9/16/2017 Magic Transatlantic from Barcelona

[RedSox68]

Hello. I am new to this group. I read through it and see several mentions of a post card exchange and reference to fish extenders, but is there actually an FE group that has been started for this cruise? We would like to participate.

Hi, MonieS:

Welcome aboard. If you would like to be added to the stateroom list and postcard list on page one, just let me know how many are in your group and your stateroom number or category. Thanks.

We now have a fish extender link -- thanks to MonieS. It is included under information on page one of this thread. Here is the link: https://www.disboards.com/threads/f...for-9-16-2017-transatlantic-on-magic.3587623/

If you need any help, please let us know. Thanks for taking this not too small endeavor on!

Hello. My husband, 7-year-old daughter and I would like to plan some excursions on our own. We are looking to connect with a few other families willing to venture out with us. We would like to go to the beach in Spain and just see the cities probably by foot. Please let me know if you are interested or have recommendations.

Hi -- and welcome aboard. If you could let me know either your stateroom number or stateroom category, that would be great.

On page one there is a link to the fish extender exchange, or you can participate in the postcard exchange listed -- or you can do both if you are ambitious

hello I'm new to this forum BUT wanted to know if anyone knows how to join or find the Facebook page for this cruise?

No links to the page but if you search 2017 WBTA you can find it.

Hi everyone! I read this week that Kyle and Mistie Knight are going to be the in-house entertainment on the Disney Magic for the summer cruises through September 27th. I can only assume that this means they will be on the WBTA with us. My husband and I really enjoyed their magic act when they were on our 2014 Med cruise.

Although I enjoyed them (and they were also on a TV show over here the other month with Penn and Teller which made me smile) having seen it twice now I was hoping for someone else. Looks like its all going to be repeat shows with Junk performing and that comedian bloke with the duck.

Hi All, I am trying to deciding what we are going to do in each port. I leaning more to sight seeing and have contacted a few places about private tours but they seem to be pretty high in price. I seen the hop on and hop off the red bus but I just not sure I do not want to get us lost, but it looks like it loops. My fears are it is easy to get turned around and get lost. can you share your plans and if anyone is open to touring together.

I am doing the hoho in Cadiz and Lisbon (and New York). Its the same company I used in Madrid last year and they were OK. You get a headset and I just tend to do the entire route and then get off near the ship to come back. There wasn't that much in Cadiz or Lisbon I really wanted to see apart from the architecture. Someone mentioned they had done the hoho in Cadiz and it wasn't great but I've found it for around $15 so have gone for it just in case. As I'm travelling solo its a nice way for me to see part of the city without spending too much.

Keep in mind -- anyone finding tour companies, hop on/hop off, port information that you want to share -- please let me know and I will hook the links and/or info to the first page.

Seville is meant to be beautiful. Personally I don't fancy doing much in the first few ports as its probably going to be the best weather (based on what people have said about 2016 one) so I want to get some use out of the pools. Just going to get off for an hour or so and buy some wine and see a bit of the city.

We did this on our Med cruise. Seville was just beautiful and we put it right up there with Florence!

I have added you to page one. Let me know if you want to participate in the postcard exchange.
