Okay I have not been on the disboards in a while - I am really just realizing how many people are from Louisiana on this cruise - that is weird - I wonder if it is because we get out of school so much earlier than much of the country - of course we are back to school the first week in august and much of the country is not but oh well.

Well Hello fellow cruise mates. We will also be on this sailing.

there will be myself, DH Shannon, DD Jaden (13 at time of sailing) and DD Madi ( 9 at time of sailing).

This will be DH and I's 3rd cruise, 2nd on Fantasy and DD's 2nd cruise. We sailed on the Fantasy in June 2012. That was supposed to be a once in a lifetime cruise, because of the cost. Well, that turned into booking a dummy date onboard, knowing we would have to wait til 2014. We really enjoyed the Eastern itinerary.

I will PM my info for the FE. My girls really enjoyed handing out gifts and receiving. My only suggestion is if a large number of families want to participate, please split into groups. We had 3 groups which were still quite large. The ship is really BIG.

Can't wait to get to know everyone.

Jaime

Is this Jaime from Louisiana? We are going to be cruising together again! Lol! ... Angelle

Hi fellow cruisers!!

We recently just changed to this date and itinerary from a Thanksgiving cruise on the Western itinerary. We were worried we wouldn't have nice weather during Thanksgiving, and most of our group has never been to the Eastern Caribbean. Me and my husband will be traveling with our 2 year old son, along with my parents, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, friends etc.. We also are from Louisiana!.... right outside of New Orleans, St. Bernard Parish!!

Hey everyone

Haven't checked out this thread for a while and I LOVE how many DISers are joining this cruise!

Even though we are heading to WDW in December, I am still soooooo looking forward to this cruise. We can't wait to get back on board The Fantasy and it's going to be wonderful to meet you all

We are still undecided on where to stay after the cruise but the flights from London are already booked (thank you air miles!!) - we are thinking of using our DVC points for OKW, any of you guys ever stayed there?

Any-Hoo - enjoy your Monday everyone

We have never stayed at OKW due to the fact that not all buildings have elevators and I have a knee problem that makes stairs difficult to navigate for me. However, the grounds are beautiful and I have heard the rooms are bigger than other DVC resorts. We have stayed at BWV, AKV, BLT, and SSR. If you have any questions about any of those resorts I would be glad to answer.

Thanks for the reply
We've stayed at BWV and SSR before and really enjoyed them both. VWL is our fave resort though
OKW seems like a great points value and as we have another two trips planned we need to be economical

Just stopped in to see if there was anything new going on. Lots of people from Louisiana!! We will be coming from Michigan. It's too early to know for us when the last day of school would be but I don't mind if my son misses the last few days anyways. This year all they did was a field trip or watch movies. I personally think the Eastern Carib would be one heck of a field trip
