We will be on the Fantasy Western Caribbean this summer. For people who have cruised recently, what day and/or time did you get for the Princess Gathering and the Anna/Elsa meet and greet? Do they all tend to be on the first full day at sea or the second? In the morning or afternoon? And I have NO IDEA if anyone ran into this, but...did either one EVER come close to interfering with the Royal Court Tea? Clearly I have a princess-crazy kid!
 
It probably depends on when you get your tickets. I got mine right away and saw the princesses at 9:00 am on our first sea day and Anna and Elsa at 9:30 on the same day. I saw people still meeting princesses well into our cruise. If I had to guess I would say that those who got tickets earlier saw princesses first and those who got tickets later saw them later

Expect that there will be times on both sea days. I believe times start at 9:00am but it could be 9:30am. Times will go into the afternoon. Before our cruise, I had read that you just had to accept what times they offered when you were at the Port Adventures desk and then try to adjust them later at Guest Services if you had a conflict but that was not my experience. The first time offered to me conflicted with my Palo brunch. When I told the CM at the Port Adventures desk, she said it was no problem and offered me different times that worked for us. I would recommend you go to the Port Adventures desk as soon as you board so you will have the best selection of times available.
 

That's what I thought. The Royal Court Tea is probably the second full sea day and I'd rather do the Princess Gathering and Anna/Elsa on the first full sea day. Believe me, the Port Adventures Desk is my first stop once I'm on board! I'll abandon my family to the pool (what a hardship for them!) and sprint straight there!!! I'd love to be able to do this in the morning which would leave the whole rest of the day free for us. THANKS!
 
FYI we had our princess & Anna/Elsa meet & greet on a port day. All ashore was 10:30 that day and our meet & greets were at 9:15 and 9:30.
 
Anyone know how long the line is generally at the Port Adventures Desk for these tickets? I have a 11am PAT so hopefully will be on the ship by noon? (first time cruiser here!). I will head straight there, but am I looking at a few minutes wait, or like an hour??

We were on board around 11:30, were in line maybe 15 minutes after that, and by the time we got done it was nearly 1:30
 
Yikes--almost 2 hours! That's not what I wanted to hear! Do they run out of tickets? Anyone try going closer to 3? Any chance the line is shorter then?
 
A two hour line! Wow. Was not expecting to hear that. Is that consistent with other people's experience?

I went right to the port adventures desk. There was one person ahead of me and maybe 5CMs helping people. My wait was probably 2 or 3 minutes
