Day 6 - At Sea
Rick and I started our day before sunrise again. We ate at Topsider's as usual. I am hooked on the omelette's. I want to also add that I had a pastry from Goofy's Galley before Topsider's opened, and they were delicious. They were fresh and still warm.

I decided to hang out at the Adult pool for a little while and ended up taking a much needed nap in the lounge chair. I met up with Deanna (Buckifan), Rob (Hang on Sloopy), Bob (Goofydrivesacar), Katie (Larue), Chris (AWOLTODAY), and Tenna (Choc Marg) We watched the kids swimming in the Goofy pool and sat around talking.

I went to Topsider's alone for lunch and had a delicious salad that I added shrimp and scallops to.The thing that is great on The Disney Magic is I never felt out of place or odd eating by myself. It was nice just watching all of the different people around me.

I met up with Ginger at the Adult pool. We sat in the jacuzzi and chatted for a while. A Cast Member Announced that Pool games were starting, I reluctantly let Ginger talk me in to participating. We had 8 Men against 8 Women. The CM threw 8 blue coins (Men) and 8 red coins (Women) in the same area of the pool. The object was to dive under the water and retrieve the most coins. I am an excellent swimmer, so I was thinking , No problem. WRONG!!!! I got kicked in the head and shoved from every direction. I still brought up 4 red coins. Just as I was diving down again I got head butted and started bleeding. My head was throbbing and everyone was staring at me. I was soooo embarrased They brought me over some band-aids and continued the game. We LOST!!!! Oh well, I didn't need a medal on a ribbon anyway. Lesson: This was an accident waiting to happen, and it did, Too many people going underwater at the same time.

It was time to get ready for Dinner so Rick and I spruced up for a Semi-Formal evening. Tonight I had Lobster and a side of past with chicken. Everything was delicious.

We were invited to the SUITE again, and Bob once again played Bartender. We had a great time and were joined by Deanna and Rob. Rick and I made plans to join all of them and their Families on Castaway Cay Tomorrow.

Katie, Tenna, Deanna, Rick, and I decided tp go th the Adult show featuring Taylor Mason. The show was funny and lasted about 25 minutes. 70's Night followed so we stayed and watched as everyone Boogied Down. They Picked 3 ladies to impersonate Gloria Gaynor singing "I Will Survive. They have done this on every cruise ship I have sailed on ( Disney, Carnival. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Celebrity) It is basically the same routine, but is is still funny each time. They Picked 3 Men to Impersonate John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever." and last but not least they brought out "The Village People."

Back to room 5009 to plop into bed.

Day-7 Castaway Cay

It was the best of day's. It was the worst of day's. Best, because Castaway Cay is awesome !! Worst, because this is the last day of the cruise

Rick and I started our day in Topsider's for the last time. Then we went to watch the Ship as we were docking at Castaway Cay. Once you finally get a view of Castaway Cay, you know you have found Nirvana.

Rick and I were lined up behind the rope on deck 2 separating us from our perfect spot, along with about 50 other hopefuls. As soon as the rope came down we were off! About 20 minute's later, and a mile hike, we had found the Perfect spot Ok, we hadn't. Bob, (Goofydrivesacar) and Chris, (AWOLTODAY) told us where to meet them. Great job Guy's. It was overcast and was sprinkling a little, but we still had a great day. I had a great time talking with Tenna (Choc Marg), Katie (Larue), and Deanna (Buckifan). The water was a little cool, but felt great.

Did I mention the Konk Kooler's ? They were fabulous! I had to have a few even though it wasn't even noon yet, but hey, this is vacation.

Us Girl's all went to Cookie's BBQ to get some lunch to bring back to the beach. There was bbq ribs, corn on the cob, grilled chicken, hamburger's. hotdogs, coleslaw, 3 bean salad, potato salad, baked beans,fruit, Banana bread cookies, and some other foods to choose from. Everything I choose was good.

Rick decided to go back to the Ship, but I decided to stay at the beach for a while longer. I played in the water for a while and had one more Konk Kooler before heading back. I decided to skip the tram and walk so that I could take some picture's and enjoy the Island for a few more moments.

The Dinner menu tonight was "Till We Meet Again." The food was good and the company even better. The last night to me is alway's a weepy time. You are saying goodbye to Tablemate's who have become FRIENDS! You are thanking (tipping) your Waiter's for a job well done. and worst of all, You still have to PACK!

The show tonight was "Remember The Magic". Once again the tears start to flow. Deanna and Rob were seated in front of us, so we say our goodbye's. We go back to our room to put our suitcases in the hall. We check to make sure we have our declaration form filled out, and our passports ready, and we call it a night.

MIDNIGHT!! I wake up to the clanging of hanger's and the safe door opening and shutting. I try to walk to the bathroom, and realize I can't stand up. We are in ROUGH seas. I turn on the t.v. to find we have gale force winds and 13 ft. waves. I wake Rick up to see if he feels the waves as bad as I do. I guess he is fine because he falls back asleep. After several sleepless hours I finally give in to sleep.

Day 4 St. Maarten

We woke up early again this Morning and went up to Topsider's for Breakfast. I had a fresh made to order omelette again, this is the way to go, and they bring it to your table.

Loved the breakfast buffet! Was making the kids some dinner the other night, one of those whatever you want deals. They chose eggs, bacon, bagels, etc. I suddenly realized I was missing the made to order omelette, 20lbs of bacon, hash browns, fresh fruit, sausage, OJ, waffles. Every day. Beats the heck out of a breakfast bar and pop as I run off to work. I know some people don't like the buffets. But man I could stay at that breakfast buffet all day. I think I need to get out a little more.

Rob,

Debarkation- Better known as

We woke up to the stillness of the Ship and the realization that Our Magical cruise was over. We got our carry-ons and went to deck 4 to watch as all of the lugguage was being taken off. Around 7:45 we saw People leaving the Ship. They had not announced the all-clear yet, but we decided to see if we could leave. Imagine our suprise when there was NO LINE to get off. WE walked right off, collected our lugguage, got a Porter, and were through Customs and in the parking lot a few minutes before 8:00.

We had left our car at the Radisson (Free parking) and were happy to see the Radisson shuttle pulling up just as we were tipping out Porter. We were back at the Radisson and on our way home in 10 minutes.

We had a peaceful drive home and recounted our cruise all the way home to South Carolina.

We just got back last Saturday, 11.11.06. We spent another week in Disneyworld & Universal. We were exhausted but had a great time.

It was nice meeting you. We did not rebook onboard but planning to go either July or December 2008. Have to wait.
