Magical Oct 4, 2014 Southern Caribbean

So how are *you* going to top this next time, huh? You going to book the Captain's cabin? The bridge perhaps? Or maybe just charter the whole ship??

Seriously, sounds like you're going to have an absolute blast!!

Lol! I know... I'm secretly worried this will spoil us forever. But I couldn't let a great deal pass us by! We are so excited. My husband said he doesn't think we are fancy enough lol.

Eta: I saw the Magic prices for the 9 night Venice cruise royal suite was I think either at or above 30k. we paid less then 10. I think its a great deal from that perspective lol. I just can't let myself think we could almost buy a new car for that....

I am delighted to be doing this cruise with you all! I am still in denial that we don't have another cruise booked before this one, but there are other places to go and things to do...right?

I am firmly in the "there can't be too many sea days" camp after our December EBPC trip and the idea of five ports in five days is a bit terrifying, but I guess I'll just have to train for it!

So far it will be my DH Alan, myself, Mary Lou and our DS Liam, who will be 11 (OMG, how can that be true!!!) I really wish our oldest could join us, but I'm pretty sure he'll be bitterly reading our FB updates from college!!!

Just called to cancel my other 3 cruises (we had connecting rooms on a back to back) since we traded in that cruise for this one, obv keeping one cabin and modifying it to keep our onboard credit. I rolled over all my deposits and upgraded on this cruise!

We are now in the.....Walt Disney suite!!!!

Congrats !

Hi guys
I am hoping my family will also be joining you in the southern caribbean. My friend is on the Magic now out of Galveston and she has my deposit to book this cruise for me. She cant book it until tomorrow, so I am patiently waiting !

It will be me, dh and my 2 dd's, Sophia and Gabrielle 8 and 15. I have never cruised to these islands so we are very excited!!!

Yes my friend, we are in sync . I took the dummies they booked me and quickly got us onboard this sailing!!!! .

Btw I am joining this thread, it is me(Michelle), Dh Del, Dd Sydney( 14 at cruise time), & Dd Nelia (10 at cruise time). This will be our7th cruise. Just got off the gorgeous Magic. Was very sad departure. Myself and my Dd's were in years leaving my nephew who performs onboard & our friends were in tears leaving their server,who had been their server every sailing of theirs. So on the plane now,flying home. Love in flight WiFi!!!!!!! We will be joining the FE

Glad you're back and that you had an amazing time. But then again, it's hard to have a bad time with Disney!!

Robin and I take our kids out. Family time is important.

That would be us!

I did notice that on the other southern threads there are mainly adults going. Sophie will be glad there is another girl around her age on this cruise. She will be 8 at cruise time.

I am so excited for this cruise!! I keep trying to talk to my husband about it, but he keeps saying to me "Really?! You wanna talk about Fish extender gifts now when we still have 2 years to go??!!" Umm....YEAH!!!

Atleast I have the DIS!

My DD will be 9 she is super shy at first with people and will be so glad to have someone her own age onboard!

As for FE, I've only done it my first cruise. My 2nd cruise I joined the party late as we booked late and our last cruise I had too much going on to think of participating (my husband and I got married in Hawaii -kid and guest free- then flew to DL where my best friend flew and met us with my kids, we did the parks, then the cruise, then more parks lol). I'm excited to join in this time!

Is that one of your wedding pictures from DL as your avatar? Very cute

 

[lilpooh108]

We're booked...and hopefully we'll keep this cruise

It will be me, DH, and my daughters age 5 and 2.5. Hopefully there are other little girls so that we can do a preschool play group My 5YO's assigned school is "year round" so this will be during her fall break. Our school district does not allow long vacations during school or independent study contracts so we're stuck with their schedule.

Will definitely do the FE exchange since it's a relatively "short" flight.

It was a shot from our honeymoon pics yes we did a family shoot in Sep too there that was so much fun!

We were also on the EBPC in December. My dh & dd really enjoy relaxing on sea days, and I love to check out new ports, so I guess it's my turn to have a port intensive cruise on the southern Caribbean.

My dd will be 16 when we cruise (sounds so far away), so if any teen girls want to correspond with her to become acquainted before the cruise, please PM me.

Yay Michelle! She did an amazing job with our December cruise web page

I forgot to say that my family would be interested in doing the FE.

That's great! We just booked the Roy Disney Suite.

We are Paul 49, DW Candace 40 and DD Birdie 4. This will be our third Disney cruise.

There are a few families from the Sept. 8, 2012 Fantasy booked on this cruise as well.

Looks like a great time!
