The service is called "Cellular at Sea" and the ship's cell tower is not turned on until an hour or two after leaving the dock (this includes all port stops along the way, not just Port Canaveral).

Around this time, definitely before lunch in my case (east coast time).

One note on Dinner service here (Fantasy, Apr. 14 cruise): it seemed to be staffed by either "B" team servers or those in training for the main dining room. Most did not speak english very well and as a result we had trouble ordering (and receiving the items we wanted). Also, they tended to...

Costa Maya.

"It is $12 for the session, not $12 per person right?" That's correct. $12 for a 30 min. session, regardless of the number of participants.

You will not receive an e-mail. It will be posted on your reservation. VGT (and I- and OGT) assignments are typically posted two Mondays before you sail (< two weeks). In your case, I would plan on receiving it no later than Monday June 25th. Good luck!

I posted this a week or so ago: Sports Simulators I haven't read much here about the Sports Simulators so I thought I'd share my experience with you. My son and I booked a half hour a few days after boarding (cost was $12). We showed up and the attendant gave us a quick 2 min primer on how to...

Virtually impossible except for small text-only emails. Forget about attachments and web surfing is extremely slow.

Yes, on the Fantasy, April 14 Western B cruise. Both formal and semi formal nights in Animators (RAERAAE) and our server team lamented the fact that they wouldn't get to wear their tuxedo uniforms on our cruise. Not sure what the servers wore in Enchanted those nights.....

If you're like us and at Animators on formal night, the staff will not be in tuxes. We were very disappointed to have this rotation as I'd rented a tux myself for the occasion. Felt kind of silly being all dressed up in that cartoon-y dining room.

On the Fantasy, there is a clearly noticeable vibration (with minimal associated noise) in the aft of the ship on ALL decks. Near the bow, large waves hitting the hull while underway reverberate through the structure but are random and their presence depends on sea state (and this only affects...

On the Fantasy it was at the entrance to Palo/Remy.

Fantasy. 7 night cruises plus less crowded than Dream, which often sails at near full capacity.

No idea, but one suggestion would be to book IGT and if you don't get a room/category that you like, you can upgrade at the port at substantial savings to a VGT booking. I can't imagine that this is a cruise that will sell out so your chances of an upgrade are probably much higher than usual.

Perhaps only shorter lines for checking out the gear? We bring our own but I noticed that there were many more windows for those with reservations vs. those without.

Correct, for a rotation with three Animator's the crush show is on the first trip and the animators magic show is on the last. For the Fantasy Western B, we had RAERAAE. We booked Palo for the middle Animator's, so we got to experience all MDRs twice without missing any of the shows (just the...

Get up early, or go with the late dinner seating and hang out by the pool in the late afternoon. The deck really clears out between 3 and 4 pm as folks with the early dinner time slot head back to their rooms to get ready. Also, this is a great time to enjoy reduced wait times for the AquaDuck...

Personally, I'd go the hotel route. We've done Disney cruises and have taken the family to Europe on separate-land based vacations. In the case of Italy, the main reason we go there is to see the sights (which you can do from the cruise), but also to have great meals and experience the...

On the Fantasy, it was $12.95 for the 6x8 and $19.95 for the 8x10. We did a bunch of family portraits and went with the 10 photo CD @$149. You get all the photos on the disk, but are only allowed to unlock 10 (and print/distribute unlimited copies). It was a good deal and they did a nice job for...

I can confirm from first hand experience that an IGT fare CAN INDEED be upgraded at the port. I presume that this is also true for OGT and possibly VGT. I had my choice of two rooms on my Apr. 14 Fantasy sailing: -an ocean view on deck 5 (not sure what category) for ~$450 -a verandah on...
