22 Sept 2012. First Sailing Out Of Galveston, TX

[hamm1207]

16 days until i enter the Disney bubble and don't have a care in the world!

 

[maleficent esq.]

We are sailing out of Galveston on 10/6. I have a few questions that I am hoping after your cruise someone will be able to answer. The first is what time did the cruise terminal open? Which terminal did you leave out of 1 or 2? Were there any upgrades offered at check in and if so where do you go to get an upgrade? Is there anything else I missed that you need to tell me.

Thank you so much. I really look forward to hearing from someone. Hope you have a great cruise.

CHAMPAGNE GIRLS "BEAUTIES AND THE BEASTS EVENT"
We now have 19 people on the list for the champagne tasting. I spoke to Disney and they say we MUST have a min. of 25 for the tasting. They said if we don't get 25 to do the tasting that we can have an open bar. There would be a fee of $13.75 pp and you can have unlimited drinks during the hour we are having the social. We are looking at Sep. 23 (a sea day) at 3:00 PM. So ... we either need 6 more to sign up for the tasting or we will go to plan B and do the social with unlimited drinks for the $13.75....... thoughts?

The terminal opens at 11. You have to sign up for a time to arrive when you do online check in.
Other than that, we haven't sailed yet, so we can't really answer. You can always ask about upgrades and if they have any, they will give you the price to do so.

I like the open bar concept better. I might go for that one.

Welcome to the cruise! Glad you could join us. We do have a lot going on. Even though you are too late for the FE's there is still a lot going on.
We have the Champagne Girl's Beauties and the Beasts Event. Sign up link in my signature below. Girls wear tiaras and pink boas. Most likely will be an open bar social. $13.75 for all the drinks you can drink in an hour.

We will have a Meet and Greet at 3PM on the day we board the ship. This will be at the Promenade Lounge, mid-ship deck 3.

Some of us are greeting the Magic as she sails in to Galveston at 7AM the morning we embark.

If you haven't done so you may want to read back through a few pages to see what all we are up to.

Two weeks from tomorrow, sailing away
