I just booked myself, hubby and dd age 10 at time of sailing for this cruise. My daughter and I have sailed the Wonder for an 11 night Southern Itinerary and are looking forward to the extra sea day for this itinerary!

Just booked this one as well. We were on a 4 day Dream for Sept 2012 but vacation time won't work out. We'll have a 15 month old and a 6 year old. This will be my older DSs 4th cruise. We've never done the 7 day but we loved the Dream last year and are excited for this one.

Hello Everyone,
We just transferred our reservation to this Cruise. We were booked on the Jan 26, 2013, but we wanted to fly direct from Halifax and are hoping for a warmer day at Castaway Cay then what we had at the beginning of this month. It will be me, my husband and daughter(7 on the cruise 6 right now). We just did our first cruise ever on the Disney dream for 3 days, and had a great time so I can only expect that 7 days will be excellent

 

[Shayln]

Hope we do have a warm day at Castaway Cay.

That's why we picked Feb too. Jan was a little cheaper but we're hoping for better CC weather. We were there last year on March 1 and it was fabulous.

Edited to say I'm no longer on this cruise.

 

[ThePhantomsGirl]

I'm the friend next door!

 

[mckivigl]

We booked this cruise while on the Dream in December! It will be me, DH, DD(10), DD(5), DS(4). My DS will have just turned 4 right before getting on.

My parent's are also on the cruise with connecting rooms. We will be on the 6th floor.

 

[gilsan]

How old is your daughter? Hope we do have a warm day at Castaway Cay

She will be 7 on the cruise.

Hello all,
My name is Shayln i'm going to be 12 this 2013 Fantasy Cruise! I would love to have a friend to hang with on the cruise. I also cant wait to see Puerto Rico.

I recently switched my 2013 sail date to this cruise. I'm going solo, Deck 12, but my best friend will have the cabin next door.

I am thinking about joining this cruise if we are living in Port Orange at that time which is the current plan! WOndering if anyone would be up for sharing a larger stateroom?

Well, my friend and I will have shared a Cat. T suite twice before this sailing. We each booked our own Cat. V next door to each other for this cruise so we'd have our own separate rooms (instead of one of us taking the master bed and the other the sofa bed) and can also have them open part of the verandah divider to make an even larger balcony. That's why our graphic says "Solos to San Juan."

Unlike some who are only in their cabins at night, we do enjoy spending time there (especially the verandah). The Concierge Cat. V and Cat. T are the largest available on the Fantasy unless you get a Cat. R Royal Suite, and none of those rooms sleep more than 5. The big problem is that unlike the classic ships, the beds don't separate, even in the Royal Suites. Since I refuse to sleep with anyone but my hubby (who doesn't cruise), my friend and I opted for separate Cat. V instead of Cat. T so we'd each have a "real" bed.

And in the Cat. V, if the convertible sofa is open, it blocks access to the verandah. Very bad design. I'm someone who likes "my space" and doesn't want to be crawling over things to get around.

But it would be WONDERFUL if you were able to go on this cruise! Any chance you might persuade a friend to share a stateroom with you? Are you moving to the Fly-In?

UPDATE: I have switched from this cruise to the 5/11/13 Fantasy so my DH can join me (reluctantly, but it WILL happen!).

 

[ThePhantomsGirl]

As taswira says, even in the Royal Suite there is only ONE real bed! So even in that larger suite, and all that $$, someone is sleeping on a hard Murphy bed. Bad design in my opinion.

Hope you get to come on this cruise!

newbydisney - I just finally recognized your pic and remembered who you are EXACTLY! Now I ESPECIALLY hope you will be able to join this cruise.

We plan on renting a place for the winter...and then perhaps buying in the future...I will be on the lookout for a friend or fellow diser that wants to go n this cruise!
