Welcome to all the new families joining us!! We are getting close to the 1 year mark

 

[figmentnnemo]

I know it has been a while from our last post but now that we are back from the Wonder, I can pay more attention to our post. Alaska was amazing and can't wait till the fantasy. You can count us in for the fish extender. As of now we have early dinner. We might be traveling with another family. they are in a balcony so we have the best of both worlds. We have a inside for the led porthole and they have the real thing. Fell free to PM us if you want more info about alaska.

Welcome Figmentnnemo!! I love you screen name

 

[verygfy]

They have starting releasing some information on the Fantasy

I am so excited!! We are almost at the one year mark and there is details on the ship.

I am so excited about the BBB!!

I posted the link on the FB page for anyone that hasn't read about it!!

Here's another link to more information, including Minnie Mouse statue

We decided to give up the idea of a inside cabin. We priced out a balcony and it was less then $300. . So we moved to a real view and not a virtual view. In all of our cruises, this will only be our second balcony and third this a window. Not that we are in our cabin much but I do like seeing daylight when we are there. We requested aft balconies. On our last cruise with a balcony, we noticed they are bigger then the standard ones and offer a better view. The one downfall is that you fell and hear all the docking procedures.

Just found this link to the ship yard:

Now I am hooked for the next 371 days till we sail

 

[verygfy]

$300 difference for an inside to a balcony, that's a steal of a deal!! How many people are traveling with you? The aft balconies do look a lot bigger, I considered those when we were booking to, but was nervous about aft. Not that I should have been, probably a silly move on my part..

I know a year is still so far away, but after having this booked since October and to be able to say next May to people when they ask and not have them look at you like you have 2 heads is a wonderful thing!!

I can't wait to see what else unfolds. I definitely like the look of the adult area on the Fantasy a bit more then on the Dream, I am sure glad they kept Skyline. I wonder if they are going to keep Meridian as well.

 

[figmentnnemo]

For now it is just the two of us. If you are going to make a more do it now. the prices already went up right after the new announcements. If they keep it up, the sailing will fetch top dollar and be sold out by the end of summer.

After having the two bathrooms on the Wonder, we like it and I need the extra space to hang my diving gear. the balcony will be nice so i can try to dry some of it outside

Anyone planning on seeing POTC this weekend?

Our cabin is now 9672! Our Exchange student (Sira) and her mom (Walburga) have booked, by Sis and BIL and my Mom are all booked also!

 

[figmentnnemo]

Even though I missed the one year countdown. It is close enough. BTW you can count us in for the fish extender. We do not have a cabin yet and if DCL do what they did for Alaska, we did not know until 40 days out. We are still hoping to us our DVC points but we still have a long ways to go.

Hope every one is having a great weekend.

Hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing and safe holiday weekend!!

I was reading through cruise critic this weekend and came across this horrible story about a pastor who was in a car accident while in Cozumel and ended up in jail. I wanted to share for everyone on here, just in case anyone was thinking about renting a car in Cozumel.

On a more positive note, I got my Castaway Club Compass which had the same basic information we all knew about the Fantasy , but I still got pretty excited about how we are downhill from here!!
