WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remembering the Magic Pt 21

[mishoe01]

Angie - I'm not going to try for California in February. I have a better chance of being able to do the October cruise if I don't do anything else

 

[Tink rules]

Angie - glad you liked the "new" Magic - would love a more indepth review if you ever get the chance/time/inclination Did you have any issues?

Jan - sounds like that was a wonderful tribute to Tom's dad.

Michelle - glad you enjoyed yourself & feel motivated. Make sure you get some rest though, don't want you getting run down.

I've been resting... I've actually been sleeping really good lately.

I am still getting over the cold I got when Angie & Dennis were still in Orlando (I think it started 10/29). Doing the vitamin D3, the B liquid and some OTC to help with the nasal congestion. Hope to knock this out soon.

I used Advil cold and sinus when I was in Jersey... I really thing that I'm just allergic to NJ... But it helped a lot. hope you feel better!

Had a great visit with Jackie when she was here - even though she slept over at Deb & John's

We ended up doing the Disney Dream for our birthdays - 11/3-11/7. We boarded on my birthday & disembarked on hers. Weirdest thing ever since we booked it only 8 days before sailing (FL resident rate came out). I didn't really believe it was happening/didn't get excited until we were pulling up to the ship!

Hard to believe it's only been 1 week since we left the ship (seems longer) and it's only been 4 days since Jackie went home (Monday).

Saturday & Sunday were spent in Miami with Will & Mickey, touring 2 of NCL's ships (pics posted on fb).

This weekend, I'll be meeting up with Deb & John at Ghiradelli's (Sat), then at their house for dinner on Sunday (with Will & Mickey).

sounds like you're busy! Don't forget to get your freebie chocolate at Ghiardelli's!

Ok. Understand that. We are having to cut back a bit on our trips also. I told Dennis we have to stop acting like we are rich because we are NOT!

Only issue we had was with the new set up at Cabanas. It would probably be ok at non busy times, but when 2 large excursions return at 1:30 it was madness. When we entered the door we were told to move on down because they "don't want any lines". Only problem was there were lines coming together at each of the different "stations" and I could not tell where each began or ended. Eventually I got one taco and a slice of beef. (while getting the taco a woman reached over and pushed her way in saying she just wanted some chilis, but then got shell, meat and all the trimmings! No hard feeling though after I experienced the rest of the visit, since I am sure she was just trying to get SOMETHNG to eat!) No veggies because it was impossible for me to tell where the line started and I did not want to cut in front of anyone. The desserts are now behind glass and there are 2, sometimes 1, CM that you have to ask for what you want. There were as many as 6 people in each of the two lines for that and not any time to "browse" and see what they have, so I just asked for the jello which was the first thing I saw when I finally got up to the counter. We only tried it that once and after that we went to Lumiere's. We put on our comment card that we would not eat there again and I ran into our dining manager with my plate of taco and beef slice and told him it is a ridiculous set up that this is all I could get. He offered to get me whatever I wanted, of course, but since I could not get up to the stations to see what they had, I told him that would not be helpful, but the 4 lines moving past all the food as it used to be would be very helpful. My rant. Otherwise, we loved it all. The atrium is so open feeling now and everything was bright and clean. They show pictures of different pirate scenes in AP during dinner on Pirate Night and I thought we were very lucky to have gotten that rotation.

I only ate at Cabanas on the Dream once - worst part IMO was trying to find a seat & then trying to squeeze around the other people/tables to get to that seat.

I agree with you about not knowing where the lines start - there were people coming from both directions. I just dove in

Did you ever find out what was wrong with Jeffrey? Did he, Marishka & Aaron have a good time? (I know, dumb question )

No diagnosis, but he got better. The opinions of MDs were gastritis or hiatal hernia. I'm thinking gastritis because it seemed to resolve in about 3 days.

They had a good time. Mariska wants to do a girls trip, Jeff is planning on sailing with us in Dec 2014 for a 4 day on the Wonder. We are taking my nephew, his wife, their son and daughter in law with 1 year old girl, their daughter and son in law (these are the 2 that planned it with us and then talked mom, dad and bro into going).

 

[MrsMork]

Oh, and Aaron, of course, had a great time at the Edge. We saw him at dinner (he did not stay for dessert) and on excursions! We flew to Denver with him post cruise though, so I had him right next to me for that time.

Michelle-- glad you are getting good rest and are still benefiting from the class.

Monica -- glad you had such fun Birthday events.

Angie-- we has the same opinion of a Cabanas on the Dream and are surprised that they duplicated the mad house on the Magic. Repeated dining there improves the experience because people get familiar with the arrangement of food and movement plan. But hard feelings occur when first-timers try to be polite and others try to be fast.

Who is Mariska?

:group hug:

Makes sense, but still frustrating. I know I've had to bite my tongue before to stop myself from being snarky.

 

[Tink rules]

Who us??? Snarky???? NEVER!!!


Now it's time for me to take the QM out shopping...

Nope, not us.

It is frustrating when the CMs tell you there is not supposed to be a line, they are FOOD STATIONS and then the other guests behave as if there is a line or you SHOULD AT LEAST come to the FOOD STATION and get in line BEHIND THEM.

But, of course, some people are more SPECIAL than others. And even if you are Concierge, you still have to wait in line or deal with people in the diningrooms.
