Hello and welcome to my trip report! I've been meaning to start this for awhile, but life got busy. So I'm taking advantage of a good old Minnesota snow storm to get started!
I'm Kari, a long time lurker, very infrequent commenter. By day, I work client services in the veterinary field, by night, I'm planning my next Disney trip!
DH is Bill, by day he works in video production, by night he's editing all of the videos we shot for this trip and posting them to YouTube!
We have 3 "children", all with 4 legs and covered with fur. Holly is our oldest, a 12 year old long-hair Dachshund, then we have Hef, he's a 12 year old Maine Coon mix (I was a huge fan of Girls Next Door back in the day, hence the names, yes, I have a cat named after Hugh Hefner). Our baby is Archie, he's a 10 year old Dachshund/Beagle mix who loves to give hugs!
Archie and Holly in their favorite spot on top of our couch
Hef, looking very angelic
Our last cruise was in April of 2018 on the Magic, it was that cruise that completed our Grand Slam, it was also our first cruise as Gold. We booked a placeholder, but we weren't sure what to do with it. We traveled to Disney World in February for our 10 year anniversary and then Disney Depression set in. Within a week of returning, we were on DCL's website and found our cruise. It was appealing for several reasons, we haven't been on the Fantasy since 2016, with the exception of Castaway, all of the ports were brand new to us, and most importantly, it was 8 nights, our longest cruise yet!
Our Itinerary
Day 1: Embarkation Day
Day 2: Day at Sea
Day 3: Day at Sea
Day 4: St. Kitts
Day 5: Antigua
Day 6: San Juan
Day 7: Day at Sea
Day 8: Castaway Cay
Day 9: Debarkation Day
We flew in the day before, went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and because for some reason, it was almost $1000 more to fly home Sunday over Monday, we got another day in Disney on the back end and got to explore Galaxy's Edge!
I hope you'll join me as I relive the best cruise ever!!
