HI everyone on the May 19th eastern cruise. Just wanted to say if anyone wants a Cat 5E, room 5546 extened varandah, I juat gave it up. HAPPY CRUISEIN" EVERYONE.
PS beginning OCT. 19 , the cat. will change to a 4E and more $$$.
I decided to check 2013 prices to see about booking. It seems that trying to book at 1:30 on opening day didn't really help anything. The price for 2013 May Fantasy cruise for a 5c like we have for this cruise is actually more right now than what we booked in July for this cruise. We will go on our May 2012 cruise and have a blast but then I think we will give cruising a break. My DH wants to do something different anyway. It's just so hard to pass up the 10% and the OBC that comes with booking while on a cruise. We have never been to Disney World so maybe we will do that in 2013!
It's impossible for a good Mom to be a bad Dis'er
Hopefully everyone has heard/seen the announcements of new water features on the Fantasy. I am on an awkward hotel computer, so won't try to post links.
I must say DCL went up a bunch of notches in my book. As I read the dueling reviews 1) complaining of same pool size on Dream (with 1000 more passengers) versus 2) it is a sin to complain about pools![]()
I thought that no way can DCL do anything about it. pools take depth into decks below.... just no fix.
Their solutions are clever (I thought)
So let's get excited about May![]()
You can always book it with a dummy date, and then decide later whether you want to keep it with the discount and perks.... That's what I intend to do.
We are doing b2b cruises and a few days at WDW in May to make my husband's trip from the middle east worth the four flights both ways.
I'm really sorry that you won't be on the 2012 cruise with us. I really wanted to see your FE and meet you. Best of luck and we can only hope to "see ya real soon"Hi all, we have switched to a 2013 cruise. I hope you all have a wonderful cruise full of pixie dust and memories!
First let me say I love our group too! And I am sorry that your husband will be away for a year. Tony will be gone this weekend and we are not sure that we are okay with it. I couldn't imagine a year! I hope he is safe and well and that it goes by fast!I just have to say, this group is pretty special. Sorry I've been gone for a while, but it's amazing to see how you all follow each other and support each other. The group has become a family, even so far from sail date. Pretty amazing.
While I haven't written much lately, I've been following everything and would like to add my well wishes.
My husband deployed to Afghanistan (embassy, not military) in September and will be there for a year. I work full time, and have my little guys, so I have been reading this only once a week. We are doing b2b cruises and a few days at WDW in May to make my husband's trip from the middle east worth the four flights both ways.
I really like the additional water areas on the fantasy. How cool that they
added so many. I'm assuming fro the lack of a mention that the adult pool will remain the same. Interesting.
Again, thanks to all who have not only organized us, but determined our name, designed our logo, organized the bracelets, everything. Amazing group!
glad school is going well. How is your mom and when is her surgery?214 Days until we set Sail! I can't wait as school is really taking up all of my time!
We booked our 2013 cruise but are going to try the Dream as I can't miss
school and the 7 night cruises were soooo much more expensive in 2013 then they were in 2012 and since I'd have to go during Spring Break or the Summer well we went for a 4 night instead of no cruise at all.
But we will savor every one of the 7 nights we are going to be on the Fantasy
for in 214 days!
glad to see you check in. I agree about the water area. If it's too hot I will see what the triplets did to the deck for sure!Haha-- thanksI just think that life is crazier this time around... I felt so much more on top of things on the boards
the last time we did DCL... But our group was MUCH smaller! This is a huge Dis-group, which is absolutely fun and fantastic-- I just can't keep up, lol
I agree on the changes. They could have just left things the way they were and went with it, but I think they really take opinions into account and want
to make it the best they can. There's nothing quite like Disney customer service, and I think this is one of those cases.
I, for one, can't wait to make full use of the pool deck no matter what they put on it![]()
glad school is going well. How is your mom and when is her surgery?
