Fantasy!

[NorthAlabama]

The FANTASY is in port in New Orleans!

I am looking forward to being on her first sailing out of New Orleans

since the storms of last year. Checked into the hotel this afternoon and

this evening took a drive down to the port and there she was!

 

I wonder if the fact that she was in port this evening means it will be

ready early and we can embark sooner???? Or, is that just wishful

thinking on my part???

[kelz66]

That's great!!!!

 

They even reported on it on our local news up here in Philly.

 

I can't wait to sail on her in january!!!

 

:D

My husband and I are leaving in an hour for the 4 hour drive to NO for that ship :D . I was looking at the ship webcam and its still dark :mad: . Anxious to see it hehe. Hope you enjoyed your night in NO. Its a great place to visit. My husband and I stayed there last time but he couldnt take extra time off work this time :mad:

I went on the Fantasy earlier this month, out of Port Canaveral. You will have a great time! She is a beautiful boat!

Our group salied on Sensation's first cruise out of Nola in 2004. We received a water salute from the pilot boats. Todays send off should be even better. :D

Boards are crazy today. Took forever for my previous post to show up. :rolleyes:

We leave on the Fantasy on Nov. 13. Be sure to post a review to let us know how it was when you get back!!!

[bonniemari]

We leave on Nov 9th and can't wait for someone to post a review of the first sailing.

[HarleyGirl]

What time is she leaving? 4:00 Its 4:55 and she's still there. We are going on Nov. 13 at 4:00. Maybe she hasn't been "cleared for takeoff" just yet!

[bike1964]

Hope she's not having mechanical problems. Still has the gangway hooked up @ 5:00p.m.?

[HarleyGirl]

I cant tell if the gangway is still there or not. Its not a very good picture really.

[bike1964]

Still there Harley girl. When do you sail on her? Looks like the gangway is still attached.

[Cruzman]

Lotsa bad weather in the area, perhaps flight delays are delaying her departure.

[HarleyGirl]

Only 18 more days and this will be our first cruise so we're super-excited!!!! Cant even sleep. Heck, I will be so exhausted by the time we actually get ON the ship, I'm afraid I might sleep through the whole thing!!:o

[bike1964]

Sometimes those first sailings after a refurbishment/relocation can be a little awkward. Looks like the ropes and gangway are still attached. We hope to sail on 11/27. Looking forward to it.

[Mysticks1]

I'm glad I am not the only one staring at my computer screen waiting for the Fantasy to move.:o :p 5:39 and still has the gangway attached.

[bonniemari]

6:44 and still there.

[bonniemari]

Looks like the Fantasy is finally leaving.

[Mysticks1]

Fantasy finally pulled out at 7:00 - 3 hours past scheduled time.

I was away from my computer for 45 minutes and missed it!!!! I will be on her in 17 days!!!! If anyone can tell me anything that I definitely cannot miss on her, please do --besides the obvious stuff that people always say, that is! I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve--only thing is, i have 17 more "Eves" to go!

[bp traveler]

Can't wait to read the first reviews of this one coming back from the Oct 26th sail!!!

[JudyKa]

I'm excited too! I know it has to be exciting to cruise out on the inaugral(sp?) Fantasy cruise from N.O. Wonder if the "wonderful" Mayor Nagin showed up any for this take off? Sigh.... However, regardless, I know there are alot of excited people on that ship......and a deeply appreciative N.O. town for their visit and tourist donations before embarkation. I just love N.O. and cruising out of there.

I would tell you to hurry back and give a review but I won't see it in time - we board the day you get off. Someone posted on our roll call that they would scan in the capers from this first cruise for us so I am anxiously waiting for them. I know that JetSkier will be on one of the next couple and promised a full review for us.
