just got back from back to back cruises

[disneymusical135]

Hello everyone,

I first want to say I am still new to disboards so I am still trying to figure out how to read things so give me so time. Also for anyone who responded to my first "thread", sorry if I did not reply, I was still on board and as you know its kind of expensive to go online on the boat.

NOW TO THE FUN STUFF!
I was just on the Disney Magic for two weeks!!! It was absolutely amazing. These were cruise 5 and 6 and they did not let me down at all! The first week was the Western Caribbean and I had the time of my life. The people I met on the ship were awesome and I love all of the ports! Grand Cayman is amazing, but you can never forget about Castaway Cay. Since I am very much into musical theater I obviously went to the shows in the theater and watched them again. Disney Dreams still touched my heart even though I have seen it so many times. (more on that later)

Then the first cruise came to an end and my family and I were able to stay on the boat during the change over. It was very interesting. We stayed in the same state room and we loved having the ship to ourselves for a few hours.

The next cruise in the East was also amazing. We had our waitress we had on our first cruise, Gabriella from Argentina, and she was great! I also watched Disney dreams twice so now my grand total is 15. I love that show. The matinees make me happy!!

Coming home was the worst thing ever, but I am going back to the Magic next August 21st so I am very happy!!!!!!

We will also be on the 8-21-04 cruise!!! We just arrived home from the 8-23-03 cruise last night!!!

I came here to get started on my trip report. It will be quite long as I have 15 pages of handwritten notes, Oh Lordy!!!

Sounds very relaxing to stay on the ship for 2 weeks, smart you :) Wish my DH could take more than a week off at a time but job coverage is short so only one week at a time. Just when you get into the vacation groove it is back to work (or off the ship). Would you ever do back to back again?

Does the entertainment staff remember you from the "first" cruise?

On my cruise this summer, there was a family who did back to back cruises and the entertainment crew (especially Bingo King Andy and Karen) made a big fuss over them.
