We have been on the Wonder 2x and the room was always kept very well, however,This was are first time on Magic and the stateroom host....Rodolfo really was not that good.... anyone else have him? We loved the dining room servers Raphael and Ranzil... and will request them for sure next time....

Thanks for all the prayers for safety on the way home yesterday. We encountered zero problems and had a very smooth trip.

I finally found the only pair of pants that fit in my closet and am getting ready to leave for work soon. First day back.

I'm glad you guys made it home ok. I've got some photos of you that I"ll email at some point this week.

You know our stateroom host was GREAT. We even came in from CC on Friday to find a towel shark with my DS's brand new Del Sol shark sitting next to it. Gilbert was very attentive and really took care of us.

The food was ok. For me it was just very nice in that I wasn't cooking (the last few years, vacations consisted of Travel Trailer trips which means that mom still cooks). Elliott had no problems with the chicken tenders and DH and I always found something we enjoyed. I'll look forward to another Disney cruise to see if the food gets better next time.

So who from here is doing the Oct 10 2009?

For now I am booked on it. However it is a little higher priced than the weeks before and after due to Columbus day.

So I am going to have to think about this for a bit,

Where is that one going?

Columbus day was our thought because kids have off two of the days so they would be out of school less

We are on the 10/10 - DH wanted to do the St. Croix - it was only about $150 diff from the 9/26 we were originally going to do.

Eastern but instead of St Marteen we will stop at tortola.

Our room attendent was Tina, our room was always clean and we had towel animals, but she wasnt overly friendly. We had to ask for more shampoo etc because we ran out, she wouldnt restock it at all unless we asked.
Our attendant last year was awesome!

anyone else still rocking???? My shower was bumpy this morning. lol

It's amazing, I didn't rock at all like I thought I was going to! When I went on my first cruise 10 years ago, I rocked after I got off the ship, but not this year! The Xanex I took to fly home may have helped that though! LOL!!!

I really can't say enough about our stateroom hostess Flori - not only was our room always impeccable, but she really went out of her way for us. I asked her advice on how to go about getting Secret Mickey gifts inside someone's cabin and she said she would do it for us, even though our SM family was on a different deck and halfway across the ship! I explained I didn't want her to go to the trouble, especially since we wanted to make 3-4 deliveries throughout the cruise, but she insisted it would be her pleasure.

We also saw her at least twice every day; probably because her cleaning cart was stationed just steps from our stateroom door, and one of the crew doors was just across the hall from us. Always chit-chat with the kids, which grew into big hugs every day, and she always did some sort of cute thing in addition to the towel animal each night. One time it was the usual sunglasses-on-the-towel-monkey, which my kids loved, another time she dressed a towel animal in one of my daughter's souvenir t-shirts, etc. She also did something special with their little Mickey and Minnie dolls each night... she tucked them into the turned-down beds, or had them riding horseback (lionback?) on the Simba and Nala dolls, or left them on the bathroom counter with toothbrushes propped next to them. My favorite was Cozumel...

We came back to find Mickey and Minnie holding hands in the porthole, gazing out at Cozumel. So cute!

Ok guys...what was the name of the all inclusive day resort in Cozumel that everyone was talking about? DH HATED the shopping there and since we are planning another cruise I thought I would see if he would prefer to do this instead.

 

[MagicMe]

You can do it! I flew almost 20 hours last year to Hawaii and it wasn't that bad! The planes for the long trips usually have great movies too! Go ahead and book and we can meet somewhere in the US and fly to Europe together! Think 14 days on the Magic!

Keep working on her Tiffany. I would love to do a TA but not sure I can get my Mom to go (she feels responsible since she babysits her great grandchild and his Mom is a school teacher so she can't get off).

Joe and I are thinking about doing the WB I just emailed our TA for pricing. We are also thinking about the 8 day Dover to Barcelona if we don't have a wedding to pay for in 2010!!!

We did Nachi Cocom and it was great!!! We didn't go in the beach much, but we hung out at the pool all day with unlimited Corona's! There were maybe 50 people there, including other Disers: Charlie & his family and Ken & his family. This was one of our favorite days of the cruise, except for the sunburn we all ended up with.

Thanks guys...that is what I was looking for. I can't find a price list on their site and when I ran a search for it a number of the references I found made it sound like it wasn't all inclusive...but I remember you guys talking and saying that it was.....so I wanted to be sure I was looking at the correct information.

I'm getting there with flying that far...I would LOVE to do that cruise, so I may just put aside my fear (well, to an extent) and just do it.

It would be fun if we could all go on that cruise together! It would be fun to spend time with your lovely family again, Tiffany.

I use to be that way about flying also, but a couple of trips to FL and Las Vegas have really helped.

No Michelle hasn't taken her ring in to be sized yet she has been too busy since they got home her dryer died Monday night , than she had class last night and than Friday and Saturday she has weddings to attend. Maybe, next week.
