That sounds painful. I know Easter is right around the corner and then after that the Cruise

Today we sent the final payment for the cruise. Now I know it is getting closer. I am getting sooooooo excited.

Yes -- we paid ours off last Friday. It is a great feeling! Now, to figure out those pesky decisions on excursions....

Not only excursions.
How to recognize each other and where and when to meet. Some of you will already know each other if you do get together before at the hotel so that will be good. All I know is it is getting closer and closer and I can’t wait. I also have to get new luggage. When we went to Port Charlotte, Florida for spring break O’Hare destroyed a piece of luggage on us. They broke the zipper. We were luck nothing fell out. Oh well on to planning for the cruise. My new passporter should be coming soon.

Hi Everyone!

We are back from vacation and thought I would take a break from unpacking ( so much less fun than packing ) to post.

We had a great time in Scottsdale and Tahoe but now I can really start working on cruise planning!

Hope everyone else is having a great Spring!

Aloha,
Jen

hehe i was just thinking about this.

It was my DH birthday the other week abd his mam bought him a green t-shirt with slippers. I chuckled tomyself, and said that he neededs to keep the t shirt until july.

When we got home Dh was puzzled. I then explained that dis'ers wear green to identify themselves!

(Although last year I wore a lime green vest top and no one approched me or did I see any one else on embarkation wearing anything green)
It could have been me though !!!

Looking forward to planning

Out of interst I got another cruise planning trip - acknowledging that since we have the Romance package we can start making reservations ASpril 15th.
However it gave excursion info on cozumel, costa mayo and key west - no Grand Cayman!!!
This was different to my last one.
Just wondered what others have got ?

MrsJobba1: I hope this does not mean that they may change are Grand Cayman stop!! This would be very disappointing for us. We just paid are cruise off last week and it shows paid in full. Now I cannot wait till we receive the written conformation. When I wrote to them the last time they said that we were still going to Grand Cayman. Now I cannot wait to see if this has changed. It still shows Grand Cayman on line, I guess this will be a wait and see.

My husband started to work on are door sign this week. Instead of putting are real names on are door we are going to put are names that are used in are user names. Mine would be WLTDSNYFAN.

We are getting closer and closer. We decided to live on the Friday before the cruise and stay at the Hyatt airport (I think). This way we get up they take is luggage and we do not see it till we are on the Magic. I don’t want to take a change of delays at O’Hare and missing the Magic. That would not be good that would be very sad.

HI!
We are definitely onboard for the July 29th cruise. We have two cat 7s. Usually do a cat 4...3 kids...but decided to take our DD's best friend with us too. So this configuration sleeps 6! Hoping that it will work out well.

I am Tiffany, DH-Tom, DD-Abby 14 at the time, DD's best friend-Tine 15 at the time, DS-Iain 11 turning 12 onboard, and DS-Alec 10 at the time! We like Eastern better, but needed the timing on this one. Have you been on board since the new villas in the spa opened up??? To die for!!!! Make plans to indulge!

Welcome! I added your name to the list on page one of this thread.

 

[shanna]

Thank you all for the nice welcome and for adding us to the list. Marci - I'm sure my son (Kyle - age 5) will run into your 7 yearl old in the kids' club at some point. We will also be arriving a few days before the cruise to spend some time at Disney. This is the last big Disney trip before my son starts Kindergarten in early August so we're going to do as much as we can.

I'm looking forward to seeing all the changes on the Magic since our last cruise on that ship was August 2005 (West Coast to the Riviera). We were on the Wonder this past February (booked this one before getting off) but it doesn't have the updates like the Magic got. We're doing the Western Carribean this time since our last attempt at that itinerary (September 2004) got somewhat thwarted by Hurrican Frances. The detours kept us from seeing Key West and my husband agreed to go again for the chance to stop there. Okay with me if that happens again, means I might get him to try a third time

We are in a category 9 this time (previously have had category 6, 7, & 8) so I'm not sure what to expect being on deck 2 this time without a balcony. Anyone previously cruised in category 9 that can share an experience?

Happy cruising,
Shanna
