Hi everyone

We are Amy, DH Steve, DS Kai (aged 9 when we travel) and DS Lucas (aged 6 when we travel).

This will be our 5th and 6th Disney cruises, as we are doing back2back meds next year!!

Must say, that despite cruising in the caribbean, Bahamas and Hawaii - I can honestly say that our cruise on the Magic last summer in the med was easily the best one we have done - can't wait to get back there!!

 

[Kathymford]

Hi everyone!! Please add me Kathy and DBF Steve. This will be our first Disney cruise and first time in Europe!!

Hello fellow cruisers we have 15 onboard so far wouldn't it be lovely if we had the whole ship to ourselves

 

[Rachieiom]

Hi there

I have booked this cruise for me and my family. I am Rachael (31) and am bringing my DH Stephen (34) - username Ste123 on the forum and DS Noah (will be 32 months when we cruise).

So excited for this next cruise as we have just returned from the 2nd June - 8 Night Bahamian Cruise on the Magic, was absolutely amazing!

We joined the FE group last time too and it was lovely coming back to our cabin each night to more gifts!

Looking forward to getting to know you all

Rach

Welcome onboard Rachael, Stephen and Noah

Great idea about a FE list, I'll add it to the fron page in anticipation of a fellow cruiser offering to organise it

I'm up for organising a cocktail tasting session too if anyone would like to take part It's usually $18 each and is heaps of fun

 

[tony64]

I was wondering if people were getting into Barcelona earlier in the week and were interested in a DIS meet before the cruise?

 

[debsters41]

Hello again everyone! Now that Summer is here my favourite thing to do is to plan things to do on vacation. This year is a staycation for us, but next year is the cruise! We are planning on arriving in Barcelona a few days early, and so are up for a meet! We will also participate in fish extenders and any tastings you suggest! I was wondering, since my daughter is Greek and is going to be 19 on the cruise, will they let her take part in the tastings? I read somewhere that they may allow it with parents' consent. I am a bit worried about her, as I know my younger DD will be hanging out in the stack all day/night. It isn't important, I just like finding things out!

Have a good week and Happy father's day to those who celebrate!

We are back-to-backing, so unfortunately (or fortunately for us) we will already be on the Magic. Unless people are arriving ultra early - in which case we plan to be in Barcelona on Thu/fri 22nd & 23rd of August and would be happy to meet up
