Fantasy- 7 night Western- August 4, 2012

[TarheelsFan4413]

If there are going to be changes which there SHOULD be based on the recent forecasts when do you think they will tell us?

Spoke with DCL, plans haven't changed as of yet, but the Captain can change course at his discretion.

Oh am quite pleased with that email - it was the Eastern Carribean we wanted to book originally but there wasn't availability or the dates weren't right when we were booking onboard last year so we went for the Western.

Sorry for all those who had bookings and excursions in Mexico and Cayman......for once I hadn't a thing booked other than Palo. Was just looking forward to strolling around the Mexican ports and doing whatever suited us on the day so this change isnt a problem. Will have to do Mexico another time-really just looking forward to the new ship!

We just got the email too - we did the Eastern last year and loved it, but I was looking forward to new ports so mixed feelings. And now one of our FE gifts is wrong so apologies in advance!!!!

I have to admit, I'm disappointed that we had to switch itineraries, but I know it was unavoidable. Trying to find new port adventures to make up for it.

 

[TD913]

Same thing with us. Already did eastern, but it is nice.

Just arrived and saw the email. We had such a great time on our last Fantasy cruise in the Eastern that I am pretty excited about the change. I would recommend the Catamaran/snorkel in St. Thomas.

This is the first time we did not book excursions before it closed online. That worked out well but should be a busy time at the desk.

Now the wait until boarding!

 

[DumboFan]

On the way to the ship NOW!!!!!!
We're good with the switch since we were originally booked on an eastern. See everyone in a few hours!

 

[stacyk9]

Onboard! WOOP WOOP!!

 

[JamesF408]

We are too. Woo hoo!

 

[Tradmw]

Thanks everyone for the wonderful FE gifts! Hope everyone has a safe trip home!

 

[Never to old]

Thanks for the FE fun and gifts. We had quite a few crafty people. We hope everyone had fun and is safe traveling home. Until our paths cross again, may all your days be magical.

Sad to be off the ship. My family loved the FE gifts. I am so glad we participated. Sorry I couldn't make the meet. Our Disney transport didn't get us to the port until after 2pm.

Hope everyone had a great trip!

So sad that it's over! Spent the day at the Magic Kingdom to ease the withdrawal symptoms( well part of the day- took a break to get out of the heat as we're staying just across the road at Bay Lake Tower and then there was heavy rain with thunder and lightening so we 're relaxing here instead). Great view from the DVC lounge of the fireworks so was a nice way to end the vacation. Not
looking forward to the long flight tomorrow !

Didn't realise how much my ds Laura who is 8, really believed in all those characters on the ship until we got to the Magic Kingdom this morning and she saw Princess Tiana posing for photos....' How did she get here so quickly Mom?- i just saw her last night and got my picture taken- the ship is so far away?'
She also didn't notice that the Ariel she saw here today looks different to the Ariel on the Fantasy- she just thinks they're all real. Was really sweet. After four cruises the novelty of the characters just hasn't worn off which is great.

Thanks so much for all the wonderful FE gifts- the kids loved coming back to the room and seeing all the different surprises you guys left for us....wish I was more crafty or creative though. Have got some great ideas for next year! Hope you all got home safely.
Take care!
Siobhan.

Thanks everyone for the FE gifts. We had so much fun finding our little treats! My DD had so much fun passing them out. She was making fun of me for participating but as soon as we got on the ship "can we pass out the FE gifts?" I was the one who had to slow her down! Gotta love teenagers!

I hope that everyone had a great time and easy travels back home.

School starts on Thursday for Jake (8th grade) and Friday for Kristy (junior year - yikes!) Reality will set in tomorrow that summer is over as both kids start volleyball and football.

The cruise was a great way to end the summer. We had so much fun as a family goofing off and seeing a part of the world we never intended to!

Take care all!
Jill

So sad the cruise is over! Hope everyone has a safe trip home! Thank you so very much for all the FE gifts! Cute story our hostess overheard--we had adjoining rooms w FE at each door. A little girl passed our rooms & asked her parents what the FEs were..parents replied that they didn't know but perhaps that's the way the 2 rooms "talked" to each other..the little girl asked why we just didn't open the door & talk--that made the hostess' day. She couldn't wait to tell us. Anyway, again thank you!

We also wanted to thank everyone for all the nice gifts!

We just got home earlier today. First load of laundry is already done and all bags are unpacked. I had so much fun looking through all of our FE gifts again! I know two of you received broken FE gifts and I apologize for that. I guess my packing wasn't quite as good as I thought it was.

Thankfully I took tomorrow off of work so I can get everything else caught up and school starts for my son on Thursday. He is actually looking forward to going back!! *whew*

Hoping everyone had a great time just as we did!!
