March 3,2014 Magic Bahamas cruise

[mdwoodman]

Hello, I am new to this. How do you already know your room numbers?

It depends on how you booked your cruise. When we booked, we selected a specific stateroom. Many people book "GTY" (guarantee) staterooms, which means that you are guaranteed to receive a stateroom of that level (or better). It is usually less expensive to book this way; as the cruise gets closer, many times lower category staterooms are booked up and the cruise line will only book guarantees. If they oversell in one category, then some people get some "pixie dust" and are moved up to a higher level room. Room numbers for guarantees are usually announced 10 days to two weeks before the cruise, so we're in the window now!

We have not been on a cruise since 2011.
I can't find my FE, and Im freaking out!!!
My husbands idea of helping me is to reassure me that I have not thrown it out.
Im a bit of a pack rat and he thinks he is being funny but Im not amused!
I remember putting it away with the magnets for the door, but where?

OHHH NOOOOO....
Hopefully, you will locate the missing FE very soon. You still have a week to set out the Disney Dogs for the hunt. Good luck.

Thanks for your help. I booked it online and went on and found my room number. I am in a deluxe ocean view stateroom on the 2nd deck. Is that good or should I see if I can move up?

We have sailed twice in that category and were very happy with it.
Hope you enjoy it!

We've been in that category on deck 2 once on the Magic and once on the Wonder. It's convenient to the restaurants and to the Walt Disney theater. Being lower in the ship means less motion if the ship is encountering any rough seas. Of course, it's an elevator ride (or a lot of stairs) from Cabanas, the pools, the spa, etc. On the other hand, we're pretty spoiled and always book a balcony!

One word of caution: check to see what's above your cabin on deck three. You may not want to be under the clubs if you go to bed early or under Lumiere if you like to sleep in.

I know I am! We are going to spend one night after the cruise in Disney. Can't wait to visit Epcot for the flower and garden festival. I didn't realize we would be there for that! We were able to get a room at our favorite dvc hotel villas at wilderness lodge at the last minute. So I am happy happy!

Safe travels for everyone...I know some of our group is doing a btb so they will be leaving soon.

Hi all! I was on this thread a while ago but am a newbie so need some help. Is it still possible to be added to the fish extender list? Can someone let me know how to go about doing that? We have three families traveling on the Disney cruise for the first time. Very excited!! Any help would be much appreciated

So...got cabin fever (pun intended) so just booked Mom & I last minute on the Magic 3/3 Bahama cruise. Our 1st cruise. We were already booked for the Dream on Dec 1 as our 1st cruise. Calling this our "trial run" for the girls trip in Dec.

Unfortunately could not sign us up for the Chocolatier excursion in Nassau as it appears booked.

 

[Minniemoomoo]

There is an Adult Beach Cabana available online for anyone wanting one.
Just saw it online. Good luck!

Well I have had no luck. I was going to use a fabric Disney shopping bag.
But then…. A dear friend and lover of the Mouse and all things Disney is letting me use hers!!!!!!

Thank-you KIM!! Your the best!!

Hi Kerri,

Though the official Fish Extender list is closed you can still add your information on the Google Docs page (the link is somewhere here; look back a few pages) under "extras". I'm hoping to have a few additional things for those who joined late as are others I'm sure.
Sorry I hadn't gotten back to you earlier. It's been unbelievably hectic around here these past weeks and where is usually check this page out a couple of times a day I've only been on once in two weeks and from my phone (awkward!).

I hope all goes well with you pre-cruise preparations. See you next week

Well hope everyone has safe travels! We are heading out Sunday morning. Hope to get out before the ice storm. Praying for no delays. Hope everyone likes the FE gifts we give. Ours do not have our name on, but have instructions with it. See you all very soon!

Hi friends! I just found this page this morning. We're leaving tomorrow to join this cruise! We are first timers... can you tell? We're from Louisiana escaping Mardi Gras like many others of you!.. See you very soon...

I was hoping to reserve a spa slot and a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique slot for my DS this morning. It looks like we're too late for that. It seems like it must all be done 48 hours before embarkation. I guess I'll have to do it all on board (if there's anything left). Shucks! I'm sure there will be plenty of other fun things to do if we don't get these options!

Welcome! See you in a couple of days.

Some of us are getting together for a meet 'n greet at the Promenade Lounge around 3 pm (although my family won't make it until about 3:30) on Monday. Hope to see you there!

 

[wld4mky]

We left Ontario at 2 am this am. Arrived in Walterboro at 4:30. Clear sailing no bad weather. My husband says we are 6 hours away from Port Canaveral.
Hope everyone has a safe trip. Soon we will all be sailing to paradise!!!

 

[Minniemoomoo]

Thanks everyone for the magical FE gifts! Our whole family was so excited to walk down the hall and see what talents lay inside. Thank you for taking the time to make this a very special cruise for them and for us!!! Until next cruise, stay calm and cruise on.

 

[Docvaden]

Thx for all the great FE gifts!! It added a bit of fun and extra magic and my little one looked forward to it everyday! Unfortunately we all got a touch sea sick that first night and went to bed early, but overall had a blast and we are super thankful to have been a part of this great group!! Can't wait till next time!!

 

[Cajun Princess]
