    Just off the Magic: The food is MUCH, MUCH BETTER!

    I thought the food was quite good, and the presentation of every dish was lovely. I can't compare to previous Disney cruises, as the one in January was our first, but the food compares quite favorably, in some cases even better, than the food on Celebrity, where the food is great. They can...

    Shower curtains

    My secret is to buy my own at a dollar store and put in on inside of the ship curtain. That way I don't have to worry. It's funny, though, I didn't have any trouble with the shower curtain, but my adult daughter did every time. I think it has something to do with where the shower head is...

    Cruise Magnet graphics and links

    Just returned last week from our cruise on the Magic. Thank you so much to everyone who let us borrow their graphics for magnets. It was so much fun to put these on the door! We put ears and a Minnie bow on the door number thingie. So cute. Then, since it was just my daughter and I...

    Cruise Magnet graphics and links

    Wow! Thanks to everyone who has shared their great graphics and artwork. It looks to me like a lot of the art has been removed, as many of the graphics don't show up on my screen (and some of the messages say "removed"). Does anyone know why they were removed?

    Bees?

    Not that this will help if you're allergic to bees, but, the critters that hang out around food are usually not bees, but a type of wasp called a yellow jacket.

    Why a soft sided cooler and will this work?

    Are you allowed to take food with you off the ship? I thought that due to customs regulations, you are not allowed to take food off the ship, or bring any back on with you.

    Ladies, did/will you carry a purse while you're onboard?

    Most of the time, I wear a lanyard with my key card in it. My lanyard has two small zippered pockets on the back, into which I put a few bucks in cash and a lipstick or lip balm, a few small post-it notes, and a small pen. When I don't want to wear the lanyard, I have a very small (cute)...

    What can you do/see at the cruise terminal?

    OK, I've changed (yuck). But, why would search work with one style, but not another?

    Yes--it's coming right up!! After all this planning, my hubby is not coming along on this trip :sad1: :sad1: He's staying here to care for his mother and the various arrangements that need to be made for her. (Just had hip surgery) I'm still going with my 19yo daughter, though!

    Has anyone tried the vivitar underwater camera?

    I just ordered the Olympus 790--I'm looking forward to receiving it!!! Those pictures you got with your disposable are great! I used one in Hawaii last year, and didn't have anywhere NEAR the results you did.

    DCL picture of the day Part 2

    Those pictures look great! My camera has a bracketing feature--do you think that will help? What is a good starting point for shutter speed? Thanks!

    We're aft of the aft elevators! On most ships I've been on, aft is nice because the elevators are not crowded. On Magic, I think I'll like the ease of getting to the beverage station. I'm on the Canyon Country side of town.

    DCL picture of the day Part 2

    I would never use a flash during a show. First, it is rude. Second, it is not going to help your shots anyway. A flash is no good if the subject is more than 10-14 feet away.

    Cruise out of LA - Advice Please!!

    I have been on Monarch of the Seas twice now, and would go again any day. It's a great getaway. Monarch, though an older vessel, is beautifully maintained, and the crew is wonderfully attentive.

    Is Legoland worth a spot in our itinerary?

    You will love Legoland. It's a different experience from Disney. Wonderful for anyone who really loves Legos! Charming and very pleasant park.

    Catalina Island Question

    The crossing varies a lot depending on the weather. Just take a Bonine (generic: meclizine) before boarding the boat.
