As are we in three days.Joining in! We're doing an Eastern on the Fantasy, but not Star Wars. Super excited to read along!
We decided not go eat dinner in the Main Dining Room this night. We would have been late anyway since the Deck Party started at 5:00. We grabbed something to eat at Tow Mater's Grill before getting a seat in the Walt Disney Theatre for the Ventriloquism & Comedy of Taylor Mason.
I am wondering about this as well. Is main dining 5:30 or 5:45? Maybe I will send my parents ahead to dinner.I was looking at Navigator's and wondering how that would work to do the deck show and make it to main dining. My little kids will definitely want to see this show though. How late do you think one would be? If I know my mom, we're cruising for their 50th anniversary, she'll want us to do dinner in the MDR, but I guess if we're a little late we can warn our servers ahead of time. Plus if we have to skip aps or something we'll survive. Or maybe watch from a spot where we can escape quickly to dinner?
Dinner does not start until 5:45, so if you go to the deck party dressed for dinner, and people do wear their pirate costumes, you can make dinner. We just made the decision not to go and did not rush ourselves. And we have been as much as 20 minutes late to dinner due to excursions getting back to the ship late, and service was great. The Navigator states the "Mickey's Pirates on the Caribbean - Deck Stage, Deck 11, Mid-ship" starts at 5:00 pm - 5:30. The Fireworks show does not start until 7:30 and last until 8:00, late dinner begins at 8:15. So Disney is allowing 15 minutes to get to dinner.I was looking at Navigator's and wondering how that would work to do the deck show and make it to main dining.

That is very helpful thank you. We will get in our outfits ahead of time then. It has been great to follow along with this as we will be on the Fantasy in three days !!!!Dinner does not start until 5:45, so if you go to the deck party dressed for dinner, and people do wear their pirate costumes, you can make dinner.

Our excursion was the St. John Echo Hike. I would not do this one again. We took an excursion a few years ago while in port at St. Martin and it was fabulous, this one not so much.
The hike itself lasted about 25 minutes. There were only a few places where you could see the Ocean clearly along the trail. You had nothing to look at on your hike but the trees and foliage around you. The guide was good and he stopped the group about 4 times to show us a worm, tree, or a fern. Honeymoon Beach was gorgeous but you only had 30 minutes to spend at this beautiful place. The whole afternoon just felt like a waste of time, except for the 30 minutes at Honeymoon Beach. The water was not working at the beach and people were having to wash off their feet with bottled water.Your photos are beautiful! Can you share what you didn't like about the excursion?
