Today we returned from a 7-night Western Caribbean cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy.

Our ports of call were (1) Cozumel, (2) Grand Cayman (tender), (3) Falmouth, Jamaica, and (4) Castaway Cay.

The night before our cruise, we stayed at the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport in room #7133, with a runway view. Since we were back at Port Canaveral, we were able to utilize the Disney buses between the airport and the port.

We stayed in stateroom # 10034 (Cat 5A – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom With Verandah) located on Deck 10 Fwd on Port Side.

Our stateroom host was Syaeful “Say” Syaeful, and our dining team was Munir Alves Abou Arabi (head server), Herry Wahyudi (server), and Jacinto Vega Ramos (asst server). Our Captain was Thord Haugen and our Cruise Director was Darren.

On Sunday, we visited Palo for brunch with Pamela as our server.

While visiting Falmouth, Jamaica, we went on the “Chukka Jungle River Tubing Safari” excursion.

During Tuesday’s evening show “The Magic Dave Show”, Lizzy and Joe were chosen to go up during the last part of his show. The challenge was to answer questions – the prize was to be a Disney Princess.

We also got reservations for the following events: Princess Gathering, and the Anna & Elsa Meet & Greet. We also got reservations for a Character Breakfast, however we missed it due to oversleeping.

The end of our 13th cruise (Magic: 2, Wonder: 5, Dream: 3, Fantasy: 3) marked our 82nd night that we have spent on board the beautiful Disney Ships.

Tonight, we returned from a 7-night Alaskan Cruise on board the Disney Wonder. Our ports of call for this cruise were Tracy Arm, Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan.

Our travel agent was Dorothy Bond with Dreams Unlimited Travel.

We used WestJet as our airline for this vacation.

We flew from Las Vegas to Vancouver Internal Airport (YVR). We flew back from Vancouver with a transfer at Calgary International Airport (YYC). We had just enough time to get through the customs line at Calgary to be the last to board the plane, and we left the gate about 15 minutes early.

The night before our cruise, we stayed at the Pan Pacific Vancouver hotel which is actually attached to Canada Place’s Cruise Ship Terminal. We simply took taxis between the airport and the hotel. Lizzy’s Grammy accompanied us on the cruise, and the four of us had a great time.

Lizzy’s Papa got her the “Frozen Stateroom Experience”, which included a larger door magnet, a photo-frame, a pretty decorative pillow, and nice big blanket, and hanging “snowflakes”.

We stayed in stateroom #2126 (Cat 09C), which is located at the aft end of the port side of the ship, directly below the entrance to Parrot Cay.

Our Captain was Fabian Dib and our Cruise Director was Peter Hofer. Our cruise staff were: Stateroom Host – Putu Wiarsana, Head Server – Roy Goes, Server – Andre Wliiams (from Jamaica), Assistant Server – Marcel Fourie (from South Africa).

We dined in Palo for brunch and dinner, and our Server was Justin Folloso (from Australia), who is married to Rosario from Youth Activities. While having dinner, Chef Matteo made us his award winning White Tomato Soup.

In Juneau, we did the Mendenhall Glacier Explorer excursion, where we visited the Visitor Center, and were able to take pictures of the glacier. We also did the Historic Gold Mining and Panning Adventure, where we got to learn how to pan for gold.

At Ketchikan, we watched the “Exclusive Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show”.

We also got reservations for the following events: Princess Gathering, Olaf Meet & Greet, Anna & Elsa Meet & Greet

The end of our 12th cruise (Magic: 2, Wonder: 5, Dream: 3, Fantasy: 2) marked our 75th night that we have spent on board the Disney Ships.
