May 18, 2013 MAGIC EBTA - Who is with us?

[gonecrusin]

On a "regular" cruise CC wouldn't be bad, but I am looking forward to enjoying all the great friends we've met here - would suck not getting to spend all those sea days too!

CC would get kinda lonely for 10 days, don'tch think?

True I was thinking in terms of past cruises where CC was the last stop before returning to reality. I wouldn't want to miss the rest of this cruise.

Right, I knew this! It was discussed before, sorry to bother you again about it. We have a mini-van reserved for Saturday morning (hubby will take shuttle back to airport for pick-up). We didn't get that great of a deal but no one way fee and we didn't want to make two trips. Plus stopping by a target and liquor store on the way to the port will be nice.

For those who have returned to Entrprise before:

Are there taxis to get back to the port? How much did it cost and is it runable? Could DH run from the office to the port?
Thanks

OOPS! I don't think I thought of how DH was going to get back to the hotel or port after dropping the car off. Guess I better check into that. What would I do without you guys?

No worries! Some are rarin' to get it rolling, but I also know we have a few more pages until 250. We shouldn't have to make up a part three - so this might the the only "new thread" we have to set up!

You never know they could get chattier

Is there a dart board on the Magic?


Random question of the day time

I'm pretty sure there was one in Diversions.

 

[Ruthie25]

We've just booked! 11c stateroom (we have an expensive house move coming up!)

I'm Ruth, 34, and I work in the operating theatres at a local hospital. I enjoy reading and baking.

My husband Richard is 36 and also works at a different hospital. His main requirement for a holiday is that there are places that he can walk to avoid cabin feaver.

This is Richard's first cruise, and my second, although the first was a school trip on a ship with the decor and facilities of a cross-channel ferry!

We have been married four months today, and we are so looking forward to spending time together.. work is such an inconvenience!

We are flying from Manchester to Heathrow then on to Houston... at the moment planning on arriving on 16th May to allow us time to recover from the flight, and possibly to go to the Space Centre.

At the moment we haven't booked our return to Manchester from Barcelona... it's looking like it could be expensive as it's the end of the UK half term holidays.

so excited to be joinging you all!

Welcome!

We are from the UK and flying from BHX -IAH on the 16th too!

What are your plans for the time before the cruise?

 

[Kirbo]

We'll have 28 days on board after this cruise and 35 days after our fourth cruise is over (the first Med). Our fifth cruise is booked for next year and it will put us at 42 days before we finally hit gold. Technically, someone could have 70 days aboard before being gold! (That would be five 14-night cruises.) But if someone only did 3-day cruises they could hit gold after 15 nights (five 3-night cruises). Kinda wacky.

But I do understand that they used to only have the three and four day cruises and that's why it's like that. I just think it's too bad they don't also have a designation for folks that have been on only longer cruises.

 

[Tink1987]

What are your plans for the time before the cruise?

We will just be enjoying Galveston really. Was going to stay in Houston for the 2 nights before hand but it doesn't really interest us!

How about you?

I've added the link to our website and our second thread below where you can read about all the events we have organised so far. You can sign up for the events on the website

Mistake

 

[padalyn]

Ours only dropped $30 and we have four people. I guess that makes me feel better since I don't think we'll get a refund haha.

doubtful - but one never knows!

Is there a dart board on the Magic?


Random question of the day time

never seen one - something to do with flying projectiles.

That's a shame - DB wanted to see if anybody was interested in a darts tournament or two.

Ruth - Hello and Welcome from a fellow Brit! We are flying out 15th and having 2 nights in San Antonia and a 3rd night in Houston ready for Disney transfers to port. It's looking like a great cruise so glad you're joining us.

No dart board, but a few beers and cocktails and the giant jenga made for a good afternoon last summer.

Thank you - DB wanted to see if he could organise a darts tournament.

You can probably hear me sighing relief that there is no dart board!

Welcome and congrats on your marriage! If you are intersted, we stil have two spots open for the "adult" tour in Gibaltar.

But if someone only did 3-day cruises they could hit gold after 15 nights (five 3-night cruises). Kinda wacky.

wow, you could be gold for the equilvant of the 15 day Hawaiian! Still would rather do Hawaii than 5 3-day Caribbean cruises even if not Gold

The British are coming, the British are coming...lame, I know but that's what popped into my head when I read your post and I couldn't help myself

I have finally got around to updating our website with the pin trading event details.

Please see below link to let me know if you wish to attend.

https://sites.google.com/site/onamagicaltransatlanticjourney/home/organized-events/pin-trading

Also, please let me know if I haven't picked the best place for it or if you have any suggestions on how to make it better

Thank you!

My DB is a keen photographer and is wondering if anybody would be interested in a photo walk around the ship on a sea day or evening?

I won't bother doing a whole page and poll for it on the website yet until I see if there is any interest

We are still Silver. Not that it makes a *huge* difference, but I actually think they should change their criteria to number of sail days or something else besides cruise number. After this cruise, we will STILL be Silver even after sailing for 28 days (on three cruises). Some people can get Gold after 15 days. A B2B on the dream can be done in a week and that counts as two. Boo! Okay, done venting now.

From what I read on the CC website, they used to do it that way....and I'm with you, I wish they'd go back, but as usual, Disney benefits those who live in Florida most.....

We are still silver too, total of 32 nights, but only 4 cruises. We'll have 6 soon as we're doing a b2b over spring break, that will add two, but not in time to make a difference for this booking...
