Hello all, I just found the board last night when I was searching for reviews of the cruise. This will be my first cruise but I am going with a group of very experienced cruisers under the age of 9 it will be an adventure, as it always is with them. I am so excited I can't wait. We are also going to the park for a few days after the cruise.

Hi Welcome! Well, you found the right site. Anything you want or need to know you will find it here. Beware - DIS board is addictive

Not sure how old the kids are but there is a kids thread where they can post and meet friends.

It's only me here. The people I am going with are in another state, so I am counting down all alone. I can't wait for my nice long flight next friday. But, first things first my mom is comming to visit me this weekend no time to think about the cruise yet.

Hi all,

Just checked the 10-day forecast on weather.com:

Friday - 67 and sunny in Orlando
Saturday - 77 and partly cloudy in Cape Canaveral, 20% POP
Sunday - 78 and partly cloudy in Key West, 20% POP

A bit too soon for Cozumel and Grand Cayman - but the forecast for both on the Monday is in the mid to high 80s - woo hoo!

Definitely better than what we are experiencing here, but I guess we will have to pack some capris and a sweater for our Orlando day on Friday (we fly down on Thursday night...).

You know we're close to sailing when the 10-day forecast can be checked daily!

yes, its very exciting looking at the ten day forecast and seeing another vacation day pop up. by this time next week, we should be starting to board, or at least very, very close!!

Still thinking about whether we really need to haul the video camera, or whether the regular camera is enough...

bring it all... i'm bringing video camera, digital camera, underwater digital. my feeling is you can never take enough pictures or video of a family vaction.

So nice to hear when you are stuck in a lodge watching it snow and waiting on pep to get their out of the washers and dryers ----how annoying

I love forecasts that improve as the time gets closer! The Friday and Saturday forecasts are both much better than what I posted yesterday!!!! Cayman is posting 85F for Tuesday!

This has to have come up before! I posted this to the common thread, but maybe you guys know...

Has anyone ever charged up their ipod onboard without their own computer?
Can we do this in the computer room on the Magic without getting charged and internet fee? And would there be someone on staff we could leave it with instead of sitting there watching it charge?

We don't want to bring our laptop on this trip, but want our own music as well as music for the kids to fall asleep to...I'm pretty sure the batteries are going to run down.

 

[sherekhan]

Within an hour, I had my answer. these threads are magic

anyway, the answer is no- you don't can't plug in at the cafe, nor would want to cuz you might lose your music and that an "IGo power adapter" from Radio Shack will power that and cell phones and other stuff...

Only Palo we could get was 11-1 sunday. Which will be neat to be there while coming into key west.

Hey guys! I'm warming up the ship for you! The seas have been pretty rough but not enough to make me sick. It was overcast most of today with moderate seas. Yesterday's seas were rough -- 13-20 feet.

We did the Spa Villa today - Couples choice and had the wrap! We were in there for 150 minutes instead of the scheduled 130! They started with a foot bath (soaking your feet in warm sudsy water) followed by an exfoliant treatment. Then we moved to the hot tub for 20-25 minutes. Then -- we went inside and had our wrap -- then back outside to shower. We returned inside and had our massage! After the massage, we had fruit and tea on the deck. It was well worth it!!!!

Wow...Spa Villa sounds like a dream! Glad you are having a great time. We are all counting down the days, minutes, hours and seconds til we hit the Magic!

Thanks for the report...see you SOON
