April 9,2016-Fantasy 7 day Eastern (Tortola)

[Funky Chicken]

I can't believe I get to start a cruise meet thread!
Just booked this sailing today. It replaces our 1/10/15 Fantasy trip which we were forced to cancel at the last minute.
Really looking forward to this itinerary-we have actually sailed to Tortola once before on the NCL Windward in 1998. DD will be 10 when we sail. Booked a 5C starboard.
Who wants to come along?

I just booked this cruise too! I'm super excited this will be our first cruise ever. We've booked a 4A starboard room!

Sorry, I should've said my DD and DS will be nearly 15 at the time of sailing and my DH and I will celebrate our 20th anniversary on the cruise.

You will LOVE cruising!
Make sure you get a chance to have an anniversary meal at Palo.
I will be celebrating a birthday on Tortola day with a Painkiller at Pussers followed by dinner at Palo.

Just reserved two adjoining 8C rooms for this cruise to hold my family of 6! Can't wait! This will be our first Disney Cruise and first cruise as a full family. My wife and I sailed on the Carnival Dream last year by ourselves.

I'm thinking of booking this cruise when I'm on the EBTA this May. It would be my 5th cruise and my son's 3rd and our first time on the Fantasy.

Sarap, it doesn't look like we have an FE group yet. I certainly look forward to doing this again; we learned so much on our first DCL cruise on the Dream in '11. 13 months and we'll be sailing again!

Please join us! Are you cruising EBTA with your son? I would love your input on longer vacations with a little one.

I asked for the time off from work next year for this cruise so I'll be booking it while I'm onboard in May. And yes my son will be on the EBTA with me. He will be 4 for the EBTA and this cruise will be his 5th Birthday present from me.

We did an Alaska last September and he did pretty good. I'll keep you posted on how he does with the trip in May. We'll be gone from home for 3 weeks I may be crazy lol We're doing 3 park days at WDW followed by the cruise.

Awesome! We have cruised with and without the little ones. Both are so fun! What are your kids' ages?

What an adventure it will be! We learned so much from the DIS our first time around.

If no one has organized a FE group yet, I will be glad too. I love making FE presents. We just got off the Dream and pixie dusting and our FE made a great trip even better!!

We cruised for the first time with our then 5 year old DD on the 15 night Wonder Hawaii cruise back in 2012. She had a blast. She is a natural social butterfly, so she spent almost the entire day at the Oceaneer's lab/club and at the pool. We saw her for breakfast, sometimes for lunch, dinner, shows, and when it was time for bed. So for us it was great, we had a lot of time to ourselves during that trip. When we sailed with RC on the Oasis, it was almost the same, she spent most of her day at the kids club, she didn't enjoy it as much as the Disney program, so she did spend a lot of time doing activities on the ship with us. the key is to make sure they are having fun and are staying busy, both cruis lines did a good of accomplishing that, Disney just does it better.
