    Got my Nook now need a book!!!

    Read The Hunger Games on our recent Magic cruise...LOVE this series, but I felt so guilty on a ship full of endless food reading about so much suffering and starvation!! Sookie Stackhouse books are the best...Stephanie Plum, too (very fun & light reads...no guilt!!) Great Series...The...

    Did Your Tween Like Edge?

    I think the Edge experience is unique for each cruise...very dependent on the group of kids cruising with you on the ship. Unlike the Lab and Club (which have very organized activities and the counselors are very much in charge), the Edge is "organized" by the kids and the activity schedule is...

    If you bought all pics on Shutters CD ...

    We bought the CD early on in the week of our recent 7-day Eastern Magic cruise for only $299 (the price later in the week went up to $399, so get it early) and we love it. There were well over 100 pictures...many pics that we would have passed up in Shutters during the cruise, but are so glad...

    Interested in feedback from someone whose child was at the Edge

    Our 12yo DD also LOVED the Edge on our 3/26 Eastern Magic cruise a few weeks ago. The counselors were great...they even took care of the kids at the Pirate Night Party. Our DD tools pictures of the Edge Farewell Party slides, and when we saw the pics at home, we were shocked how many fun...

    Got my SPH!

    LOVED LOVED LOVED our SPH rooms (5022 & 5024 11/2003 Western Magic and recently 5522 & 5524 on the 3/26/11 Eastern Magic). Deck 5 Forward is a great place to be...very little traffic, and the Forward elevators are not crowded. Great location to easily use the stairs to dinner, the theater...

    Question about family time.

    I agree with you, TinkBell10. We just retuned from our 3/26 Eastern Magic, and our 3DDs (12, 17, 17) had mandatory family time daily from 5:30pm - 9:30 pm. We had the 2nd dinner seating, so we told them to get back to the rooms in time for a shower before the 6:15pm show, then we would take...

    Magic cruise report March 26-April 2 part 1

    Is the coast guard send-off a normal procedure?? We were aware of the delay in leaving the port (during the sail away party), and watched all the commotion with security and "suits" from the cruise ship. We were initially worried that there was a security breech, but we concluded that...

    I am hoping the same thing...that they mean midnight (12am) not noon (12pm).

    When bringing wine onboard...

    We just cruised on the Magic Eastern last week. We packed our corkscrew inside a Tupperware large tumbler w/lid (very useful for soda/drinks from Deck 9) and sent it through with checked luggage - NOT our carry-ons (or it would be taken by security). The wine bottles MUST be packed in your...

    Unusual Hawaii Questions

    On the DCL website, the itinerary for Hawaii shows times in port for Kauai as 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Is this correct??? :confused3. That would mean only 4-1/2 hrs on the island of Kauai...seems like it would not be enough time to explore :confused:

    Magic cruise report March 26-April 2 part 1

    We were on this same cruise...also from the Chicago burbs (LOTS of people from the Midwest and Canada on our cruise). We missed the adult ventriloquist (Taylor Mason) show, but saw him at the family show and he was funny. Dale K the hypnotist was a surprising good adult show. My DH was the...

    Wave Phone Details

    Thanks for posting this info on the Wave Phones. We loved them on our Magic Eastern (3/26), but didn't realize that they work on Castaway Cay (we knew that they woudn't work off the ships at the ports, so we just didn't take them with us onto CC). The info in this post is fantastic...everyone...

    Wave Phones ??????????

    I guess they do work on Castaway Cay...glad we didn't bring them onto CC, however, due to the torrential downpour during the afternoon while we were on CC (our 12yo and her Edge friends got soaked). Would hate to have ruined or lost one of these phones (ouch...big fee for damages/loss of phone!)

    Wave Phones ??????????

    Loved the Wave Phones on our recent Magic cruise, especially with a 12yo and two teenagers. We had adjoining rooms, so we got four phones. My DH and I shared one, and each one of our DD's got a phone. The Text Messaging feature was great, and all three of our kids were very responsible with...

    Dream, Mar 20-24, 2011 (day 3 with pics, updated 05/09)

    Great report on The Edge! We were just on the Magic Eastern last week, and my 7th grader (12yo DD) absolutely LOVED the Edge and all the activities with her group. We were seated at dinner with another family who also had a 12yo DD, and they were instant friends. Some nights the girls would...

    First-time cruiser report: Magic Eastern Caribbean, Mar 26-Apr 2, 2011 (+navigators)

    Thanks for such a great report! Our family of five was also on the 3/26 Eastern cruise...our second Disney cruise, and, for the most part, our favorite of the two. We were worried about boarding, and opted to NOT complete the online registration. We also took advantage of the one-way rental...

    Snorkeling on Eastern

    We just got back from the 3/26 Eastern, and we loved our snorkeling excursion with Captain Nautica in St Thomas. It was a Disney excursion, which is unusual for us since we usually book excursions on our own. We went on the early 7:30 AM excursion - great choice since Captain Nautica has speed...

    picture packages

    We just got off of the Magic 3/26 Eastern cruise yesterday. We purchased the photo CD early in the week (the first or second night of the cruise) and it was at an early-bird discount price of $299. Later in the week the price went up to $399. We had two adjoining rooms, and, as long as your...
