January 19,2008 / Eastern Magic / "The January Thaw Cruise"

[modlin1024]

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful trip. I had a blast and so did my little girl. I was wondering how many of you rebooked? I rebooked for the 24 Jan 09 western and and thinking about doing the back-to-back on the 31 eastern.

I didn't have any complaints on the trip at all and my room was awesome. We stayed at the Shades of Green resort on Walt Disney for another week before returning to the freexing white north. It is -20 outside. Yuck. I can't wait for break-up. Anyway, hope everyone had a great time!

Cheers!

Thanks Cheyrl I really had a blast the past 15 mo. conversing with all of you. Right now I'm kicking myself in the butt for not rebooking onboard for another cruise. Unlike our govt., I have to keep to a budget. Now, thanks to the govt., the rebate check we get will go towards booking another cruise, although in a few years. I'll try for one of the new ships, I already have the countdown clock set for 2011. So.....hope to see some of y'all onboard the new ship. Happy sailing!!!!

Yeah, we didn't either....we won't be able to go for another 3-4 years, so we will have to just be o.k. with Disney World for the time being.

we're shooting for the new ships too..2011....here we come..maybe we can arrange to stalk some of you again!!!

Of course DD and son in law informed us tonight they are trying to go from ALaska to Europe..Italy, England or Germany...

At this rate, we may never cruise again...

Nothing good on the DCL issues so far...They did give us our 15% off coupon...it is so full of stipulations its almost not worth using it.

Well gang, one month ago we were having brunch in Parrot Cay. Sure do wish we were there now, over 25" of snow on the ground and low tonight is going to be -10.....I want to be on the Magic!!!

Hope all is well with y'all....BTW, did anyone get a picture of our group??

Brett

 

[Bethipooh4]

Holy cow...25 inches of snow...

Wow is all I can say....

DD is safely in Alaska, and arrived to 4 days of non stop snow. Shocking for her coming from NC. She did see her first moose today though..in her new back yard...lol

Thanks for the picture Cheryl.....I agree, I want to be back on the cruise. If I was that guy in GA. who the won the big lottery, I would do a back, to back, to back. I could do a month on the Magic!!

Having fun from snowy WI..........Brett

That seems soooo long ago.

We also didn't rebook on board. The kids keep asking to go again. Time to start saving the pennies as we won't be able to take time off school like that again. Its a scary thought having to pay twice as much for the same service to go during a school holiday time :-(

My postcard from Castaway Cay arrived today. We left two with guest services to mail the next time they docked at CC. The one to the UK arrived a week ago. At least it got here.

Hope to see you all again on another cruise...

OOOOO that was so smart to ask the CM to mail it for you. That was one of my regrets on my TR that we didn't get to send ourselves one. Oh well...next time.

Max keeps asking when we will be on the next cruise....a few more years hunny!!!

You are right, Brett, I would take the entire month and stay in Walt's suite and just live the good life the entire month of December. I would home school Max that year and life would be great.....after all I could afford the best teacher to come with us, just like royalty!!!

Have fun in your snow.

Brett, are you guys still getting snow??

Then I won't tell you it was sunny and 82 here in NC on Friday

Of course, DD is in Alaska, and they got up the other morning and was greeted to a foot of snow...she is like, what the heck...ITS MARCH.....

She is to blonde sometimes.....

Hi everyone,

Well I did it. I booked again!

I have been casually looking around and noticed DU had some good group prices on the 8/15/09 sailing of the Magic. Not as good as we got on our 1/19/08 cruise, but good enough, so I booked it. Going to try a cat 8 this time (on deck 7, forward). Don't know if we will miss that nice verandah, but we will find out.

Anyone any comments on a cat 8?

Kids don't know. Just wonder how long I can keep it a secret? I am hoping until we are at the port! We travel to FL often enough for our homes there that it is not a big deal for them, so it won't be too hard explaining a trip to Florida off. Just how long can I keep quiet about the cruise. I am soooo excited

No snow,yet, had over 90 inches for the season......Now we're under a flood watch....2 to 3 inches of rain for tomorrow, but it could turn to snow, 39 degrees right now.
