Just wanted to jot down some things from this cruise! Some background info: This was my 5th cruise, my party was 4 adults, and this was all of our first time on the Fantasy (never been on the Dream either).
They were still on sickness prevention rules from the precious two Fantasy cruises, like handing you drinks on the pool deck. This didn't really affect me... Except the no pin trading . They didn't have any books out, or the officer pin trading night. I was so sad, but whaddya gonna do .
THE AQUADUCK!!!
I became obsessed with it. It is so much fun. The best time I found was right at 1pm when it opened on our Castaway Cay day. There was no line at all, so we would just walk up ride then repeat.
We had requested one of our favorite servers (Daniel from Romania) from last May (who was on the Magic at the time) and a private table (we had second seating). We got him + a private table!
He remembered us immediately! We had a hoot all week long.
I always do tons of character meets, and I had a good time with them on this ship. They had a lot more variety compared to the Magic. Day 1 of the cruise the photographer took room numbers like I was used to, but day 2 they started taking kttw cards to scan. It was a little tedious having to give them the card every time but it wasn't anything crazy.
Another thing to note is the Princess Gathering only has 4 princesses on the Fantasy. On the Magic there is 5 (with Rapunzel).
ALSO I didn't see Minnie in her captain outfit at all! I have no idea if she wore it at all during this week but I sure didn't see it.
Weather was great at all our ports, and sea weather was great except for one night when the ship was totally bouncing around. Nothing major.
We only went to see two shows: Believe, and Buckets n Boards.
Believe we really liked. Buckets n Boards we had no idea what to expect but were pleasantly surprised. They were a lot of fun.
Was kinda bummed Aladdin wasn't being performed as we had never seen it before, but we were so busy with other things it really didn't affect us as much as I thought it would.
The navigators not being delivered also didn't affect us as I thought it would. I ended up just using the app most of the time, and it was really easy.
The Midship Detective Agency game was so fun. I wish there were more cases as we did all three in one day
I think that's everything
I like the coziness of the Magic class ships. But the Aquaduck is hard to beat...
Here are some random pictures under the cut
If anyone has questions I'll try my best to answer!
