Over our last 3 cruises on the Fantasy I have been lucky enough to get special moments
1. Two or 3 cruises ago while walking by the shops Pluto came up behind me and started playing, wanting to be pet and rubbing noses, tapping his paw because I found his tickle spot etc. He spent a good 5 minutes with me all while a little boy stood patiently waiting for him to play as well. Pluto then hit the floor for the little boy to rub his belly. It was AWESOME.
2. On my Very Merry last year Belle was dressed in he best Xmas dress wandering around deck 5 and spent several minutes with me taking pictures and talking.
3. On our last cruise (May 2019) we were with another couple and were waiting for an elevator on deck 3 when Cinderella came up the stairs. She just stood there watching us (we were oblivious at first). The guys pointed out that someone was waiting for us... My friend and I went to chat with her and get our pictures.
I won't wait on line for characters, but I laugh at myself when I run into them like the above instances... I'm like a star struck kid, and half the time I get tongue tied and don't know what to say. Gotta love the Pixie Dust
