What to expect...7 day cruise

[TLSnell1981]

We only cruised on 4 and 5 nighters, but we're hooked. I've heard of character breakfasts, sleep overs and formal nights. What can we expect on a 7 nighter?

Any and all information is appreciated!

I sailed on the fantasy and there are no Character breakfasts, but there are plenty of Character meet and greets each day As for sleepovers, there is Pluto's Pajama Party which is an hour. There were two of these on our 7 day western. I don't know of any official "sleepover" other than the Pluto's. Your first sea day is formal night, the second sea day is semi formal. You will have a pirate night as well, but that night varies on Itinerary. 7 days are wonderful, once you do one it is hard to do anything less....at least in my opinion

We absolutely love the 7 night itinerary. It gives us plenty of time to enjoy the cruise and we love the sea days. A few things that are different than the 4 and 5 night cruise..

1) You will have both a formal and a semi formal night. The formal night will be on the first sea day and the semi formal night will be on the last sea day. Gives us more chances to dress up.

2) There are three broadway style shows on the cruise: Believe, Wishes and Aladin. You will also most likely have a variety act one night also.

3) Sea days: We love sea days.. get two on Western, three on Eastern. They do much more onboard activities those days. There are many character opportunities on these days and they have Phineas and Ferb on the Fantasy also.

4) Muppet Detective Game: Unique to the Fantasy and the 7 day itineraries. Although on 3 of the 17 were culprits in the game when we cruised, hoping they have added more for our next cruise.

5) Adult area: We really love the adult area on the Fantasy.. A big improvement from the Dream

6) Shutters: They have changed the configuration to improve traffic flow. This includes putting the digital photo stations in what used to be about 1/3 of the Vista Gallery.. Don't miss the photo game on the wall outside the digital gallery and Studio C.

7) Drink Stations: The moved them more to midship for easier access to the ship.

8) Aqualab: While not a huge attraction on our cruise it was a nice add to the ship

9) Satellite Falls: Nice quiet pool/wading area for adults..

Think you will really love the ship and the 7 day cruise.

Hi! What is Pluto's PJ Party?? Also, when we were on the Dream, they did some sort of morning Mickey wake up on the pool deck. Do they do that on the Fantasy 7 night? My son will be more active this trip so I would like to try to get him more involved with the kiddo activities.

I have horrible motion sickness and also a bit claustrophobic, so I wasn't sure about sea days. I used a ReliefBand and Dramamine, before, during and after the cruise. Only a little queasiness the first night (bad weather). We the new ships and missed so much on a 5 night. So, I'm excited about our 7 day eastern on the Fantasy!

Thanks for all the information.

On the Fantasy they have Wake Up with Disney Jr in the D lounge on several mornings which might be similar to the Mickey wake up. Pluto's PJ party is in the kids club. The kids can wear their pjs if they would like (my son did not). They play some games and get to color a pluto pillowcase to take home. I went to check in on him just as they were giving out the pillowcases to color and he wanted to go so they gave us the pillow case to take home and color. The whole thing last a little over an hour and they had it twice on our 7 day western.
