May 18, 2013 Fantasy 7 Night Eastern!

I am great with it being on facebook, I actually see it much more there. Please, NO MORE than 25 cabins. That is pushing it for me because I don't want to give cheap throw away gifts, but I don't want to get too many cabins/friends to feel like I can give nicer gifts.

Karen if it would make you more comfortable we can look at the list and probably close it now and then open list 2?

Personally for myself and my daughter we would be happy with no more than are currently signed up. It is up to the majority though if we leave it open until the 25 cabin limit.

Ok, when I go back over to FB page I will look at it and put up an announcement

My husband and I are super excited to be cruising on the Fantasy. We are celebrating our 10 year anniversary and our inlaws will be cruising with us to celebrate their 40 anniversary. Who is sailing with us? I am excited. Looking to meeting some new people.

Hi all! My husband and I booked this for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We'll be on deck 6. It's our third DCL cruise, but our first that's just the two of us and our first on the Fantasy. If you want us, you can almost certainly find us somewhere in Europa!

We are usually in the "bars" when our kids are in the clubs. As long as we don't have to cancel-we'll probably run into you! It stays pretty quiet on here (dis) since most of the folks have flocked to facebook. But if you ever want to talk cruise stuff here, I always check back when I get an email that people post.....before they move along. (This will be our fourth DCL cruise-first on the Fantasy) If you want to compare notes.....This is the least active a Dis meet up group on disboards I've ever seen Hopefully some folks choose to stick around/come back here a little bit more as the cruise approaches. Have a good weekend.

Yep, that was me! I looked back through the previous pages and saw that most of the stuff was happening on the FB so I went to go join!

Hey, I can hang out here and talk to you. I'm actually not on FB too much. I'm super paranoid that my employer or clients will find stuff on me. Not that I have anything to hide but, you know, I want control over how they perceive me.

We actually were originally planning on doing the RC Allure for our anniversary but we just were on the Dream's NYE cruise and had so much fun that we had the rebooking agent price out this cruise just to see. With the discount it ended up being only a little more than the RC cruise and since we know Disney and trust the brand we decided to go ahead and switch. I'm so so excited. Skyline on the Dream was our hang out for the cruise so I can't wait to see the different cities on the Fantasy. I'm also really looking forward to seeing the Irish pub and Ooh La La.

I'm going to have to start saving up to pay our liquor bill now.

I'm going to have to start saving up to pay our liquor bill now.

We started a change jar last Jan. or Feb. and I started rolling coins last night. I rolled all the dimes and nickles and there was $110 The other half of the jar (restaurant size pickle jar)is quarters so we should have a nice chunk of change to spend by May. We also got $175 in gift cards for christmas this year which was nice.

Right now, we basically won't know if we have to cancel until last minute.(Like 6 weeks before ) Luckily I purchased cancellation due to work insurance. It's been a very stressful time.

We hung out in 687 most of the time on the Dream, so I'm guessing the Irish Pub on the Fantasy will most likely be our hangout. Funny how quickly that tab adds up!

Ha, my problem is that I don't pay for anything in cash so I almost never have change. But I can set it up in my bank account for it to automatically transfer some money from my checking to savings, so that's what I'll do.

Liquor is EXPENSIVE on the ship. We'll probably have to bring some with us this time to try to control costs!

I hope you don't have to cancel. Good luck.

Last cruise we drove so we carried beer and liquor on with us. We will probably try to buy something in one of the ports or if there is someplace close to our hotel. We bring our beer mugs back with us as well.

Yeah, unfortunatly the canceling thing is out of our hands. My husband works at a power plant and has a test that needs to be taken. It's supposed to be in April but things can change....and have in the past which is part of why we are in this situation now. I just wish the dates weren't so close where we could cancel before we paid the cruise off and not have to mess with insurance. BUT, I'm trying to be positive, and just keep hoping we won't have to cancel anyway

This is our second cruise, so I am new to this, but I think that my family would love to participate in the FE group. I have attempted several times to find the group on Facebook, but I have had no success with it. Is there still room in the group? If so, could the right person please contact me.

Thanks!

Welcome to the cruise! I'm the lead person on the fe and the FB page! I sent you a PM. Are you searching Fantasy ship 5/18/2013? We had a family cancel so we do have room, and we are very active over on the FB page! People feel that it's much easier to communicate on FB! Again welcome, hope to hear from you soon! If you still can't find the FB page you can search me @ Beth Hemore and friend request me and we can go from there!

Finally feeling real!

Flight is BOOKED!

Friday night hotel stay is BOOKED!

St.Maarten excursion deposit is DONE!


Now waiting for Feb. 17 to get here, need to decide if we are going to do anything special on Castaway Cay-we never have in the past.....

Not sure about St. Thomas either, it will be my birthday on that port day.

 

[Husurdady]

Worst case ,

Sorry,...... did not know that NAOMI was no longer on this cruise.......You guys all have a GREAT cruise.

 

[maggs1035]

I believe they have started a second group over on facebook, which I am sure has room. Or you can join here (different exchange group) search 5/18/13 to find the group on facebook.

Welcome!

Actually it's

Fantasy ship 5/18/2013 for the Facebook page

It's the same group as here on the DIS, we just feel like its easier to communicate on Facebook!

Hello everyone! Soooo... I just booked this cruise today! Unfortunately, I can never book in advance (this is crazy ahead of time for us!) Hopefully my husband can get home from his deployment in time.

We would like to participate in fish extenders. I've started to read some of the threads going on... but at this point, this group is doing it a lot different than the last cruise we went on. So if someone will just spell it out for me - that would be great! I'm going to go search for you guys on fb... I'm Blair! Thanks!!!
