Just booked this cruise! Carol and Mike from Oregon in an OV GTY. I will have to read up on this thread over the next few days to see what group activities are planned. I might be interested in the champagne tasting. Not sure about FE; when is the deadline? We want to snorkel and see some ruins so I need to read up on excursions.

Welcome to the group. We are going to have a magical time for sure! FE sign up ends in a few days. Aug. 20

Fish extender closes on Aug. 20th. If you want to join in on the fun be sure to get on the list no later than August 20. I am addng a column for favorite colors. Mainly the kids favorite colors... please let us know your favorite color.

Meet and GreetWe will meet at 3:00 on day of embarkation @ Promenade Lounge, mid-ship deck 3 for a meet and greet. Also a good time to get your lanyards make changes on the FE list for those getting upgrades or changing cabins.

I will have a dry erase board hanging outside my cabin for anyone needed to leave a note about cabin changes or events.

All ladies are invited to Champagne girls. Also it seems the men want to come and be labeled as the Beer Boys. I have made a pic for anyone wanting to print a T-shirt. It is on facebook. I will work on something for the Beer Boys too.


Looks like there are the movies being played on board

Toy Story in 3D
Tangled in 3D
The Muppets
John Carter
Chimpanzee
Reel Steel
People Like Us
The Avengers
Brave
The Odd Life of Timothy Green (premiering 08.15.12, so good chance it will be on board).

My gut feeling is yes, but that's just a guess.

That is our guess as well, and we sure hope it is!!

Welcome to the cruise! Come join us on FB too.
http://www.facebook.com/groups/172602906205102/

The Champagne girls is an event for tasting champagne or just socializing with the others. The girls wear a pink boa and Tiara. The guys are welcome too. We have logo's you might want to print on shirts as well. More about it on FB.

Fe is a gift exchange of sorts. you will hand a pocketed fish extender outside your door. People on the FE list will leave a small token gift for you sometime during the cruise. You will also do the same for the others on the list. You may give a gift per person or per cabin. Some of us give a gift for the cabin then a little surprise for the kids. It's all up to you. This is way fun and the kids really love it. I hope you decide to join in on the fun!

Is there any way to get the info on the daily navigator ahead of time? I wanted to book a dinner for just the hubby and I at the adult only dining room but of course don't want to miss a neat show or activity the kids would love!

Unfortunately, probably not. It's the first cruise of its kind so there's nothing to really base it off. The itineraries out of Port Canaveral don't match up in terms of sea days and port days; there's really no way of knowing how they'll schedule things.

All we really do know is that Formal Night will probably be Night 2, Pirate Night will be Night 4, and Semi-Formal Night will be night 6. There will probably be a special dinner menu on night 7 (the Till We Meet Again menu).

Saturday is my update the roll call list day, so i will make all changes then.

I'm glad to see more people joining us for the cruise!

I received two packages in the mail today for the arrival of the Magic! One package contained Mickey hands to wave, and the other contained mickey ears, hands, and an outfit for Walt (my traveling mickey ears bear--my husband thinks i'm crazy).

A 5C is much better than a 7A the navigators veranda has a white wall. You should be very happy That is a good upgrade! Or did they give you the 7A instead of a 5C?
