Hi All

Posting live from the Magic!! What a great cruise so far. The cruise is fully booked, but you would never know it (except for shows and dinner).

The weather is less than perfect (cold weather at the port, cloudy, some rain) but there is no lack of stuff to do. The cast is great and they have changed some activities to more suitable for inside versus outside.

I want to say how great the staff has been so far - and in particular the maintenance staff. We had two 'minor' things wrong with our cabin when we got on (plexiglass on verandah rattled and door handle was loose). A maintenance worker was up in a matter of minutes and fixed everything perfectly. I want to remind everyone that if you find something wrong with your cabin - report it right away. They really do want you to have a great cruise and are willing to fix any problem - no mater how small it might be.

To answer the burning question - we have not seen or heard of anyone getting sick on the cruise so far. There are some changes from our last cruise that are obviously for health concerns (sanitary wipes given out before dinner, buffets now have people putting the food on your plate, signs eveywhere telling you 'how to wash you hands'). I really appreciate them going to the extra mile to keep us healthy and to have a wonderful cruise!!

We're getting ready to watch the Superbowl now - and try to win some prizes.

have a great time! I'll be on your same cruise in exactly one year, lol. :)
 
Thx for posting! Sorry about the weather! It should warm up soon!
 
Remember John, No matter how cool it is where you are, it is warmer than home.

It should be 80° F at St Maarten on Tuesday and 81 to 86° F at St Thomas on Wednesday. Hopefully that will make up for the 59° you had at your sailaway party.
 
It is 12 degrees in northwest Indiana and we have nearly two feet of snow. ENJOY your cruise.

Thanx for the live report!

Hope your team wins - have a great evening & a steadily warmer week,

>>^..^<<
 
Hey John! :wave:

You guys have a blast and enjoy the cruise! Hope it warms up for you and go win some PRIZES! :teeth:
 
Thanks for posting John, Im on the next cruise out on 2/1 so I really will be enjoying your posts.

Have a wonderful cruise and enjoy the Beautiful Virgin Islands!

By the way just curious what cabin are you in? I will be in 7030.

"Go Raiders"! Felicia
 
:wave: Hi John,

Have a fantastic voyage.

Will be looking forward to any messages you send back to us frigid folks back on the mainland, where here in NJ we have a fresh coating of new fallen snow:mad:. I'm not a fan of snow. I like the warm weather myself:p.

Bucs are up 13-3 near the end of the 2nd quarter, GO BUCS!!! I'm only saying that because they beat myEAGLES last week.

Hoping your days are SUNNY:sunny: and WARM:sunny: !!!
 
Have a wonderful voyage and thanks for sharing it with us. Hey! Do you know Cheeseplease from these boards? He and his family are sailing with you. Give him our regards if you run into him!
 
Hi Tulirose... completely off topic but what made you turn off Survivor in Dec... ? LOL

I just saw the ads for the new one starting in a couple of weeks...

>>^..^<<
 
KittyKatSketch - To keep this thread on-topic, I sent you a PM with my answer to your Survivor question. :D
 
Thanks everyone who has replied!!

Yes, the weather is gorgeous today. Sunny and warm and the ocean is that beautiful 'caribbean blue'.

Of course my team won - Go Bucs!!! - OK, so I'm one of these folks who jumped on the bandwagon after they won the championship - but they are a Florida team so I don't feel so guilty.

The superbowl parties and watching the game on the ship was great fun!!! Super cool to watch all the folks get into it and cheer!! We wached in the Promenade Lounge and they put out snacks and we played games. It was so much fun.

We had brunch today at Palo - are you jealous yet!!!

For those of you sailing soon, keep an eye out for discounted merchandise in the shops - all 2002 merchandise is 50% off - very cool.

OK - talk to you all later.

John
 
Uh oh, looks like Actuarian forgot to log out and WebmasterJohn just posted under his name. :)

Glad it's warmed up and yes, I'm jealous, brunch at Palo sounds perfect! :sunny:
 
I was WONDERing what was going on there. I thought John was Webmaster John, that actuarian name confused me.
Thanks for letting us know about the mix up.:D
 
So which dining rooms are serving the new menus on this trip? Just wondering if they will all be replaced when we sail next week.
Thanks, hope you are having a great time!

We will be on the Magic during the next sailing!!!:wave:
