We will be on the Fantasy in the Caribbean on July 4, 2020. It is an "at sea" day and late in the cruise, so I don't think it will be pirate-related but it would be cool to incorporate the two. Wondering if they do anything special such as extra fireworks, special outfits for the critters, etc.? Thanks for your help.
We were on the Fantasy the past two summers over July 4th. 2017 10 night southern, 2018 11 night southern Both years the atrium was decorated, there was crafts and a special menu. 2 nights of fireworks on each cruise, the 4th & pirate. on July 4th, one yr in port, one at sea, following yr it was opposite
2017 we were in St. Kitts, but all aboard was way before the July 4th celebration on the deck at 7:15pm. Show was wonderful, characters in patriotic costumes, similar pic in above reply. Very well done. Amazing. Not sure how long maybe 1/2hr. Following year our family kept talking about how good it was, and looking forward to it again. Pirate night was June 30th, with "normal" Pirate show. Fireworks both nights.
2018 at Sea on July 4th, we were supposed to have some type of character show about 4pm on deck never happened it rained earlier, took them at least 20min to decide if they were going to have whatever that show was, they wound up having a few characters walk around pool area, would not allow characters to stop for pictures, which is not the same as other times when you see characters out, you can usually snag a pic. It was bizarre the way they announced it, not the main person who runs activities, such as cruise director or club host, just one of the younger guys that wear red & blue stripe shirts. Unfortunately the show at night on deck was no where near as good as 2017. Not put together, hardly any characters, not patriotic at all, or lengthy, A real let down from the year before. July 6th was pirate night, this time it was the "new" pirate show, we were in Martinique during the day.
I remember last yr there was some discussion on this, not sure on Dis or our cruise FB group. There was another family who had been on both cruise too, and she was not happy with the change for the July 4th celebration from the prior year. Disappointing! Maybe try you tube to see the diff., but Hope Disney listened and they have a similar show to '17.
Still luv cruising with Disney thou. We will not be on the Fantasy this summer, of course, if I was I would still go see the show to compare again. Trying Wonder in Alaska, not over 4th, no fireworks in Alaska anytime.
