March 8, 2015 - Magic - Western Caribbean (Jamaica)

[KaryCam]

Hello I just put in a request to my TA to change to this cruise! KaryCam, I knew your name looked familiar and then saw that we were on the same cruise as you Spring Break 2015!

Carmie,
Nice to see you again.
I thought I was going to have to write to myself again in 2 days and say 9 months until. LOL

We are celebrating too on this cruise - our anniversary. Oh, I have a Cameron too, DS who will be 15 by then.

I love being part of the FE. They are fun. I pass mine out by zones early in the morning over a few days. No problem. If you want to head it up, be my guest.

Glad you are joining this cruise! And yes, DCL is just wonderful!

I'll pop in every once in awhile to make sure you don't have to talk to yourself

I was wondering if that is what Cam was in your name. We call ours Cam and ever more so is CamBam. When he was 2 or 3 my MIL said he was like BamBam from the Flintstones so CamBam started, lol

I will definitely head up the FE! Anyone interested please PM the following:
Names, ages of children, gender of children, favorite characters, celebrations, and anything else we should know (allergies, no alcohol, diabetes, ect. Anything that you think might help the gift givers).

Hi! I just received my confirmation email from my TA this morning! yay. I'm so excited. I just found the boards here and can't wait to start researching some excursions and other fun things.

This will be my family's first cruise (ever ) and we're looking forward to it, though slightly intimidated. We've been to DW & DL a few times each so thought it time to do a cruise. My kids will be 10 (son - almost 11) and 8 (daughter) at time of cruise. They are REALLY looking forward to the new Marvel club!!!!! I wish I could do it too. LOL I've been reading about fish extenders and we're interested in participating.

I'd love to know about dolphin encounters. I think there's one in Cozumel & one in Cayman Islands. Anyone done one and recommend one over the other?

We've never done a dolphin encounter and never will. DD had her heart set on it a few years ago until she watched "The Cove". She decided right then that the only place for her to encounter dolphins would be in the wild.

But.. if you want to do one, I believe there are quite a few threads on the main cruise thread regarding the different dolphin excursions. Or after activity picks up here some others might chime in about it.

For those interested in excursions in Jamaica, I found this thread on DisBoards you might want o subscribe to.

Good Morning!
Just 8 months from today will be the start of our cruise.
It seems so far away but time does have a way of flying by quickly. Too quickly it seems in how fast our children are growing up.
Looking forward to meeting you all.

 

[KaryCam]

Good Morning!!
Only 7 months from today we will be starting our cruise.
For us, school and my work start on Aug. 18. Once that gets started, time will go by more quickly.
Hope everyone has had a wonderful summer.

On my past cruises, some of the people were interested in having a private class for our Meet Group for a Tasting on board. Not sure who they contacted, but I think it required 20 or 25 people to sign up. Maybe someone who is interested in this could find out more.

Below is a list of Tastings I have heard of, there might be more (or less) and the prices I think they are:
Beer - $15
Tequila & Margarita - $15
Champagne - $30
Wine & chocolate - $30
Mixology - $15
Cognac - $20
Martini - $15
Wine - $15

Carmie3377 is in charge of the FE for this cruise.
You can PM her. I believe her last post here is on the second page.

If you are part of the FE for our cruise, she will let you know who else is on it.

Are you booked for this cruise?

YES!! we are booked for the Disney Magic (cruise date March 8,2015). Never been on a cruise, but have heard DISNEY is the way to go! My family is super excited and we want a full experience. Im not sure how to PM anyone on here, can you help me out with that? I am hoping everyone can give me some tips and tricks to make this THE BEST vacation EVER!! Thanks!!

Hello I just put in a request to my TA to change to this cruise! KaryCam, I knew your name looked familiar and then saw that we were on the same cruise as you Spring Break 2015!

Anyway... we were scheduled on a NCL cruise for this week. But after returning from our NCL cruise to Alaska last week, we decided we should stick with Disney if Disney is available. Not that NCL was terrible, it wasn't. But it wasn't Disney! All 4 of us agreed that the Disney Cruise experience was just so much better! Better food, better entertainment, nicer staff, and not to mention a much prettier ship

Both of my kids are celebrating birthdays that week. Cameron will turn 9 on March 12 and Haley 16 on March 13. She will be bringing a friend with her that has never cruised DCL before. She is in for a real treat!!!

We are interested in a FE whenever one gets started up. I'll be more than happy to lead if someone else hasn't started one. I'm also interested in a FB group if more are too.

My family wants in on the Fish Extenders!! Let me know what I need to do for that. Thanks!

I was wondering what the FB page is called, would love to visit that as well. Im not sure how to PM anyone on here, can you help me out with that?

Welcome!
We can tell you what we know but my best advice is to read the DisBoards. There is so much information here.
From what I understand, you can't get or receive PM until you have posted 10 times. So look around the Boards and ask questions.

How many kids do you have? Where are you from?

Hi! Yes, once you get 10 posts, send me a PM and I'll get your info added. We need cabin number, names of participants, favorite character, allergies we should be aware of, any celebrations, and anything else that might be helpful (such as no gum due to braces, no alcohol, ect)

And welcome aboard!

Wow! so much information!!! I am from Iowa and have 2 kids (both girls). I have a 10 year old and a 4 year old. We are cruising with family, and my niece will be 6 at the time of the cruise and my nephew will be 3. They also want in on the FE's. We are all SUPER EXCITED!! Thanks for all your help!

 

[KaryCam]
