    Sept. 2, 2012 Dream cruise

    This is our first "short" cruise - our other 3 cruises on the Magic were 7-day. Also our first time to stop at Nassau. Having visited many other islands on our eastern caribbean cruises, and because we have so few days to enjoy the Dream, we're leaning toward just staying on the ship on this...

    Sept. 2, 2012 Dream cruise

    This will be our first time to cruise without our kids. They are both adults now, so we're leaving them to fend for themselves. :cool1: We have done both main and late seatings on past cruises. There are pros and cons. I feel a bit rushed with the main seating, but I find myself hungry and...

    December 12 - 19, 2009 Western Magic

    Packing, running errands before we try to leave at 3pm! A friend is bird-sitting our parakeet and another friend is coming every couple days to check on our backyard chickens and gather the eggs. The cat will have the house all to herself. We can safely leave her for a week no problem, though...

    December 12 - 19, 2009 Western Magic

    I have to tell you, I've always wondered how people got the free upgrades. This is our 3rd cruise, but I've heard of first timers getting them. Funny thing is, if you've never booked a cruise you don't quite know why I'm so excited. That's why I had to share here...people will understand what...

    December 12 - 19, 2009 Western Magic

    We decided to grab the FL resident rate and book our first Western! We've sailed on two Eastern (2004, 2007). The first cruise was the year we lost part of our house to a hurricane and then we cruised in September and had our trip interrupted by another hurricane. We decided to avoid...

    Today is St. Thomas day - here's a recap since my last post :thumbsup2 When I mentioned on Monday that the pools were not crowded - well, the actually closed them all by 11am or so. The water was splashing so high out of them - it was wild. Monday was definitely rougher than Sunday -...

    December Disney Magic 12/8-12/15/07

    Sorry for the delay in my posting - we left Port Canaveral with smooth sailing, but by the next morning, we were in some fairly rough seas. The whole ship is creaking and is really rocking. Yesterday the bridge report said 8 - 13 foot seas with the wind being "Moderate Gale Force". :scared1...

    I was wondering the same thing! We plan to go pretty early, so hopefully, it won't be an issue since it will be an afternoon launch!

    That would be soooo awesome! :thumbsup2 We're still here - packing is almost done, but I have a million loose ends to take care of. Hopefully, we'll be ready to leave by 3pm tomorrow. If we get out of here in time, we're thinking about going to MGM for a couple hours to check out the...

    Even though it's getting down to the wire, I can't stay away from the DIS :lmao: Started playing with my magnet stuff and realized I better stop! I've got some things ready to print - if I don't have time to do more, it will be fine. At least, that's what I keep telling myselft :rotfl...

    I saw that on the news! I will add your niece and her family to my prayer list! Will someone start the clean up while she's gone? (after the waters recede) I hope she is able to relax and enjoy her time on the cruise!
