May 25, 2012 - Magical 8-night cruise - NYC to the Bahamas!

[padalyn]

Okie dokie peoples....

Is the FE exchange all closed up, may I finish my gifts?

Yep - I have been waiting for DJM24309 (DeAna) to respond with a cabin number - I have tried PM and general posting without success...

so I am deleting her the list will be locked as of now

Thanks for the reminder!

Hear Ye Hear Ye -
The FE list is officially closed.

ok, now I am done yelling...
final count:

16 cabins
35 adults
21 children

does anyone need me to break down gender or age bracket?

Cayla

All is good with me, gender or age, whichever you prefer.

I didn't mean to rush you and get it closed, was just curious where we stood.
I am sad now that DJM wasn't able to get involved.

Well - if she answers the last PM, I can put her as a last minute add. I also am saddened that she chose to not participate. I also checked the members of the FB page - she isn't listed their either. I have a feeling she bailed.

You didn't rush me at all - I was remiss in not paying attention to the date. I have been rushing around like a lunatic getting ready for my first of 5 trips...we are all good!

I will play with the doc a little and create a little bit of a sort so folks can see the divisions etc.

We may have waited until the last minute but, we booked yesterday and will be sailing on Disney Magic departing NY on May 25th.
It will be our first ever cruise.
We are So excited about it.

youthfulwarriormom - congrats on booking!

Ge0rgette I was going to ask about DeAna as well, as noticed there was no cabin number. Shame she never replied to pm's or anything.

I am getting so excited now, I just can't wait! Am making plans for what we're going to do in New York for our 4 days aftewards as well. Already made reservations for the world trade memorial. Also want to go to the Police Museum being a police officer.

Well said!~

I was just looking at some of the in-gift ideas for the staterooms, I think
the only thing that I'm ordering right now is the beer mug for hubbie.

I'd like to get Sean something for his 21st, but he's not a drinking, well that I know of! LOL

$50.00 for a birthday banner, hmm, nah! I'll pass.

Patti got me looking!

Question for the repeat cruisers - Palo was available for dinner the 2nd night which is also formal night. I booked an 8:30pm. Good decision or not? I was thinking that there might be a reason there were still reservations available.

@Cayla - Thanks again for taking charge of the FE list. I think it will be alot of fun for my kids! And what is the name of the FB page?

 

[ge0rgette2]

Thanks! I put in my request to join. So funny - I see you went to MacArthur. I went to Division. And there's another member of the group who shares a FB friend with me. I figure we will see someone we know when we get on the boat just b/c we're local.

Hi!!!

Yup Mac was my HS. Im old, lol, 1985 grad

What about you? I used to hang out with people from Divison.

Hi everyone

I'm here in Toms River, NJ! I love spending time with my sister and niece and great-niece. And of course it's good to be back in the Garden State.

Hear Ye Hear Ye -

Thanks, Cayla! It would be helpful to have the age/gender breakdown, but you have a lot going on, so don't feel obligated.

We may have waited until the last minute but, we booked yesterday and will be sailing on Disney Magic departing NY on May 25th.
It will be our first ever cruise.
We are So excited about it.

Welcome aboard!

I keep checking out the in-room gift ideas, too. LOL I've already ordered the itinerary-specific t-shirts for DH and I, and I ordered the NYC-Bahamas baseball cap for him, too. I'm considering ordering champagne to be waiting in our cabin for embarkation day.

Question for the repeat cruisers - Palo was available for dinner the 2nd night which is also formal night. I booked an 8:30pm. Good decision or not? I was thinking that there might be a reason there were still reservations available.

I think that people might've chosen other nights for Palo so that they wouldn't miss formal night in the main dining rooms. I chose Palo dinner for our Castaway Cay night. If my son's girlfriend wasn't new to Disney cruising I might've chosen formal night to go to Palo but we want her to experience as many different things as she can. I don't think it's a bad idea to go to Palo on formal night.

Class of '92. I don't know anyone from MacArthur - I pretty much hung out with my Division friends.

Thanks for the reply. I think we will stick with it since we have no choice if we want to eat at Palo. I originally didn't care either way but it seems like you should eat there if you can. So we will

Yay, they just opened it up to travel agents so we are on!!
Me, DH, DD (6), and DS (5). Anyone from Bergen County? We are very excited, the last cruise was on the MAGIC in 2010.
