Glad you were able to get a deal . Welcome aboard!
So excited that military rates were offered for this cruise! We are booking today! DS wanted to do one more cruise before he turns 18 in August so he can enjoy the Vibe.
That sounds great! We're hoping our son (17) will run into a lot of kids his age with similar interests as well.
Our DS will also be in the Vibe. He is finishing up his junior year and this will be his last visit to the Vibe. Wow! Our first cruise we thought he would never be old enough! He still keeps in touch with friends he met on the last cruise.
Hi everyone!!! DH & I just booked this cruise!! Just found out about the Florida resident discount and couldn't pass it up!! It looks as if they have about 5 more cabins to fill,s o they're going the discount route to fill them up. Works for us! This will be our 5th Disney cruise -2 on the Magic in '99 and 2000 and 3, 4 & 5 on the Fantasy (including her Maiden Voyage!). We'll also be going on our first transatlantic cruise in Sept., on the WBTA leaving, I think, on 9/6. That will be our first Gold Level cruise. Only took us 15 years to get there!!! We were on the Fantasy when we heard it had officially added Jamaica and hoped, at some point, we'd be able to go there. Well, here we are going and no one is more surprised than us!! Totally not planned. We got the last available midship cabin,which is where we prefer to be. It's on Deck 10. We've never been higher than Deck 7,so we're excited about a new higher vantage point! Still can't wrap our heads around this. Discussed it yesterday. Decided this morning. Not really like us -we're planners when it comes to trips.Still hasn't settled in yet. But hi to everyone anyway!!!!!!
Thank-you for the welcome!
When we were on the Fantasy in March,last year,we were discussing Jamaica with the bartenders that work just off the atrium,because that's where they're from. I've forgotten their names,but they both are very sweet. I have a video of one dancing while balancing a bottle,then two bottles on his head at a bar on Castaway Cay. It was cold and windy and we were the only ones at the bar for the looooongest time! So he put on a show for us. We spent most of the trip listening to their stories about their country,which made us more determined to get there one day. Can't believe that day is next month!!!
But I've lost track of time. Is this the Inaugural cruise for Jamaica or has the Fantasy already gone there????? Just curious.
While on that cruise, last year,we signed up for our first transatlantic cruise,which will be this September. So we know how it feels to wait sooooo long for a cruise!! It's almost anti climatic when it finally does happen, feeling unbelieveable that the start date could finally arrive.
Kinda late to the party but my sister and I just booked this cruise last night! Looking forward to going through the thread and finding out as much info as possible. We still have to book excursions, etc so any recommendations from those who may have done this cruise in the past are welcome. Thanks!
We are definitely looking forward to Jamaica!
I think we're in 6098 (we changed from 4e to 4d recently). Jim, Ann and Jamie (14).
See you soon!
