I was Cruising on the 7 day Magic Western.(sniff sniff). I have been brainwashing DW and I think it is working we are going to save up for 2007.
These are some of my best pics from the cruise.

Is there anyone else out there going through Serious withdrawal symptoms like me, that was lucky enough to be on the 4/24/04 Western?

Great pictures! We might be heading for an every 3 year schedule also. It is so expensive to cruise during school break time (and starting next year our twins move to middle school).

It is HARD to let go of a habit. We cruised every September for 5 years, but that is the cheapest month.

Hope 2007 works out for you! You will get to see the Golden Mickeys and the new Cinderella show then! I guess one good thing about going every 3 years is that things do change some during that time (but they do still have Disney Dreams which we love!).

I'm with you Phrebert - but I have November and December to look forward to plus I was on the 7 day last September with WestJones (Hi DJ) and went on a quick Wonder cruise this past February. That Celebrity commercial is so true!

DJ - we are going in December right before Christmas and taking DS out of school for only 3 days and he is a sophmore. It just worked pretty good with rates and the school schedule for this year - I have college kids with finals to work around too. Won't really be home until Christmas Day but that is OK - we are together.

I think after the trip is actually harder than waiting for the trip!!! We haven't hit the "it's been a year since we were on" point until June. But we've sailed the last 3 years in June and alas, there won't be one this year.

I do believe the best solution is to book another!!!!!! I started planning our 6-06 trip as soon as the dates became available to book!!!!

Gail,
We went last year right before Christmas on a 4 night (so we were home for Christmas---we used that 1/2 price coupon we got from our September cruise). The ship is VERY pretty at that time. We really enjoyed it, but it was a bit cool at CC. We got off in the morning and I needed a jacket (but by afternoon it warmed up some). We did the kayak tour at CC and it was a really nice day for it since it wasn't really hot.

We have another cruise booked for spring break next year. I just haven't quite decided what to do about the next year (will probably break down and book another one, I seem to be addicted, but it is a costly addicition when you go at spring break!).

Hope you guys have a great cruise!

Me, me!! I will be spending this week staring at the screensaver I put together of that cruise, (what the heck, why not just load all 400 pics on there??) and remembering where I was every day. Maybe I will actually, finally, write it all down...that was a good week. It was my first cruise and it was a really really good vacation. I haven't been anywhere since then, been saving up for the next one!
