A long time ago on a Fantasy far far away...Feb 2016 SWDAS TR, 5/17 CRUISE EPILOGUE - The End!

[KarriTigger]

Another great trip report....and I am reading your WDW foodie report too! Thanks for writing it, and spending so much time doing it!

I really enjoyed reading along. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for reading! I really appreciate it!

I'm so sad it's over! Thanks again for taking the time to share everything with us, Su-Lynn. You helped me immensely - I knew much more about what to expect going into our cruise in April. You're the BEST Tip Writer / Trip Writer. Ha ha! You also helped me pass the time, as the last couple of months were torture, counting down to vacation time. I'm looking forward to following the rest of the story over on the WDW trip reports board. Sea ya' Soon - over there!

Wow that is some lofty shoes to fill of "Best Trip Writer!" I hope I haven't let anyone down! But thank you thank you! It's a pleasure to write about these trips because they are just so much fun and I love reading others experiences as well! You have to tell me more about your cruise - how was concierge? How was Remy? Did you do everything you wanted to?

Sorry I've been a little absent for the last half of your cruise TR but I was able to get all caught up just in time to jump into the DW portion!! Looks like you had a fantastic cruise! I'd really like to sail on the Fantasy someday, they are such beautiful ships! On to DisneyWorld!!!

They indeed are stunning ships! Thank you for reading and see you on the other TR!

That was a great adventure. I usually have a bit of a let down when someone finishes there TR. But just like your TR stated i don't have to because you already have your WDW TR going. Life is good. But seriously... another great job. I cant wait to read your wrap up of the cruise.

Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun to write! I'll see you on the WDW TR!

Through the Eyes of Chunkysis! (technically her camera)

So the other day CS gave me a flash drive, and I'm like, what's this? Cruise pictures, she said. I totally forgot that she has an entire set of pics from her camera and iPhone! A couple of them will be similar to what I've shown already but she got some nice shots so I wanted to share. So please enjoy the entire cruise...again, from the eyes of Chunkysis!

Day 1: Boarding the Fantasy!

Day 2: A Day at Sea

​

Day 3: Cozumel and the Pirate Party

Continued in next post...

Your reports have me looking forward to my Nov trip even more!

 

[bcwife76]

Yay for all the extra photos!!!

Thank you for the Jawa warning He wasn't quite as terrifying since he was kind of looking down from the camera....it's the EYES....the EYES......that freak me out. Yes, I'm 40. And scared of Jawa. What? You hate the teacups. We're even

I LOVE the collages she made on Instragram, they're fantastic!

My family is taking its 1st Disney cruise next April. We have the SWDAS eastern itinerary. I really enjoyed your review and pictures. Now we are SUPER excited!!!

 

[Hardheadedwoman]

PS Obsessed with your dress (I may have bookmarked it!). Only by page 9!

 

[Flossbolna]

I really loved your trip report! It made me really excited for my next cruise on the Fantasy, which is a Western as well, but without the SWDAS!

 

[AussieMumma]

What a wonderful cruise you all had! SWDAS looks amazing, but I agree they need to do more then one day, that's just not enough Star Wars!
Heading over to your WDW report now

LOL I think Jawas and Teacups are different beasts, but I can see how the eyes are quite freaky. And now when I look at teacups I want to hurl so I think we are even! Hehehe.

It was SOOO much fun! I am so glad we went and I thought it was worth it. I hope you have a fantastic time! The eastern itinerary seems more appealing to me! I hope to try it out one day!

Thank you!! We had an amazing time and I'm so happy to be able to share it. I hope they extend the SWDAS over the years...I'd really like to go again!

Castaway Cay is SOOOO beautiful. There is not much I love more than a Caribbean beach. The sand. The water.

I love all of your pictures.

Too bad about the wind and cold water. Lunch looked like a great consolation, though!

Your afternoon back at the ship, taking pictures during your "run" around the ship, then spending time at the Rainforest room was a great way to spend some time before the show and dinner.

 

[Hundredacre]

Love reading your trip reports! Thank you

Bittersweet last night...

Once again, all of the food at the dining room sounds and looks really good. The tuna and salad are both light and fresh. I would have trouble choosing between the beef Wellington and the shrimp. Good thing Mark usually agrees to splitting meals. I know you can get both if you want, but SO MUCH FOOD!

Is there a more perfect way to end the night and the cruise than character palooza?!? There are some really fun shots!

I am so glad you mentioned about them showing scenes from the past week on the cruise. We have a couple of videos from cruises we took in 2006 and 2007 that we haven't watched in forever! The 2006 cruise was a family reunion cruise- Auntie Jeanne treated 42 members of our family to a Royal Caribbean Western itinerary.

Happy Birthday from all of us, even though your family couldn't quite make it until midnight.

Day 8: Leaving the Fantasy Behind




DH took this pic of me before we left the cabin.

CUTE!!!

At Enchanted Garden, we had a nice breakfast menu to choose from.

DH got a breakfast burrito, which was kinda bare looking IMO.

Sad little burrito.



Hope you are in for the WDW portion of our trip...trip report below:

The (Foodie)Force is Strong with Us...a Chunky birthday bash!

Hope you see you there!


Thank you for reading my Disney Cruise Trip Report!

I'll be back with a cruise epilogue and "Best Of" lists and some additional pictures that didn't make it into the TR!
​

Never mind the sad little burrito. How about the names of the goodbye breakfast dishes?

"I'll have the -Get the hell off the ship, we're done with you now- over easy!"

GREAT report! You guys really had so much fun and got into all of the fun activities. And so glad the fun ain't quite over yet. I'll finish up here then heading over to the WDW part of your trip.

 

[natebenma]

Oh, wow! Your sisters pictures are great, and I agree her collages are super-cute!

She certainly made the most of her selfie stick(s)!

It was fun going back to see some of the earlier parts of your cruise again.
