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

[HBEIC5A]

OMG!!!! 3 weeks 4 days!!!!!!!!!!!!

The long long long term forecast.....

Does anyone know when the Disney Magic is pulling in to port?? I believe we are the first ever cruise out of NYC

 

[ge0rgette2]

We are the first....

Today is thunderstorms and rain... eeek!!

Hopefully the end of the month will bring SUNSHINE!

Weather looks ok to me, but then I'm from rainy England!

 

[StephBee]

I would love for the weather to be nice for our departure out of NYC, the day in Magic Kingdom, and Castaway Cay. Is that too much to ask, lol?!?


SeaSpray--finally heard back from my family and all 12 of us will be there!! We have a 13th, but she won't be boarding until we are in Nassau. There will be 7 adults and 5 kids. If you don't have enough leis, just the adults would be fine. Or, if others would like them...we can share. Thanks again and sorry for the late response!!


Also, does everyone know about bringing a pillowcase (or something else) and handing it in to Guest Services? From the other posts that I have read, you will get your pillowcase (or other item) signed by all of the characters and delivered to your room on the last night! You also need to give them permanent fabric markers and a ziploc bag. Sounds like they would also appreciate some candy or another small token of gratitude.

We did this last year with pillowcases and it made a really nice keepsake.

I haven't heard from the TA yet about picking up cruise documents so I'm assuming they aren't in yet. When can I expect these? Has anyone else gotten them?

I am doing the Pillowcase for Caitlin... I have fabric pastels, but going to get some fabric markers.. I had them laying around, but can't find them.. Crayola makes them and they aren't expensive.

Thought it would be a great thing for Caitlin.

Off to drop her off..

We just booked on Tuesday!!! Kids don't know we are going. Not telling them until they see the ship. If there is still room, there will be four of us. Thanks.

 

[tsarina13]

We just booked last week. We were originally booked on the Aug 5th 5N to Canada, but when I told my mother the temperatures for Halifax in August she said "And I AGREED to that?" And since the school gave us the entire week of Memorial week off since we didn't use any snow days, I switched!

We booked an IGT. We've sailed on the Magic before and don't mind inside cabins too much. Anyone book one of the guarantees? I'm starting to check every day to see if our rooms have been assigned yet. Anyone get their guarantee stateroom assignment?

For this cruise, it will be:

Me the Mommy
Daughter age 9
Grandmom (she just survived a heart attack in the fall, and turned 70 in April, and this is how we're going to celebrate!)

We're making T-shirts that have "Out to Sea...Just Us Three" on it for boarding day.

Can't wait for 4 sea days! Most other cruises prefer the island hopping, but our favorite has always been our relaxing at-sea days.

Kids don't know we are going. Not telling them until they see the ship.

We are doing the same except we're having Ariel & Mickey tell them the night before by telephone call. They may not sleep at all!
