Disney Magic Russia with Mickey DCL 7/22 +Navigators Video & Photos

Copenhagen Saturday.

I looked a few times out on the verandah overnight and there were cruisers coming back at all times, say 2am and 4 am, we had gone to the city by free shuttle post Palo, Tivoli was packed with long queues outside as Snoop Dog was performing so we choose to walk back to the Magic.

Today it's overcast looks like rain, very windy here.

It's taken me 15 mins to post the last to posts here, but all other sites are OK. This site bounces to adverts etc.
 
Have a great day in Copenhagen despite the weather!

Interesting about the passports, we had no checks at all. But then we never left the Schengen area as Norway is part of that.

Every time we went on/off passport checks were undertaken. Tighter than before.
 
Ok so we have had wind and rain it's not very nice, the tain heavy just as we had a walking tour but it was still good. We went to many alternative places that cruise tours can't and won't go to we saw the real Copenhagen. Photos on the live blog reduced today as it was raining. We are touring inside palaces this afternoon.
 
Advance plans for St Petersburg for evening meal we will get back at 9 pm, concierge confirm we can swap to late dinner that night or go to the Buffett in Cabanas open at 4.45 and 9 pm note that is a buffet not served from MDR sit down menus.
 
DF.. great posts. Sorry about the rain (it's good luck!!!)

If you happen to have the opportunity (and it is not too much to ask), can you try to get some intel on the new tween club?

THANKS!!! Glad you are having fun! The food pics made me hungry!!!

Sunday 26th Sea day. Random thoughts.

I of course will be posted less today as it is a sea day.

Overnight we had a storm with heavy rain, you could hear it, I went out at midnight to see the bridge from my verandah all I could see was the Aura P&O cruise ahead of us and a flashing green light for the channel. It was dark, raining and rough.
I went to sleep post that, motion wise we have not had any effect but it's noticeable on the lower decks, random movements and if you look out of the windows you see the movement more.

It's not pleasant out there now, looks like a ship inside day.

I am only going to post limited notes in this but there was a ship wide announcement about 11.30 pm, including in all staterooms, of " Brightststar " I know what that means but they added , Brightstar Deck1 zone.... very serious.
I wish the family all the best. UPDATE a CM see below is OK.

We have a character VIP breakfast in Animators plate at 9.15 with Mickey and the gong our server will look after us,

Today Inside out is being shown in the WDT at 1.45, it's been added I think re the weather.

We have a concierge cocktail party 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm, in Keys with a special " Disney visit" ( normally says a character)

Last night we had the Animators palate dinner on rotational menus and it's so good on the upgraded Magic clear screens and lots of colour. The show was a guest Hector is Magic, he is from Spain, is very good, they got a close up camera on him and it was shown behind him on the screen and the two side screens and he is very very good and very fast.

We have been booked on a backstage Walt Disney theatre tour which is for all of us, including a minor, looking forward to that, concierge say it's the first time it has been run for a while.

Ship Internet as you can see is good but drinks the MBs fast.

Great cruise so far the only downside is the weather.

I keep bumping into previous Servers and CMs they are all coming over and saying hello which is very nice.

Food has been ten out of ten so far, fresh supplies came on at Copenhagen, shops were closed a lot o
In Copenhagen and will be closed two days in St Petersburg so with the weather I expect them to be very busy today. After this day is a port every day, Stockholm, Helsinki, and St Petersburg then Tallinn.

I thank everyone who has been reading or viewing here or on the blog or my FB, and we will post navigators and higher quality photos post cruise, which we cannot post at this time.

BTW The navigator APP for messaging is very good, you just go to chat get your number, your family is listed and go, if you want yo chat to others not in your stateroom just give them your number, it's fast and a good App.

Ok some more updates Character breakfast was good they staggered the start times in slots of 15 mins and each slot allocated an area of Animators palette and then the characters went around that area only, so you could stay and have food but see the characters only once. AP had mickeys mouse cartoons on and was coloured in a wonderful way.
It was Mickey MIinnie Goofy and Pluto.
Crew member was unwell that was the brightstar last night but she is fine now.
Went to Cove cafe we got three deck chairs, I went to my stateroom underneath for sun screen, and a lady had taken my bed in four minutes even though my wife and daughter were there.
We lost propulsion overnight and are getting into Stockholm an hour late so 9 am to 5.45 pm, and I have to change my private tour times. We slowed down at noon, but I was told as we were close to islands in the high winds and it was just to be careful.
We have gifts of popcorn and arcade cards given to us.
We will be invited to the private deck 7 forward for the entry to Stockholm and view the archipelago. We dock on this cruise only in the town centre.
Still rough seas and overcast with rain due.
Now to firm up on some moves, arcade goes and vibe takes it over, boutique going to coward stack, outlook cafe being re opened and changed with some walks removed so the area of this bar and the boutique is the new concierge lounge.
Edge moves.
I was speaking to people staying on, they are paid during the two weeks but nothing major this dry dock.
Concierge cocktail party at 4.30 pm.
 
Internet.

Tip re young children ( minors).

Even though I agreed to cover all the costs of my stateroom and gave my son charging privileges. He couldn't purchase a package. I saw the IT expert in Internet area deck 3 and he showed me the screen, they block the purchase of packages for children until an adult wants it unblocked.
 
Hi DF hope the trip is truly MAGICal!, can I just get an update on Movies please....is ANTMAN showing yet? my son is desperate to see it, hoping its on next week.

thanks, loving the pictures.....blueberry ice cream.....mmmmmmm
