Anyone else on the Magic April 27

Michelle, Dean, and Emily!

Thanks for your messages. The thread was very helpful to me, because due to the time change (we are Mountain Standard Time) that I hadn't considered, the later dinner might work for us. Plus, I hadn't considered the shows either. It might be to our benefit to try it out for a couple of days and then request a change if it doesn't seem to be working. It was good hear that DCL seems to do their best to accomodate a family's needs either way. I had planned for our family to eat together too - - since I'm not counting on Flounder's reservations (from what I've read they can be difficult to get on all your requested times). Hopefully we'll meet you on the cruise!

How will I sleep?????

I can't believe it we had to get another suitcase. I thought we were packing light. I think we still packed too much.

The kids are getting excited too. The only problem is it means they don't sleep well and get up early. Now is when I want them to get some extra sleep.

I wouldn't worry about packing too much....it happens and you don't really have to schlep the bags much!
HOPING FOR FABULOUS WEATHER!!!

So what did everyone think??? Are any of you still out there???

I thought it was very nice...not as great as I expected, the service was only so/so..everytime I ordered room service SOMETHING was missing...very crowded..no seats at the pools...the character interaction was very good..i think they had many oppertunities for photos...I went with a 2 year old so I was not able to do any of the night activities..I'm also pregnant so I was too tired to do them anyway!
In my opinion (someone who was not interested in shopping for jewlery, booze or perfume) they can keep st. Maartin, and St. Thomas..for those traveling with small kids the easiet was by far, Castaway Cay...no dealing with taxi's, where to go for lunch..I would rather have just spent the days there and have them just sail in circles during the night (I guess the island is so bug infested after the sun goes down you can't even be docked there without the ship being effected)
I also got pretty sea sick until we hit St. Maartin...the first night was the worst so I guess I won't be cruising again! But I really did enjoy Castaway Cay, my verandah, and the time with my family at the beaches in St. martin, thomas...albeit a pain in the butt to schlep my two year old, stroller, camera equiptment etc...but that's traveling with kids!!
I should have a travel report up soon! I'll let this thread know when I get our pictures up.
Thanks for asking!!
