Im always amazed that people choose not to get off the ship in ports: Yes, the pools are empty and there are plenty of chairs - but so there would be at most Disney hotels in Orlando. Even if you only get off the ship for an hour (which we did in Grand Cayman twice) there is that excitement of...

One of our 8 cruises was on Deck one and it was just fine................except remember that when you are in St. Maarten...........the window cleaners are hard at work as soon as you hit port! I made the mistake of throwing back the curtains at the porthole BEFORE I was dressed. Dont know who...

Hyatt is worth EVERY penny!:cool1:

You guys are nuts (with the greatest of respect!). Bingo is far and away the most mind-numbingly boring activity aboard.............we paid apprx $35 for about 5mins of actual "play time" and 55mins of listening to crew/guests' tedius comments. Some guests are SO thick! They must explain the...

On first visit to Cozumel, had to spend 2hrs at emergency dentist, then got a bit tipsy in Carlos and Charlies and had to go back to the ship! 2nd visit, walked along beach/shops - got very hassled by shopkeepers, so went back to ship. 3rd visit................had enough of Cozumel, so...

Our first cruise was Magical. Although we knew some of the things in store (we have family members who were crew for many years) we didnt have the Disboard info back then. It CAN help to know some information beforehand: ie: useful items to take/which staterooms are best for...

We all watched from Topsiders as a family (complete with baby in stroller) just amble along the road towards the ship in St. Thomas: as they neared the ship, they realized it had sailed!(Although we had only sailed a short distance, we could clearly hear them shouting "Stop the ship" :rotfl2...

Aft is at the rear of the ship. We have been in aft staterooms for 7 of our 8 cruises and love it. You are just a few steps away from the secret verandah on deck 7, and also "Topsiders". Wherever your cabin is, you will be just fine:cool1: Great though it is to have a verandah, you will...

We have been 8 times on the Magic - and every time we have got photos of EMPTY decks when we were strolling around after dinner, or before breakfast. Have no idea where everyone goes.................. probably bingo! :rotfl: It can get a bit hectic sometimes, but just watching people is a...

Definately do Maho Beach!!! We took a taxi there approx 9.30am and spent approx 4hrs enjoying the beach and the planes. Took some fantastic videos of the planes arriving..........but dont sit too near, or you will be blown away - literally! The larger planes tend to arrive around midday - but...

Eastern every time!!! Much prettier in our opinion, and the ports are much nicer. PLUS - you have the extra time onboard the ship to do all those things you want to do. Cozumel and Grand Cayman are ok for a day - especially if you like the beach, but if you wanted to sit on a beach all day -...

Sadly, Grand Cayman doesnt have too much in the way to offer visitors - we have been several times while cruising, and have seen pretty much all of it! Do the trip - or you will be BORED!:cool1:

If you cant get a reservation straight away for Palo, then leave your stateroom number on the reserve list at Palo Desk and ask for a cancellation. We have done this loads of times and never been disappointed. First night in Palo is generally only half full!:cool1:

We have done THREE back to backs on the Magic and didnt have to get off the ship in port at all. However, we chose to get off (with just our paperwork in hand) and head to the Mall at Merritt Island for a couple of hours. We changed staterooms on two occasions, and just left our luggage with...

As we had been to Cozumel twice (and didnt care for it), we decided to go and see the ruins. It was a fantastic day - but we have NEVER been SO hot in our lives! It definately is NOT a day for young children though. Even us "oldies" were flagging. Its a long day, the sea can be a bit rough...

I had major dental problem when on the Magic and went to see the doctor, as there is NO dental help onboard. I had to see a dentist in Cozumel (who was fantastic), but that will not help if you are in California! Take emergency kit with you. Enjoy your cruise.:cool1:

How sad that your cruise was spoiled by sickness. Dont let it put you off cruising! Sadly, these viruses are rife - due to lack of personal hygiene by a lot of guests. Weve witnessed literally dozens of people leaving the restroom without washing their hands........therefore passing on germs to...

Deepak did indeed marry Gemma (Palo) on 20th January 2008 in Bombay, India. They had been working aboard the Disney Magic for almost 8years, and been dating for 5years. Many family/friends and crew members joined them in India for the wonderful ceremonies. They will be having an English...

Forgot to take a photo of the fruit pizzas we had in PALO. They were SO delicious - we couldnt spare the time to photograph them! Make sure you try them at the Brunch - they were just superb.:cool1:

Whatever you feel comfortable with: our service was wonderful and we left $50 Some people leave nothing........others leave more. Enjoy it!:cool1:
