April 21st, 2012-Saturday

So I woke up early. I want to say maybe 5:45am I can't really remember. I checked facebook and I wasn't the only one cruising today up, others were as well. Dad was out of the room walking around and getting us drinks again, so I got ready for the day. Dad got back and we chilled for a while around 7:00am we headed to get breakfast. We ate outside and it was great. After breakfast went back to the room and got the rest of our stuff ready and then we headed back out to go to the gift shop at the hotel and take some pictures.

We stopped by the this lounge at the hotel and dad got some fruit, while I got a bagel and milk. We then headed back to the room and dad brought the bags to the car while I waited and then we left to head to port. The drive was boring but good and no trouble. We went to Ron Jons Surf Shop and then we went to drop the car off at budget. We waited in line and finally after a while got a shuttle to port. We got to port around 11:00am and we got in no problem. We checked in and then went outside to see The Disney Fantasy in person.

While outside we got to meet Kylend(Kyle). Soon After this boarding started and we were heading onto the Disney Fantasy, but first we had to get the boarding picture.

Next Up: We Are On

CSR was a really nice resort, we stayed in building 9B which was a perfect location, a short walk to everything. The resorts restaurants were very good and the I really like the decor. I don't know if all the buildings or have it or why we were lucky enough for it, but there was a VIP lounge where they offered complimentary breakfast and had things like fruit, cheese and a variety of beverages(non-alcoholic) during the day and evening.

So we boarded the family I got a couple high fives, and saw some people who recognized me from other ships. They told us what was open for lunch and off we went. We took a elevator up to deck 11 and got a drink and explored the ship a little since it wasn't even 12:00pm yet.

We went and got some lunch after a while and it was great to eat lunch on the ship, met someone I had been talking with on facebook. And I also got a drink of the day. I was happy.

After lunch we went off the explore more of the ship.

I don't know where my dad was, but he took a few pictures of us sailing out.

I explored the ship a little more and then headed to the Walt Disney Theatre for A Fantasy Come True show, dad met me there and we watched the show which was good. After that I made plans with my dad to meet up with him before dinner and then I went to check out the Europa area. After a while I ended up in the Atrium where The Dreamers were playing.

Dinner was at Royal Court tonight, so we headed to dinner where we sat with two couples a younger couple and some newlyweds. We also met our servers who were Imola, Siri, and Plamen. Imola for took food orders, Siri was took drink orders and Plamen was head server. Dinner was good tonight and everyone was nice. After dinner I headed to The Tube, Match your Mate was tonight and it was funny. After that Guest DJ Alex Metallic played music. I went to the bar and got my first bud light of the cruise and chilled in The Tube for a while. Max who was the club host came by and said hey to me, he thought he had seen me before, so he wanted to say hey. After that I got another bud light and then went and walked around the ship for a while.

yes the mosaics in the restrooms in Europa were something, funny thing is before the cruise all my friends who had cruised the Fantasy before said check out the bathrooms in Europa and then that first day when we were checking out that area and another lady who also cruise told me to check out the bathroom

Dad came back and we finished getting ready and then head up to Cabanas for breakfast which was good. After breakfast left my dad and told him I'd meet up with him for the Castaway Club reception later that morning. So I walked around the ship a while and went to the shops and bought a few things. After that I met up with dad and we headed to the Castaway Club Reception at The Tube, we got to talk with a friend Amy we met onboard which was nice. We also got a picture with Captain Mickey.

After that split up with my dad again and walked around some, saw they were doing a Princess Gathering in the Atrium.

After that headed up to deck 11 to grab some lunch at Cabanas. It was good after that I went and chilled on deck 4 for a while. I think I might have fallen asleep. The rest of the time till 4:00pm is a blur, at 4:00pm went on the Art Of The Theme Ship Tour which Pierre-Luc did and it was good, had done it on the Wonder when I cruised. After that went back to the stateroom and took and shower and got ready for the show and dinner. Dad came back before I left the room and we decided to meet up in The Walt Disney Theatre and he also took a picture of me.

So I headed to The Walt Disney Theatre to see Aladdin which is a new show on the Fantasy and is hella good. After the show went to The Tube and saw Lloyd Mabrey family show with my dad. We left the show a little early and headed to Animator's Palate for formal night dinner.

After dinner headed back to the stateroom to change and then headed to The Tube to see Michael Holly adult show, after him was London Rocks theme night which was cool and then Guest DJ Alex Metallic played music again. Tonight Frank joined me at the bar and we talked for a while.

Woke up around 7:30am. Dad was around the ship getting drinks and doing some stuff. I got ready for the day. Dad came back and we talked for a while. I then left to walk around for a while. We made a plan to meet outside of Palo a little before 10:00am for brunch. So I walked around a while.

At 9:55 or so met up with my dad and we went to Palo for brunch. Brunch was great again. We ate lots of yummy food, this time I didn't over eat, though I did eat plenty. Here are pictures from brunch.

After brunch headed back down to the stateroom to change. After changing I split up with dad and walked around some more. Saw a Character Dance Party happening in the Atrium.

It was a great martini tasting. Met some nice people there. After that I headed back to the stateroom to get ready for dinner and the show. I did a video tour of the stateroom.

http://youtu.be/MBEqFX7ktV0

I went and got some pizza, so I knew I wouldn't get hungover. Then I headed to the show, but on the way there saw Lilo and Stitch and a cast member asked if I wanted a picture with them, I felt bad since there was no line whatsoever so I got a picture with them.

Saw the show Disney Wishes tonight, which is a new show for the Fantasy and it was good. After that headed to The Tube to see Michael Holly family show. Then I met up with my dad after that and we headed to dinner which was in Enchanted Garden tonight and was good. After dinner I walked around for a while and then headed to The Tube to see Lloyd Mabrey. After was was Rock The Tube with DJ Alex Metallic

http://youtu.be/X_EZUAsZl7M

so stayed there and had a couple beers, talked to Frank for a while and also talked to Max some. After a while we left The Tube, Frank headed in for the night while I went and grabbed some pizza from deck 11. So I ate pizza and got a soda. Saw Max, Kat, and Matt and said hey to them, I swear they are the nicest people even when they are off duty, guess they aren't for NJ/NYC/PA area. After that I called it a night and headed back to the stateroom, but not before getting some tea.
