Podcast 4.0 Fantasy 7-Night Western Caribbean Cruise 12/8/2012

[RedM94]

I haven't gotten my docs yet. Patiently waiting....

Non-DU Meets -
Meet-n-mingle [for benefit of folks not booked thru DU]- 1st Sea Day. Time/Place - TBA
Cabin Crawl - 1st sea day. Time/Meeting place - TBA.
Mixology - group #1 - I can squeeze a few more folks in..

I did not book through DU. I didn't find out about cruise 4.0 until after I booked. I was just curious because I didn't know if the travel docs came from DCL or from the TA.

Hmmm, what is the mixology? Sounds interesting!

 

[mdvlprof]

mixology - how to mix drinks. Involves sampling.
Bartender picks 5 or 6 drinks to teach us. Then, depending on who's teaching, each pair/trio/etc, get to make drink, and everybody gets to try one. Takes about an hour. Small fee.

Anyone been to these ports before? Wondering if we need to do an excursion to get to the beaches? Any advice?

We've been to Cozumel and Grand Cayman. Because we've been to Sting Ray City, we're not doing that this time, but I highly recommend it and you don't need to book it on the ship, there are cabs on the dock. I seem to recall DH going back to the ship to watch a football game, I went out for lunch with other cruisers.

At Cozumel, we're doing what we did last time, going to Chankanaab National Park. It's a short cab ride from the port. You can see the ship (that's reassuring) from the beach and there are lots of activities to choose from. This is our schedule of what we're doing in the ports:

Grand Cayman Island Tour (DCL tour), then hopefully 7 Mile Beach

Tropicante (with other DISers) on Costa Maya (it's got great Trip Advisor reviews: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserR...Peninsula.html

Chankanaab National Park on Cozumel http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g1...onal.Park.html

no plans for Castaway Cay

Thanks for the advice!

What if we aren't through DU or on the podcast? Anyone else planning one of these?

I heard there is a champagne bar on the Fantasy and I love champagne - do they do some sort of tasting for that, where you can try a little bit of all the different kinds of champagne?

Mixology is open to anyone on the roll call, not just DU.

Group #2 is full, but we can squeeze in a few more for Group #1.
Send a PM with names, cabin #, and reservation #.
