Today we returned from an 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy’s 376th voyage.
Our ports of call were:
- (1) Tortola
- (2) St Thomas
- (3) Disney’s Castaway Cay
This was our first cruise since becoming residents of Florida.
While we were on the ship, our little fur-princess stayed at the Best Friends Pet Hotel at Walt Disney World. The day we picked her up, she spent some time at the salon – heh.
We stayed in stateroom # 7064 (Cat 5C – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah) located on Deck 7 Mid on the Port Side.
Our stateroom host was Benjamin Fernandes, and our dining team was Deneval Miller (head server), Elvin Ochoa Cruz (server), and Cindy Lopez Jimenez (asst server). Our Captain was Thord Haugen and our Cruise Director was Peter Hofer.
Our table mates (at table 54), Jerry and Melody, were from Arkansas, and had one girl (Anna) and two boys (John Mark and Luke).
This was the first cruise Lizzy was able to join the Vibe group. After one of the character dances, a group from the Edge and Vibe did a flash mob dance in the atrium.
Monday, June 17th, was our 30th Anniversary. We enjoyed a Brunch in Palo, with Boris as our server.
While visiting St Thomas, Joe and Lizzy went on a snorkeling excursion to Turtle Cove.
While on Castaway Cay, Lizzy was able to do The Wild Side Teen Adventure excursion.
During the DVC presentation of embarkation day, Joe was chosen to be part of the trivia portion, only to show he didn’t know the chronology of some Disney events. Then, later that evening during the welcome show in the theater, Joe joined Jeff Civillico on stage to show off his wonderful juggling ability – not. Of course, in retaliation, Joe was able to get Andrea to be picked during Jeff’s adult show that night. Needless to say, the rest of the cruise, the both of us were recognized by other cruisers.
The end of our 15th cruise (Magic: 2, Wonder: 5, Dream: 3, Fantasy: 5) marked our 100th night that we have spent on the beautiful Disney Ships.
