For us northerners, thinking of our cruise can always bring warmth and sunshine!

Jan

Hi!!!

Jan

Yepper! Count us in! The Brothers Dave (JanDave's Dave and my Dave that is) will be holding the walls of the pool up for sure. Jan and I will have a great time too.

Tips
See post #1868 from Jacquelyn for many tips - http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=26688481&postcount=1868
Your onboard tips will total $76.25 per person regardless of age.

A plastic front shoe holder is great for organizing toiletries.

Parking at the port is now $15 per day, paid before you board the ship.

You're going to be closer to the equator and the sun is brutal!! Sunscreen is your best friend!

Have plenty of batteries, film, disposable cameras, etc. A disposable camera on the ship is $20!!!

Don't sweat formal night. Dress nicely and you'll be fine.

Adults, every afternoon some very nice snacks (sweets) are free at the Cove Cafe. Help yourself.

You may consider bringing a night light, clock with illuminated dial, and extension cord (I use the cord to blow dry my hair with my own hair dryer).

Take your camera with you at ALL times! DH Dave teased me about running back to the stateroom before breakfast on our first Magic cruise. Five minutes later, we met up with Captain Henry on deck 9. Of course, Dave wanted a pic of him and the Captain.

Pace yourself -- there are so many activities on board.

The Cove Cafe also has snacks in the morning which are complementary.

Palo brunch and dinner are my favorites so I highly recommend trying to get a ressie. Getting on Palo's wait list usually turns into a reservation.

As the ship is leaving port, check out the CMs at port who are waving to us! What fun. Also, there are lots of people checking out the Magic along the waterway and waving as we are heading out to sea.

Get up early one morning and stroll around the ship. Great photo ops.

Check out the "secret deck" on 7 aft.

For those who want to try a different beverage ... BBC's are my recommendation. That's my own personal sailaway drink.

Do not miss the CMs entertainment on Friday night at approx. 10pm. The locale may differ from cruise to cruise, so check your Navigator that day. The entertainment is over by 10:30 pm.

Most of all - enjoy all the Magic on the Magic.

Call before boarding the ship to find out the list of movies playing: 1-888-325-2500

Address to mail packages to the ship - no liquids, weight limit is 20 pounds and only one box per stateroom. See the DIS DCL FAQ post on the main board but I tried to summarize here.

IDS c/o (Ship Name) / Ground Services
Guest Name / Stateroom # (GTY, if you don't know what it is when you send the package)/sailing date
9001 Marlin Street
Cape Canaveral, FL 32920

In the bottom left corner of the top of the package put the following information:ATTN: HOUSEKEEPING and have a packing slip attached to the outside of the box.

Packages must arrive by 5:00 PM on Friday for Saturday and Sunday sailings.

Good Evening Gail and BuzzNutt:

I can't wipe the smile off my face today!!!!

DCL Magic makes my day!!!

[BuzzNutt]

This is ou first cruise ever so we are very excited.
The In Laws have been before, so lucky.

 

[kimmcbee]

We will be joining all of you also. We are a family of 6. It will be DFIL, DH, DS 14, DS 10, DS 6, and Myself. We were luck to get connecting rooms on 7.. cant wait to start counting the days. Hope to get to know all of you by the time we sail. Hope you all have a great weekend.
Kim

 

[glindamood]

Welcome Kim! I have been smiling since Wednesday. It is such a good feeling to have a trip or two in the plan.

Have a great weekend everyone. I get to travel tomorrow for work but should be able to stay in touch.

 

[kimmcbee]

Gail,
Thanks for the warm welcome. We have a few rips in the works between now and cruise. DH and I are going on a cruise in May, but just not DCL , then we are taking the kids to WDW this coming October for fall break, then off on the cruise in 08.

We have had our first snow for the year, and the whole town closed down. Pretty funny when you move south from the north. We got 1 inch and school has been closed for the last 2 days.

Have a greeat weekend, and will talk to you all soon
Kim

 

[JanDave]

Welcome Kim and Family!!!

DH and I are cruising. Leaving the kids and 6 grandkids at home! When the kids get older, we'll take them cruising. The oldes is only 4.5 and the youngest is 7 months.

We are having blizzard-like conditions in mid-Michigan. What part of the country are you in Kim? My son and family live in West Virginia, and one inch of snow shuts the town down.

Jan

 

[JanDave]

Yepper! Count us in! The Brothers Dave (JanDave's Dave and my Dave that is) will be holding the walls of the pool up for sure. Jan and I will have a great time too.

Because Brothers Dave love Anne Marie (they both have crushes on her!!!), they'll also be hanging out at the bar at Palo each evening!

[kimmcbee]

Jan,
We live outside of Nashville. We woke up to flurries this morning and the boys are already hoping it stayes around till tomorrow so they can miss another day of school. It is funny to me because growing up in Grand Rapids, we almost never had snow days.

Have a great weekend and hope your weather is getting better.

Hope your kids get their wish!!!

Stay warme everyone!!!

Jan

 

[JanDave]

Hello Everyone!

Hope you're staying warm and not having any problems with freezing pipes, snow, ice, etc.

Just thinking of the Magic to make me smile and keep me warm!

Jan

 

[BuzzNutt]

I so cannot wait to see the open water next year. The countdown is killin' me.

 

[JanDave]

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!

Glad we all survived the cold spell! Hurry up DCL cruise.

Have a great weekend.

Jan

 

[glindamood]

Happy Saturday all! It is a balmy 12 degrees here - above zero I might add! The sky looks blue out the window so that makes it a bit better.

Have a great weekend!!!

Being silly here and trying to be creative (not my strong suit)
Buccaneers take the West.
What do you think?
