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

[twinmomri]

Okay I am booked and in. Can't wait to see everyone.

Has anyone figured out the show rotation? The only thing left for booking Palos is first night. I am thinking of taking it because the first night is hubby's b-day.

Excursions: I can't book the sea lion encounter for my twins but I can book the dolphin encounter. Anyone know why? Maybe if I book directly through Blue lagoon instead of Disney. They are 6 years old.

Is there a age restriction on the sea lions? I thought I read that once. We did the dolphins with our twins at blue lagoon and they loved it! I also know that you can't book direct with blue lagoon as they have a contract with Disney to only sell via their excursion!

I just noticed on the DCL web site that the minimum age for the Sea lion encounter is 8 years old, which is why you can't book it for your twin 6yr olds.

And directly from the Dolphin Encounter web site, restrictions for the sea lion encounter program:

Rules and Restrictions for Sea Lion Encounter Program
•Guests 8 years and older OR 48 inches tall may participate in the Sea Lion Encounter.
•Guests ages 8 to 12 must be accompanied by a responsible, paying adult with a ticket for the Sea Lion Encounter.
•Pregnant women are not allowed in this program.
•Guests must have the ability to go up and down steps and ramp to access the platform.
•We are not able to accommodate handicapped persons in the Sea Lion Encounter.
•No cameras allowed in the Sea Lion Encounter program.
•All other general Dolphin Encounters policies apply for the Sea Lion Encounter.

Haven't checked on here in about a week, oops!

SeaSpray, we would love leis please? We are a family of 3.

Can anyone give me any predictions weatherwise, in particular for New York after the cruise (am presuming Florida and the other ports are going to be hot!)? Need to know what to pack for our 4 night stay in afternoon. Here in England the weather is thoroughly miserable, and due to rain solid for the next 3 days (but we are apparently in a drought and have hosepipe bans, but hey ho!).

mmouse37 thanks for making such nice comments about England. It is a beautiful country, despite the lousy weather we get most of the time! I love it too, although I do like to travel to other countries whenever I can. I can't imagine living anywhere else though.

 

[padalyn]

I made a typo...please change the cabin number of drparoo to 8030~~~


NYC weather - can be finicky - I suggest you bring a windbreaker and sweatshirt - this way you can layer!

I've added you to the list. Regarding weather, my birthday is the end of May and I grew up a half hour south of NYC, and many years it was warm enough to swim in our backyard pool on my birthday. Some years it was too cool though. Hopefully we'll have good weather for our Sail Away!

sorry folks - Seems I made an error...back when I "deleted" DeAna I actually had just moved her to the bottom of the list in hopes she would reappear. This caused the count to be off - Thanks to those who pointed it out to me! Then I realized I had counted an "adult child" in the childrens list in error...all have been fixed. I hope this doesn't mess anyone up - my apologies!

Cayla

Final (yea - really final!) count:
34 adults
20 children (10 of each type!)

Sorry again.

Hi everyone!!!

4 weeks from right now we'll be at the hotel the night before the cruise, anticipating boarding the Magic the next morning!!!!

I've gotten everything that I need for my FE gifts all settled, too. Finally. LOL I feel very relieved.

Oh, and regarding the lime green leis, I've ordered many more than what will be needed for those who have posted that they'd like one. So please don't be shy to post if you still want one! It's not too late. At this point I have around 20-25 more leis that are just waiting to be accounted for.
