Hi everyone!!!

I'm posting LIVE from my stateroom!

CC was great, hardly anyone was there . They told us there is about 1700 of us on board. Not sure if that's true or not.

Jennifer

That sounds about right. When we dropped Bob and Lee at the port they told us 1950 people on the ship...lots of open cabins, so upgrades were still being given out.

Hey Jennifer!

I am up in the Cove Cafe on my laptop. Wireless does not work in my stateroom - 5024. But the guys are working on it. Saw them on Deck 5 today.

Great day today at Castaway Cay. Having a hard time uploading or even emailing pics out. But keep trying. A bit of lighting in the distance.

We are on our way!!!

Debbie

excellent...so wireless will be working for everyone shortly..hopefully.

Have a great day!

Hi All.
Just thought I see what was posted. Wow! Too many to read at these prices.
Michelle is doing a great job with the reports, I couldn't add anything.
Do have some great pics though if the laptop ever connects.

We are having a great time so far. Weather has been great. Even the first day out in the open sea has been fairly warm. Next few days will tell. Nice seas also.

Wish all of ya were here with us.

Thanks again to Cheryl and Bob for the great ride to the airport. The disney bus is nice, but riding with friends is much nicer.

Dinners are the same menus so far, but today we got a really nice hardcover book about the crossing of the Atlantic.

We are about 3,100 nautical miles from The Canary Islands, and the waves are moderate at 4-8 feet. (Can't ya tell I'm watching the Bridge Report on TV!!)

I met a ton of the DIS'ers, they are all a great bunch of folks. My girls are so excited coming back to our room as there is always a little goodie in our fish extender for them!

I'll post more, but off to bed for me!

We are now in the "dark blue" water of the Atlantic.
No turning back now!!!

Jennifer

Jennifer I hope you are having a great time getting the ship prepped for the rest of us 6/6-ers. Seriously, though we will miss you I hope you are enjoying this trip od a life time.

Glad all is going well - please can you give us some more information of the hook up system for lap tops now in cabin
Many thanks and have a great time.

Subscribing......
Wish I was sailing on the Magic! That would have been heaven to be sailing for that many days and ports! But I will sit here at work and live through the trip reports Hope you all have a great time!

The whole ship is being set up for wireless Internet connection.
They are in the Process of doing this...

Some decks work and some decks do not.
Debbie is on deck 5 / SPH and was not able to use her laptop in her stateroom.
YET

What is the cost of the internet access? We are so glad you are taking advantage of it!!!

 

[Funfoody]

Thanks for the trip reports! I'm compulsively browsing them.

Has anyone tried to change dollars to euros, or buy euros using a credit card, onboard? (I suppose it's a little early...)

 

[MagicMe]

thanks for the great reports so far. Have to live vigariously through you guys!

Be careful when doing this with a credit card. Some (I didn't say all) banks/CC companies consider this a cash advance. Bring along some checks to cash, or get some Euros before you go.

May I make a suggestion or two. A couple people on the TA have mentioned this thread is too long to read due to cost of the internet package, and due to the in/out connectivity issues. And the OP made this thread to post live reports in the first place. A lot of us (myslef included) have run this thread up, with non live posts. I suggest
Anyone just subscribing to the thread, you do not need to post to subscribe. Go to the top of the thread, there is a link called thread tools. You can click subscribe there. It may cut down on some "just subscribing" posts.

Questions like this one about Euros, or the one about CC gift, maybe we should post them on another thread. We can start a new one, called something like "Questions for those of you on the Magic for the TA". I am as guilty as anyone, as I have posted answers and maybe more.

By doing this, we may be able to keep the thread manageable, and enjoyable by all, including those currently on the Magic. Anyway, just my 2cents.

 

[faireygod mother]

Great idea. If one is not started maybe you or I can do so now. I am on the western repo and have loads of questions.

 

[Brisully]

Are there any special pins for the cruise?


Side note - I hope everyone has a great time on the cruise!! I wish I was there!

 

[Jennifer48]

Good to hear they got the WiFi installed. Now for the other rumor, have you seen any sign of a PhotoPass?

Thanks for keeping us updated! I love the live reports!

 

[denise]

Can someone on the Magic get a message to a passenger?
Just found out last night that a friend from church has a sister on the cruise! Don't know her room # but her name is Paula Harr and she is traveling with Harry Owens. Just think it would be cool if she got a message saying HI from her sister Roberta!!!:
They will also be on the next cruise...doing two back to back!

Thanks if anyone can help.
can't wait till 070707 cruise!
