Hi there, Looking at a 7 day Med cruise - Barcelona, Villefranche, La Spezia, Cit. Naples in August of 2014. What I am seeing on the interwebs is hot, long lines and lots of crowds for the main attractions, with a smattering of fewer open restaurants. But also advice that if you know what...

Kay1 - I will see what I can dig up. Wrennies, As far as the room goes, it was perfect. Occassional noise from above that we noticed but not actually disturbing. It was probably most noticable on the balcony and even then certainly didn't diminish our enjoyment of the room. The locatoin...

The weather was mixed. A bit windy at all times, it was mostly great. In St. Maarten and St. Thomas the beaches and water were excellent and warm - mid eighties. The pools on board were always warm enough but my wife (who is always chilly) spent a lot of time wearing an extra sweatshirt when...

It was 11pm on the Magic at the end of February. I know that because I thought it would be a great place to try but I went there around midnight and it was closed off with a sign that said 11pm.

I just got back from a 7 day Eastern last month and was fairly well disappointed to note a serious lack of stars to view. Having never cruised before I was expecting to see a TON more stars than normal and was surprised that what I saw was considerably less than what I see in rural MN. It...

Sounds like patience and persistence will get me most of the way there. I will start to check with carriers to see how far out they allow for ressies. The Aer Lingus is a great tip I perused their site just now and they have some great deals. I will add them to the list. Thanks!

We loved our first cruise last month so much that we decided to book the August 27, 2011 7 Day Mediterranean cruise. We have been to Europe a couple of times but would like to give our two kids (8-6) a taste and since we loved the mix on the DCL last month we thought it would be perfect. Then...

Apologies in advance for the long post. Perhaps this is bad form to ask but does anyone know how much they actually make? Both our stateroom host (who was awesome) and our Server (who was also excellent) seemed to work at all hours of the day. We saw our Server in three different poolside...

Thanks for the encouragement, Jill in CO! I will try to dig out some more pictures as that seems to draw the folks in.

We traveled (and ate) with another family all week. On the last day the servers seemed kind of cool overall until the other family left and then they were all hugs and kisses and thankful and happy. Kind of made me wonder about what our friends tipped or whether we got more of a goodbye...

I just got back from a 7 day on the Magic and we saw mostly good but certainly some of the chaos. Our two kids 7 and 4 enjoyed themselves and really loved the planned activities. We used them sparingly as we wanted to have our kids with us as much as possible, but they still spent a couple of...

Just a piece of info that we didn't know going into it, but the kids get a wristband (with a chucks square locator on it) that they wear all week. Our kids were a little bothered by it off and on through the cruise. Not complaining, it was just much larger than we were expecting. Kind of...

After dinner we retired to our turned down room, well appointed with a delightful pair of swan towel animals. We read from various books on the verandah to the children and finished our preparations for the next day. I awoke early to watch the sunrise from abovedecks while the rest of the...

Just back from a 7 day and was surprised that they haven't come up with a convenient way to communicate between parties on board. While it really wasn't a huge issue, some form of texting capability without the wi-fi charge seems like it would be pretty useful. We ended up getting non child...

We just got back from the 2/27 7 night on the Magic and our 4 year old daughter ate a dinner there. They actually took the kids up to Topsiders and had pre-filled trays with options for the kids. They ate up there before Topsiders opened for the dinner rush and she had a blast. It was mostly...

This is mostly for wrennies but the room we stayed in was FANTASTIC!!! Very good condition, the verandah was perfect, our stateroom host Tri was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a better location. We were maybe 10 doors down from the aft stairs (perfect for getting up to Topsiders in...

We were, of course, properly announced (though without title, which I found odd), greeted by many of the ship's staff and pointed in the direction of an amazing glass contraption that spirited us nearly 100 feet up in the air to the 8th floor in only a matter of seconds. After finding our way...

Thanks for the comments. Added some pictures to illustrate characters and story to date.
