During our visit to Costa Maya in 2012 (or 11) I can't see the dates in my signature while I post.... we did a segway tour with our son who was about 11/12 at the time. So much fun... We stopped on a beach for a while and then segwayed back to port. Your youngest may not be old enough. It...

Oh what the heck - you can never have too many pictures... view from my office window

Thanks for posting I took one picture from my office window but yours are much nicer.

Deck 10 is my preferred Deck. I love how close it is to everything on Deck 11! I had a balcony and appreciated the bit of overhang from the deck above as well. Some people don't like it - but I appreciated the extra shade. I hadn't really heard about the noise until reading these boards when...

I've really enjoyed reading all the memories. I have two that are special to me. February 2011 - our first Disney Cruise on the Magic - Western Caribbean - Me, DH, DS(who was 11) and my mom who was 79. I cannot describe how happy mom was. She was delighted with everything and I think her...

I agree with all the above suggestions - I grew up in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan every day. As luck has it - I can see the ship terminal from my office window. I completely agree with the suggestion that just the City itself is a great attraction. Walk around Central Park - climb the rocks...

I think a Disney Cruise is a double whammy for some people... there are anti-Disney people and there are anti-cruising people. There are some who are both... I just shrug it off. What I don't get are people who won't let their kids see a Disney movie and announce it with smugness as in "I am...

Here's a shot of her from my office window!

I've done it from the NY/NJ area - 3 times. Twice we drove straight through aiming to arrive at Port Canaveral in time to board the ship. Exhausting but we've driven to Florida so many times we've got it down to a science. The last time (this past August) We drove straight through to Port...

I don't hate Starbucks but if asked I always say Cove Cafe is my favorite spot on the ship outside of my balconey - it's my quiet place where I tell the bartender what I'm in the mood for and he/she surprises me... and I sit and sip and read. I have 5 Starbucks within a quick walk from my office...

I hate dressing up. I'd dress like a slob all the time if I could - I say this in a dress at my desk. That said, on our 7 night in August we all dressed nicely... I wore dresses all but one night (Pirates night - white capris and a red or blue top) and the two nicer dresses were what I wore on...

While I've been on only 3 Disney Cruises - I got off the most recent one in September - and I used my one key for two rooms - as did the others in my party. I've done this on two of my cruises - the first on the Magic and the third on the Fantasy (we were all in one room on our second cruise so...

You can go to guest services with them and have access to your room put on their key card. It's really easy.

Ditto - I wasn't planning on bringing more than one small bottle of an after-dinner liqueur to add to a cup of coffee and sit on my balcony - and my next cruise is before the cut-off. I come from a family of BIG drinkers - I'm often made fun of for drinking so little - so I'm not stamping my...

I know the original post is from about 2 years ago but I'm glad that this thread popped up again. I had forgotten that I slipped around a bunch when on deck.... I never actually fell but I had a lot of those balance corrections that were easier when I was younger. I'm on the Fantasy in about 4...

My son was 11 and 13 on previous cruises. He wore a shirt and tie for the first and a suit for the second - but only because he already had a suit for a few celebrations that had happened that year. This year (he's now 16) I'm going back to shirt and tie - and instead of dress slacks I'm...

I make sure I get some alone time - I've found little spots on the ship to curl up with a book (being on deck is nice - but it's the air-conditioned lounges by a big window that I really love). I will also take a walk around a deck I'm not living on - just to see the artwork or small differences...

I've seen the whole range. This will be the first year I let my son (16) to wear shorts. Nicer shorts - and not on the semi formal and formal nights. I would rather him be comfortable and neat than grouchy and dressy! My husband will wear chinos and a polo shirt except for the 2 fancier...

Just booked this weekend for our 3rd Disney Cruise. I don't think we'll do the fish extender but I wanted to say hi! My DH and I will have DS 16 and his friend who is also 16. They play Ultimate Frisbee for their High School - which I know they can't do on the ship. But if anyone has any...

My son was out of boosters by the time we went - I hope someone with younger children can answer.
