NorthAlabama Posted October 26, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2006 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???

BrendaB1 Posted October 26, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 26, 2006 You can watch sailaway here. www.portno.com 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyGirl Posted October 26, 2006 #10 Share Posted October 26, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike1964 Posted October 26, 2006 #11 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hope she's not having mechanical problems. Still has the gangway hooked up @ 5:00p.m.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyGirl Posted October 26, 2006 #12 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I cant tell if the gangway is still there or not. Its not a very good picture really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike1964 Posted October 26, 2006 #13 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Still there Harley girl. When do you sail on her? Looks like the gangway is still attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzman Posted October 26, 2006 #14 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Lotsa bad weather in the area, perhaps flight delays are delaying her departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyGirl Posted October 26, 2006 #15 Share Posted October 26, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike1964 Posted October 26, 2006 #16 Share Posted October 26, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticks1 Posted October 26, 2006 #17 Share Posted October 26, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyGirl Posted October 27, 2006 #22 Share Posted October 27, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp traveler Posted October 27, 2006 #23 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Can't wait to read the first reviews of this one coming back from the Oct 26th sail!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyKa Posted October 27, 2006 #24 Share Posted October 27, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
