A Magical 4 night Cruise- 4/12/2013

[NoodlesMom]

Hello everyone! Since no one has started the meet thread, I'll be happy to. We canceled our six night spring break cruise for this one. I was sad to see that some people had their cruise canceled but happy to see a short cruise from Galveston. We live in Houston and are looking forward to being able to take a cruise that is not during peak holiday weeks and we don't have to take the kids out of school for a full week either.

I am a lover of all things Disney and this will be our third Disney cruise and our 7th cruise. I am so excited that DCL is cruising from Galveston! On this cruise there will be me, DH, DD12 and DS8. I look forward to chatting with my fellow cruisers.

It looks like there is a great list of little ones. Hopefully they can make some good friends on this cruise.

Let me know if I missed anyone or need to correct any information.



Woohoo! I found our cruise thread. I just booked yesterday on DVC points. I know, I know, according to some people that is a waste of points, but they are my points and I will do what I want with them.

I am really looking forward to being able to drive down and get on the ship. I am not looking forward to missing Castaway Cay. But Cozymel looks really nice.

So it will be myself (Lorrie), DH (Dave), and DD (Skylar) age 16.

Anyone else out there sailing on the 04/12/13 Magic out of Galveston????

 

[dallastxcpa]

Man it's gonna be a lonley ship without any of my DIS buddys.

 

[NoodlesMom]

We are changing this cruise to go on the Dream in Februrary. I hope you have a great time!

Well, I am sure the Dream will be fabulous. We may cruise one of the new ships next year depending on how well the 16 year old likes cruising as compared to WDW.

 

[dallastxcpa]

Bumping to see if there are any other DISers on this cruise?

Thanks for bumping. I did a quick scan of the cruise meet threads and the date didn't pop out at me.

We put a deposit on this one last week. 98% sure it's a done deal.

Awesome. Not sure if you have kids or not but supposedly this has been made one of the kids sail free dates. So might save you some money.

I did look online today and it appears all the category 11 staterooms have sold out. Or it could just be a glitch in Disney's online booking.

Hi y'all! We booked this cruise during our Christmas cruise and I'm excited to try another 4 day cruise. I haven't been on a 4 day cruise on DCL since August 1997!
Our group has 4 cabins with a total of 7 adults and 3 four year olds.
Is there any interest in doing a FE? Cause I know all of us would like to participate.

 

[skayrobe]

Hi everyone. We are looking at booking this cruise with our daughter, her husband and her two sons. Dh and I are taking our two granddaughters on the 4 day Febr 1st cruise out of Galveston. We are trying to sail out of Galveston as much as we can until the Magic leaves Galveston. I will let you know when we book. Sherry

 

[skayrobe]

We would love to do an Fe if there is one going. We should book soon. Waiting on a business trip date. Sherry

 

[KurlyStarr]

Hey there!! We are sailing the Magic for the first time on 4/12! I can't wait!!!

Wow, that sounds like a great group of people. We don't have any young kids in our group; although I did try to get my sister to bring her family but she didn't like the idea of the shorter cruise. I think a fish extender group sounds great and would love to be a part of one.

Welcome. Sounds like you have some great cruises booked. I was planning on doing another cruise in summer 2014 but I will have to figure out if I want to do a longer cruise or a land sea to WDW.

Hey there!! We are sailing the Magic for the first time on 4/12! I can't wait!!!

The excitement is building. I have 8 more days till I can book my excursion, spa, and palo.

 

[dallastxcpa]

I wanted to update because my Mom will be cruising with us. So we have Me, DH, DD (16), and my DM who is retired.

Any suggestions on excursions that my Mom might enjoy. She is pretty active and has no physical limitations.

 

[KurlyStarr]

We can't book anything until Jan 27... we are traveling with a 2 yr old and a baby (will be almost 6 months) so I'm sure we won't do anything big when we dock in Cozumel. I'm still interested to see what is available.

DH and I were there via Carnival a few years ago and went ATVing through Mayan ruins. I had a LOT of fun! I'm not sure if your Mom would be interested in something like that though...

 

[Ana~n~Joseph]

We are supposed to sail this one. I currently have a hold on the reservation and DH said he's formally booking today. This is very last minute for me (I don't do last minute) but my in-laws all of a sudden decided they wanted to try cruising. Our group would be Myself, DH, DS (3), DMIL, DFIL and possibly my DM (70).

yeah, my DH saw the ATV one and we were both like, well maybe not.

Mom, is supposed to be looking over the excursions and letting me know her top three. I will be good with whatever as this cruise is mostly about relaxing for me.
