During our recent 7 Night Eastern Caribbean Star Wars Day At Sea cruise on the Disney Fantasy, we decided to try Disney Cruise Line’s Onboard Airline Check-in. This is a program that Disney Cruise Line has that allows you to receive your boarding pass and check your luggage for your return flight home while onboard the ship.
Disney cruises are one of our favorite ways to vacation. One of the few issues we have experienced while on the ship (and travel in general) is how to keep all of our electronic devices charged up. As a family of four, we have a multitude of cell phones, iPads, and Kindles that need a recharge. We used to travel with a bag full of wall chargers and cables that went everywhere. This was a real problem once we boarded the cruise ship, since there are a limited number of wall plugs available.

I had the great privilege and honor to be invited back on my favorite podcast, Rope Drop Radio, to discuss various ways to take Disney vacations for less money.
This would be the saddest day, debarkation day. I’ve already described the debarkation procedure in a previous post. It was time to head home. We got up early and went down to get breakfast. Since we had second seating, we had the late breakfast at 7:30 am. We had already sent our bags on ahead with the Disney On Board Airline Check In, which means we wouldn’t see our bags again until we got back to Dulles Airport.

Today was the last full day of our cruise and it included a stop at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island. We’ve stopped at Castaway Cay several times over the years on our cruises, with the exception of our Alaska Cruise. When we checked in for the cruise 105 days ago, we looked for a private Cabana on the family beach. Unfortunately, they were all booked. We instead decided to try some new excursions on the island.
Today was the last sea day for our cruise, in addition to being Star Wars Day At Sea! The Fantasy hadn’t been overtaken too much during the cruise with Star Wars other than all the movies being shown throughout the cruise. All of that changed in the morning. As soon as we stepped outside the room into the hallway, you could hear the Star Wars themed music playing (which went on all day).
Today was day four of our cruise and the ship pulled into Tortola just as we woke up. We had an early excursion for this port, so we had ordered room service for breakfast. Normally we forget to use room service, but we had discussed it a bit the night before our arrival in Tortola. We took our breakfast out onto the veranda to enjoy it and look at the harbor.
