Go here for details:

There are pictures and a video, too.

Hey knowledgeable folks, what shops are on board the boat? Is it one, several? Is there clothing?

Three or four main shops... One has clothing (more adult and upscale), one that I refer to as the "Emporium" of the cruise line (souvenirs, DCL branded items, pirate stuff, most of the items you'll bring back for friends and family), and the te store that has all the jewelry (and a spot where you can buy toiletries, sundries and alcohol - which will be held for you until you get off the ship). There should also be a couple of small shops up on the pool deck that sells swim stuff.

So what happens at the ports if there's bad weather?

So what happens at the ports if there's bad weather?

Ya get wet. Sorry couldn't pass that one up. Normally they go on with everything scheduled as the storms in the Caribbean seem to come through and then it's over in an hour. Unless we hit some real bad stuff then they can cancel excursions and the ship will increase on board activities. We have never hit bad enough weather that trashed an entire day so hoping our string holds out. Don't get me wrong, we have been in some holly cow storms but never for more than an hour or so. If weather is bad at sail away they move the party into the atrium.

I should have known I would get a response like that!!!!im just a freak and have been watching the weather. Being a swimmer we used to pray for lightening because they would cancel practice haha water doesn't bother me

Made it to Atlanta with my mom, Jerseybernie from St. Louis. Also traveling with my sis and her son. We kept this trip a secret from them for almost 2 years. The kids thought they were just in town in Atlanta while my mom had a convention. We rolled into Atlanta tonight and quickly had the character call. It was so fun.

Here is the video. Hope it works!

Those in Donald FE group. I misplaced my cute tags to put on kids gifts sometime during my move Saturday. Adult gifts will have "from" tags on them. Just know that when you see our adult gift your kids got gifts too. Can't wait for Saturday!

Hello Ruth! So excited to see a meet thread! I'm guessing you mean July 16 though yes? If so we are also booked on this cruise!

We are a family of 6 and next summer kids will be DD14, DS 11, DS 8 and DD 5. We are from Iowa. This will be our third cruise...we did the Dream in June 2013 and just did the Magic March 2015. Both were such wonderful trips we couldn't wait to go again so rebooked and settled on this week!

We will definitely be in for fish extender exchange and are SO excited to check out the Fantasy and the Eastern ports!

FISH EXTENDER LISTS-(CLOSED)
Please PM me or post on the thread if you would like to join a FE group!! I need to know cabin number and who is in the cabin including age and gender of children. Please also note any allergies or special occasions. We will limit to 10 families per group to keep lists and gift giving manageable with travel. If you have more than one cabin, let us know if each cabin will have its own FE (and give its own gift) or just one to share. We will close lists as we hit 10 families. If you would like to join more than one list, you are totally welcome to do that! Rules are otherwise open, you can give a cabin gift or one per person and can deliver any day of your choice during the cruise(one time). Finally if your plans change and you will no longer be cruising or doing FE please post or PM asap so we can remove you and keep lists accurate! Thank you!

What is the process of getting the tokens for the refillable beer mug?

 

[budamacdvcr]

What is the process of getting the tokens for the refillable beer mug?

Once you have purchased / received your beer mug and you have your first beer you turn your mug into the bartender who will then give you a token. Next time you want a beer, you order and give the bartender the token and they will fill up another mug for you. If you keep the mug on you, you just keep having it refilled until you don't want to carry it around any more and just exchange it for a token. This is so you don't have to carry the beer mug around with you all the time which is how it used to be and man that was a pain. Hope this covers it.

Hi,new disney springs is cool, but it's mainly stores, however they have small train for the kids and lego store, where kids can build race cars. Any Disney hotel has pool and most of them have slides in the pool. p.s. we have a DS6 too, hope they can meet and make friends on the boat

We are coming in around then and staying at the Sheraton Suites airport so we can take shuttle to the disney bus in the morning. They have a nice pool too.
