New Year's FANTASY 12/28/13

[J & C's Mom]

Hello everyone -- I am getting really excited for our New Year's Cruise. I am VillagesBarbara's DD Nicole. I have been swamped with teaching and my kids' activities, so I haven't had much time to jump online to check out the thread. My mom added my family to the roll call a while ago. My daughter will be so excited there are other tween girls on board. She will have just turned 11 when we sail, so all she talks about is the tween club. I also have my (never-short on energy) son who will be 8. Looking forward to going to St. Martin again. There was a bakery on the French side called Sarafina's that was fantastic. I am hoping to go there again. My family and I live right outside of Philadelphia, so hello to any of the tri-state families out there.

Welcome -- looks like you are on another cruise my family is sailing on -- the 8/23/14 Fantasy!

Love that bakery! Can't wait to go back to St. Martin!

 

[podsnel]

I remember reading RAVES about that bakery when we were in St Martin on another cruise- but we never made it last time- I'm looking forward to having a better STM experience this visit!

On a RCCL cruise we took an "Under Two Flags" excursion tour that included a stop at an outdoor marketplace right across the street from Sarafina's. My husband - who wasn't invited on that "girls only" cruise - is still complaining so we are planning to take Disney's version of that excursion.

The meet and greet time sounds great and the scavenger hunt too! DD (11) is an only child so we are looking for opportunities for her to meet friends early on in the cruise so we can enjoy some of the adult only activities. We are looking forward to a family vacation but we do love the adult pool and Serenity Bay! And of course, Dh and I always love making new friends too!!

TinkerbellTwins: I noticed you have twin girls who will also be 10 when we sail. Hope we can introduce them to my 10 year old!

Absolutely - they would love making a new friend! My twins turn 10 a month before the cruise!

Hey everyone, would you mind looking at this document that also appears on page one, post six to see if I have the correct information for you? If you aren't listed below and want to be, let me know that too! I'll delete this post in a few days to avoid confusion... Thanks!

Here is an updated Roll Call until Ken (disdel) gets back on and takes this over again! Once Ken gets back on, he can copy it over to his post one, and we will be good to go! FYI: The ages of the children are at sail time. If people mentioned where they are from (or if it is over in the left column under the disname) I have added it here. Same goes for stateroom. These are all the additions that I found from 5/23/12 until now. I moved really fast through the earlier posts, so if I have gotten something wrong, please forgive me and tell me what needs to be corrected!

Tinkerbell0611 (Nancy) has agreed to organize the Fish Extender exchange since Karabajoo has had to cancel. If you mentioned it in posts, there is a "Yes to FE" at the end of your entry. Send Nancy a PM if you want to join the FE and she will share a google document spreadsheet link with you.

KBT35 (Kim) for setting up a Facebook page for our meet group. The link to the Facebook page is: http://www.facebook.com/groups/233227156789919/#

Tinkerbelltwins (Beth) and Podsnel (Ellen) are organizing a Meet and Greet for Day 2 sometime mid-afternoon (we'll finalize the time closer to cruise time) by the Vista Cafe. Plan is to do a group photo on the staircase then too. At the Meet and Greet we will be handing out a trivia/scavenger hunt for anyone interested to work on throughout the cruise.

And a shout out to Millipie for making me the Disney Fantasy Midnight Mouseketeers design that is at the top of this message!

Hi Beth,

My information looks good except we are going to skip the FE this time. I was going to do it but I think with the holiday's it will be easier to just not do it.

Kristi

Tinkerbeltwins, please take us off the FE list. Too close to Christmas to add that on. Thanks, Jen24

[Relaxin']

Please take us off the roll call. We decided to do the TransAtlantic in Sept. 2014 instead. We have done 2 NYE cruises, and they are fantastic. It is time to do something different.

 

[dkmjgal]

I have requested that my daughter Megan be added to the Facebook group. She will then get a private facebook group going for the "young adults".

Thanks!

Kelly

 

[disfamilyfun]

My mom, my daughter who will be 17, and I will be on this cruise. We have done NYE before on DCL and love it. I will look for the FB group this week.

Hi Everybody! We are thrilled to be joining you all for NYE on the Fantasy! We did the NYE cruise on the Magic out of Galveston this year and had a blast so decided to step up and try the Fantasy for 2014! We are: Dawn (me), DH Glen, DD Karie (will be 20) and DS Ryan (will be 16) and we're in 9552.

We were on the NYE out of Galveston this past year too.
Our first NYE cruise was on the Magic when the Dream came in. We actually got two nights of Fireworks - NYE and watched the Dream. Awesome cruise
