So this is my 17th (I think ) Disney cruise but my first pre-trip report. I love pre-trip reports and I have noticed a lag in people posting these so I thought I would try. All of my planning is done because we sail in like 64 days but I will try to capture the details here for those who want to read it.
Cruise: 7 Night Western September 2, 2017. The first Halloween cruise of the season for the Fantasy. Seems to early to me but hey whatever.
Cruise Itinerary:
Day 1: Port Canaveral
Day 2: At Sea
Day 3: Cozumel
Day 4: Grand Cayman
Day 5: Jamaica
Day 6: At Sea
Day 7: Castaway Cay
Attendees:
Dbf - 41 years old. This is his second cruise. His first cruise was a 2 Night weekend getaway out of San Diego on the Wonder this past May. I told him that cruise was to see if I would keep him around because I have been there and done that with the reluctant companions . Clearly he passed the test or this pretrip report would not be happening. He loved it!! This was literally him getting on the ship and where ever went he would sign Do you want to build a snowman or he would hold out his arms like Maui and say You're welcome!. He has never been a Disney guy because of exposure I think. No parks and limited movies. He loves Goofy, Minnie Mouse and Fish Extenders.
Me - 43 years old - yes I will claim it for now. Ok maybe not with pom poms , I love Winnie the Pooh and Captain Mickey. I am the planner of these cruises for my family. I know it is sad but I actually might like the planning more than the trip and I love the trip. Excel spreadsheets are my friends.
How did the trip come about? Well I booked a place holder cruise on the May one and we started talking about how it was too short and how many things he didn't get to see. I am easily swayed into looking at pricing and options for upcoming cruises . So while driving back from San Diego (we live in Arizona.) I went on my phone and looked at pricing and availability. September seemed like a good time to go.
