Valentine's Day

It just dawned on me that we will be on board the Wonder on Valentine's day 2016 (12-17). Are there any special activities related to the holiday? I'm sure there will be some decorations.

We were there for Valentines Day, but it has been 6 years. At that time there were no special decorations or activities. There was a "Valentine's Day"' menu. And of course, Palo was impossible to get for that night.

Wow no heart decorations or chocolate indulgences. Ok It's not big deal I just thought being a theme cruise this would be another opportunity to go overboard no pun intended. Thanks for your feedback.

We sailed on the Fantasy over Valentine's Day in 2014.

 

To the best of my recollection, there was a small box of chocolates and maybe a flower given to my wife at dinner. The Senior Chocolatier from Godiva was also on board and there were chocolate tasting and Q&A sessions throughout the week.

 

The best part for us was that Ducky Williams (Disney's Senior Illustrator) was also on the sailing and did a presentation during which my daughter won a sketch of Jiminy Cricket (although I think that the timing of his being on board was simply coincidental with VDay). We were lucky enough to run into him a few days later and he was kind enough to personalize it for her.

That illustration is cool. What size is it? I'd definitely frame it.

It's around 2' x 3' (maybe a little smaller) - Ducky was doing his drawings on a flip chart (the kind that stands on an easel).

 

And yes, we did have it professionally framed under museum glass. Since the paper is so cheap and thin, we wanted to ensure that it would survive as long as possible. Here's another picture of it in the frame (before we unwrapped it to hang it).

That's a great souvenir to have scored. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he's on my sailing.
