What characters have you guys seen on the Fantasy recently?
We were on the Fantasy in April (Easter week). It was a Star Wars Day at Sea cruise, so there were Star Wars characters on that day. Looking at the Navigators, these were the characters that made appearances: Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip & Dale, Daisy, Belle, Tiana, Peter Pan, Captain Hook & Mr. Smee, Donald, Stitch, Tinkerbell, Captain Jack Sparrow, Jake the Neverland Pirate, Buzz Lightyear, Queen of Hearts, Woody, Dug, Russell, Doc McStuffins, Princess Sophia, Geppetto, Cinderella, Jiminy Cricket, Aladdin, Ariel, Needleman, George, and Jessie. There was also a Princess Meet & Greet (Cinderella, Belle, Tiana, Ariel) and a Frozen Meet & Greet (Anna and Elsa). A Disney Junior Charachter Breakfast was also available. I'm sure there may be a few that I forgot to mention. Many character appearances----you just need to decide which ones are "must sees", otherwise you will spend your cruise waiting for each character. Have fun!
We cruised June 3-10 on the Fantasy and I have highlighted the ones we had available in Pink. The list changed significantly after dry dock.
Interesting! Hopefully they add a few more. It looks like the took off most of the more rare ones I was hoping to see. Lol.There were plenty to keep you busy. We just had the much smaller list than those who cruised before the dry dock.
That would make sense! I didn't think about that.I may be mistaken, but I *think* the entertainment cast changed at that point, which would change some of the characters available - especially the face characters.

I agree with the face character part, but didn't understand the costume character part, which most of them were.
Because just like the face characters they have to go through extensive training for different roles and there are different requirements for different sizes.
A lot of the characters are also different performers around the ship, so sometimes not everything matches up every time.
It's not just popping on a different 'costume'. It's not like the parks where you literally have hundreds of people to call on, there numbers are very low.
The cast didn't change over dry dock, but changes were made during dry dock because of things like new programmes in the kids clubs that require different characters, and then people can only work a certain amount of hours a day.
Do you think they will hire more staff to adapt to character changes or will there probably just be less characters from here forward?
