Disney Fantasy - June 17, 2017 - 11 night Southern Caribbean

[Lori Arena]

I'm not sure there still is a Fish Extender group here. Stasia5 was doing it, but she had to cancel the cruise. She posted at that time the names she had on the list, but I don't know if anyone else is maintaining the list.





ANYONE????

Ok, please let me know if you get any new info on this.

So, I was online at 11 p.m. (12 a.m. EST.) to get all of my reservations. There are no more times for Palo Brunch, so my Dad and I elected for dinner. We were able to get all of our excursions though.

I'd suggest keeping an eye on the Palo availability. There are times that people book "just in case" they want to do it, and cancel it later.

Also, DCL holds back a number or reservations for booking onboard. You can visit the Palo reservation desk after boarding to see if there is any availability. The location/time for that will be noted in the Navigator you get in the terminal.

Anyone notice how early our on board time is in Tortola??? 2:45pm that's about as early as I've seen. We're on shore at 7:00am but if you're planning to get off the boat and be on your own. Beware

I'm guessing that's due to the distance between Tortola and Castaway Cay. I also know that some ports have a deadline of when you need to leave by, but I don't know if Tortola is one of those ports since this will be my first time there.

I agree - it's the distance.

Good Morning Everyone!
We are late to the party but we just booked last night!!
I went through a long night of buyers remorse but I am super excited about this cruise.

It is myself and hubby and our son (22) and daughter (18)! We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and my DD is graduating from HS in May.
A very milestone year for our little family...

We have only cruised once, and that was 5 years ago on the Magic. I would love to to part of a FE group, if that is a possibility.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Welcome! It is going to be a fantastic cruise. You will love the Fantasy.

FYI - I still have bouts of buyers remorse about this one! Ha ha!

Congrats on your anniversary. Last December dh and I celebrated our 30th on a Princess cruise.

There was a Fish Extender group started here, however the organizer cancelled the cruise. She did post a list of the people she had at that time.

It seems that no one, officially, has stepped up to take over the list. But, possibly those on the list are still going to do it on their own, and are just keeping track of who's on it. Don't know for sure.

Do we think O' Gills is going to be big enough if we get a lot of people in there for a M&G? If I remember correctly, the Fantasy O'Gills has smaller areas of seating and is smaller than the ones on the Magic and Wonder. It has been a while since I've been on the Dream, so I can't recall the size of that O Gill's.

It's a bit smaller than the pub areas on the Magic & Wonder. But it can hold at least 50 (probably more) people. If we overflow, we can just flow out into the La Piazza area. Not everyone needs to sit.

This picture doesn't show the seating behind me (the picture taker), but there was enough space to my right and behind me for at least 15-20 people.

Oh yes, we'll be there - hopefully you will too. I just added it to my schedule so I don't forget!

P.S. We've played trivia in O'Gills several times.

Hello Lucas... DW and I also will be "kid-less" and would enjoy meeting fellow cruisers.

Invitation to all who are interested in getting together.

We have a couple of sea days right out of port on this itinerary. How about Day 1 (6/18) 2pm in O' Gills?

Post a reply to let us know if you're in.

Just posting this again for anyone new.

Hi all - Just got off the re-imagined Wonder... Very nice. Thought I would share some observations on MDR updates with my upcoming cruise mates. They did a really nice job with Tiana's Place and Animators Palate. There is a stage and live music at Tiana's... playing jazz of course. Tiana comes around and visits all the tables. Animators Palate has significantly updated the screens on the wall. Don't want to spoil that show too much but I will say, be sure to hang around long enough after dining. Think you will enjoy!!

Welcome to DCL and Disboards! I did about 9 Carnival cruises before my first DCL cruise, and there is no way I'm looking back now. I might do Royal occasionally, but DCL is now my favorite cruise line.

I want to say that we are not going to be participating in any fish extender group anymore. Have fun. I will look forward to meeting everyone at the M&G for those who will be there.

We're not on this sailing, but we're doing the 11 night Southern Caribbean in 2018. Its essentially the same itinerary, except we'll be stopping in San Juan, Puerto Rico instead of Tortola.

Can someone please come back and update either here or on trip reports!?!! Please!

Specifically, I want to hear about what was different from a 7 night cruise. Also, I'd love to hear about some of the different ports.

Thanks!!
