruise and didn't see some of the things you posted.

I try to get around the ship as much as I can to see different things.

She did not listen to me at all and stay small. She is pretty much the same height as me now.
I did like the scheduling for that factor too.

Animator's Palate seems to be such a strange venue for a meet and greet, but I love the photos.

they have been doing it there for a while now. At first it did seem kind of strange but I guess I am used to it now...though this was my first actual meet and greet there.

What a nice thing to do.

It really made them happy.

I don't think I have ever seen a show like this so early in the day. I am glad you enjoyed it.

I have heard of it being done before but I don't think it is normal. We love hypnotists, so it was a must do for us.

 

[jenseib]

Tonight’s show was Aladdin! I was excited to see this one. I knew it was pretty similar to the one at Disneyland, which I loved, only tamed down a bit for a moving cruise ship.


We got our popcorn and found our seats. Amanda fell in love with Aladdin! And I will admit, he was pretty hot! I would tell Amanda…oh this is one of my favorite songs. ….all through the cruise I would do that during the shows…and Amanda started teasing me that I had a lot of favorite songs.


At the end I took a few quick cell pictures on my phone.

It was fantastic. We really enjoyed it.


Abby enjoyed the streamers that fell at the end too.

After the show we went back to the room to leave the popcorn buckets and our towel animal was out.


sail143 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Back in Gail’s room, Abby was having a ball. She was very impressed with her “formal” self.


formal3 by Jenseib, on Flickr


We wanted to get some pictures taken so we all headed to the atrium.


Cinderella was passing through.


sail144 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail145 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail146 by Jenseib, on Flickr


The atrium was packed and the lines for professional photos were all super long.


sail158 by Jenseib, on Flickr


We decided to just go off to the side and do our own mini photoshoot.


seaday16 by Jenseib, on Flickr

formal2 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail160 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Ariel was out visiting with people too.


sail147 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Then it was time for dinner so we headed into Royal Court.


sail161 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail162 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Claire and I ordered the Princess Delight. This is one of our favorite drinks.


sail163 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Someone had wine. I guess I felt compelled to take a picture of it.


sail164 by Jenseib, on Flickr


I got the escargot. Whenever I get this, almost always does someone ask if they can try it. I always think…it’s included with your cruise fare…just get an order and if you don’t like it…pass it on to me. LOL.


sail165 by Jenseib, on Flickr


People started putting their plates out for me to take pictures.


sail166 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail167 by Jenseib, on Flickr


This was mine.


sail168 by Jenseib, on Flickr


As was this.


sail169 by Jenseib, on Flickr


This was Amanda’s allergy free appetizer.


sail170 by Jenseib, on Flickr


A lot of times they just would surprise Amanda with the appetizer and dessert. She really kind of felt spoiled at times. I think she liked almost everything they brought out for her too.


This was my entrée. It was ok, but not great. I wasn’t a fan so much of the noodles. It wasn’t bad, but I didn’t love it so much as to want to eat the whole plate.


sail171 by Jenseib, on Flickr


They came around and took photos.


023 by Jenseib, on Flickr


After dinner, Geoff got an expresso and the cup was so tiny and I took a picture. However, you can’t tell how small it is in the picture.


sail172 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Dessert time! I love the soufflé here!


sail173 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Aunt Mary got “Nothing”


sail174 by Jenseib, on Flickr


Claire probably got another Mickey bar....or her and Alexis skipped dessert so that they could go and get a cone up on deck.


I took a few pictures of the restaurant.


sail175 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail176 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail177 by Jenseib, on Flickr


sail178 by Jenseib, on Flickr

 

[jenseib]

Most evenings after dinner I really didn’t see much of Claire. She would hang out with Alexis and often with Amanda or Aunt Mary and Geoff. Sometimes they would go to the DLounge to watch Karaoke or whatever game show they would have. They kept saying they were going to sing, but I don’t think they ever did. I would just go off on my own, or sometimes just chill in the room..or head to the club with Geoff or Amanda. Tonight, some of us were going to go see Taylor Mason, who is a ventriloquist. I have seen him in Feb, and I enjoy him. Come to think of it, I think he was part of the show the first night too, which is why we wanted to go see his adult show.


I took a walk for a bit before it was time to meet up. I love the lights in the water.

Amanda messaged me that she had a table in the Tube and I made my way in there. There was a game going on when I arrived and it was funny to watch. The teams had to collect items to bring up for points and it was hysterical. Guys wearing high heels and bras and stuff like that. It’s funny to see these women take off their bras right under their shirt with hardly any effort. I have never mastered that talent myself. LOL.

Here are the guys carrying purses and wearing heels. It was pretty funny.

After the game ended it was time for Taylor.

He works with the crowd and though his shows can be similar, they can be different too, depending on the audience.

After the show I went and got a drink up top to take back to the room for Claire and I and then I messaged Claire to come back to the room as well. I think tonight she was waiting for me when I got back.

We flicked on the tv and watched a bit. It has a sleep timer, so I would set it to go off in about 30 minutes.


It was a great day and we really packed a lot in. I had scheduled our breakfast and meet and greets the first day so that we would have the rest of the cruise to do what we wanted when we wanted. I think it was a good decision.


Tomorrow was another Sea Day and we were happy to be able to have more relaxing time.

Tonight’s show was Aladdin! I was excited to see this one. I knew it was pretty similar to the one at Disneyland, which I loved, only tamed down a bit for a moving cruise ship.

Oh, I would have loved to see this. I really liked Aladdin at Disneyland.

I would tell Amanda…oh this is one of my favorite songs. ….all through the cruise I would do that during the shows…and Amanda started teasing me that I had a lot of favorite songs.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this. I think I have a favourite song from most Disney films.

It was fantastic. We really enjoyed it.

I am glad that it was enjoyable.

Dessert time! I love the soufflé here!

I love it, too. This is my only must have dessert on DCL.

That is a great idea.
