Currently on the Magic 7 night Northern Europe AMA

[jeffporfirio]

As the title states, we are currently on our 5th night of the Magic's 7 night NE from Copenhagen.
-According to our server, passenger count is Abt 1,300
-Formal night was last night, the vast majority (Abt 90 pct) were on suits and gowns, which was nice to see and experience. Nothing like the Caribbean schedules which feel sloppy on formal night; then again we are one of the few families from North America.
- Almost no masking, less than 10 pct
- Food and service have been exceptional
- Weather has been fantastic

Hi! Sounds like you're having a great time! Glad you've got good weather. I was wondering what the dining rotation pattern is, please, and also if you've had any information about a Frozen night? Thanks!

 

[jeffporfirio]

Our rotation has been; Lumiere's, Animators, Rapunzel's, Lumiere's, Lumiere's, Animator's. & Rapunzel's

Thank you! Is there a 'Freezing the Night Away' deck party for you tonight, or have they scaled things back a little for Frozen Night? I understand there were some issues, and uncertainty around whether they'd happen at all...

Would love to read a trip report from your cruise. Looking into DCL Northern Europe, Norwegian fiords, or Alaska Cruise myself. Enjoy the rest of your cruise!

There is a freezing the night away party tonight. Nothing seems scaled back, and the passenger count seems just perfect

It’s to hear that the food and service are still good. We get onboard on Wednesday and it’s surprising to hear that so many people went full on formal. I think our sailing will have a higher capacity but glad you have had a low passenger count.

We are on the next cruise so specific question, do any shops on board sell SD cards? We are entities and discovered that the card in my daughter’s camera isn’t working

This was our last cruise before Covid, love the Magic. We are doing the Med next year on the Dream. will seem strange not being on the Magic in Europe.

We sail in two weeks out of Dover. First cruise without our twin girls (they're in college and just went to WDW without us) . It's also our first European cruise. So what does the freezing the night away party entail?

 

[TXAg83]

I just told my wife that women are wearing gowns for formal night. She just went out the door to go buy one.

Another good thing about this cruise/itinerary, is I've has cellphone signal everyday except the second sea-day. I know, that you are supposed to unplug, but I had work emails to catch up on at night.

What was the the kid/adult ratio? Lots of kids? A fellow cruiser on a recent sailing told us NE have about the same number of kids as the Panama Canal cruises, but more than the TA.

Thanks for keeping us updated, Jeff! Has O'Gills had a Snuggly Duckling makeover one night?

How is formal night?

Lots of kids. From what I can at dinner it's probably 1:1 or a bit higher in the kid side

They did!

How is formal night?

The captain and crew come out to the atrium, lots of picture opportunities, everyone dressed up in suits and gowns, some in tuxes (those not dressed up, which are the minority, stick out). Free drinks in the atrium!
