May 30th, 2015 - Fantasy Western Carribean

[Disneyducks12]

We will be on this cruise as well. Me, my husband, and our daughter (6). We were originally booked for the Oct 3. 2015 cruise but just found out this weekend we are pregnant, so we have had to bump this up quite a bit. This is the first cruise for all of us. I am surprising my husband with a secret vowel renewal on the trip. Looking for some advise, as it will only be us on the cruise. Disney says that the wedding coordinator can not help me get dressed. Of course there is no way i can tie up my dress myself. Has anyone else done this? Who helped you get dressed? Thanks so much!!

Your vow renewal will be so amazing! Congratulations and on the new baby how exciting I am doing a cruise wedding the sailing right before this and I know the shoreside coordinator said the coordinators can't help with certain things, but I really doubt they wouldn't help you in your dress, I'm sure if you need to be zipped up or what not she will do that and I hear they are much more accommodating on board I wouldn't worry to much about that! but what day are you getting married on?

I don't know yet. We just changed the cruise date a couple of days ago. I haven't been told which date. I am excited and looking forward to it!!

 

[Disneyducks12]

Sounds great! I hope you get the date you want

Just booked today! Couldn't pass up the great pricing on the GTY Verandah stateroom! Just three of us traveling this trip. We did this exact cruise last summer. Excited to be back on the Fantasy! I didn't know about FEE last year. Is this something more appropriate for younger kids? My family will include DH, myself, DD (21). Definitely interested!

For FEE do you bring a gift for each cabin/person per day? Per cabin/person per cruise? Thanks for any advice!

Hello geety. Please see my posts 132 or 94, it gives more info on the FE. Please let me know if you would like to be included. You would be in our 6th group, and as of right now that group has 11 other cabins with 37 passengers.
Many participate in the FE without any kids. Many tailor their gifts to the age of the person they are giving to. I'm almost 50 and I enjoy it a lot.
It's your choice to give to each person in your group, each cabin, or both. You give to them just once during the cruise though, and again it's your choice of when to pass out your gifts.

Read through some of the older posts.

So far, we are trying to get anyone interested to go to Fishlips the day before the cruise. We are flying in Friday and staying in Cocoa Beach. Fishlips is where the Port Webcam is (I was just watching the Fantasy sail away). The Dream sails away that Friday, and I'd like to be there by 4PM or so to see her out. I think the Carnival Sunshine also sails out of port Friday.

We have group T-shirts being made (orders closed last week)
We have 2 private Mixology classes on the first sea day (Sunday) I think there are 2 or 3 spots open in the 4PM class)
We have a meet and greet in The Tube from 2PM - 3PM embarkation day. Bar will be open for us.
And of course the FE. We have over 75 cabins, in 6 groups participating so far. I'm keeping that straight via a spreadsheet. If you join the FE, I will email you a copy.

Hope you join the FE, I know the others in the 6th group would like it to fill up (15 cabins max per group)

Cheers
Jeff

Jeff...just sent you my details via email. Late to the game FE wise, but we have had this cruise booked for a while. We are first time Disney Cruisers and new members to the board. Excited to be on this cruise and my wife and I along with our two boys (8 and 10) look forward to participating in FE activities.

Stephen - I tried to send you the FE spreadsheet, but you had a spam blocker bounce my email. I just want to make sure it went through after I did the verification.
Thanks
Jeff

 

[SPV]

Yes - I did get your emails with the link to the FE spreadsheet. Thanks Jeff.

Hello, Our Family of four is cruising the Fantasy on May 30, 2015. We have cruised the Dream (4 day Bahama) 3 years ago and are excited to do a 7 day cruise.
I am hoping my kids Sarah age 10 and Jacob age 7, can find some friends to hang out with on board. I would like to join a FE group, but don't know a whole lot about it. We are on Deck 6. Let me know if we can join in the fun and what the "rules" are. Thanks. Patty

 

[FSU88]

Hi
Several new families have expressed interest in the FE, but they have not given me their full info. See the posts above on what to provide and how to provide it. I want to include you guys in the FE, but so far no one has confirmed to my email.

fsu88@bex.net

I need confirmation before I will add you and send you the list of other cabins.

You need to look at the previous posts on what to do. We still have room for all of you but I need the confirmation.
You just need to look at a couple of pages of previous posts to know what I need.

Let me know ASAP.
Cut off for any new FE families will be MAY 1st for sure, and maybe before if the last group fills up.

Cheers
Jeff

 

[FSU88]

Hi Patty, I got your info and you have been added to the FE group.
For the other 3 families that wanted to get into the FE, please send me an email so I can send you a copy of the FE roster.
The last group is almost full now, so the sooner I get it the better. After this group fills, we may not open another.
Thanks
Jeff

 

[FSU88]

Cut off for the FE is this weekend. I need confirmations ASAP

 

[FSU88]

The following members need to contact me ASAP if they want in the final FE group.
