Hi Marcums, this is the Macoms answering LOL

Anyway, I think the last time we cruised on the Magic it was 12. I was very hesitant and gave our son a walkie talkie - if only he'd used it. We lost track of him once when he ditched me to go play black light dodgeball when I thought we had a date to see a movie. I was freaking out since the counselors for his age group didn't require that the kids tell them where they are going.

Our DDs on this cruise will both be 9 and they will not be checking themselves in and out of anywhere. Now that our DS is 14 he can but he's going to have the phone which wasn't an option on the Magic 2 years ago. Bottom line, it's up to you if you want the older kids to have the option or not.

OK, I know there's only 2 weeks to go so you can tell me to shut up if you want to, but would it be worthwhile to have a "Kid's Corner" at the Meet & Greet for the kids to get to meet up front? I know there's been a lot of talk here and there on the board about getting specific kids introduced, but should we make it more formal? I'm not sure if we would want to go as far as activities like the bingo cards where you have to find other kids that meet a square's info (plays soccer, has a dog, has been to DL, first cruise, etc).

And then there's the part where I just throw this out there and see if anyone catches it . . .

I love this idea! How awesome. This would be so great for my very shy, shy daughter!

On DCL website, it shows extension cords as a prohibited item. Would DCL consider a power strip the same as extension cord?

Uh. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission......

Any boys around 13 or 14 years old? My son will be looking for boys to hang with!

 

[PixiePrincess310]

Ok I have to apologize. Who asked me what size the cheer uniform is that I'd be more than happy to give away? My DD is 9 and it is a Youth Large. I took the top in a bit. Your 6 year old could always grow in to it.

Howdy Macoms. Thanks for the reply. I think I decided to give them both privileges but to tell them it is for signing in only and can only sign out if giving us a call first to tell us exactly when they are leaving to come to the room or meet us somewhere. But still not sure. We are lucky they have each other and love being together. They are best friends.

Any other 9 to 11 year old boys on board. Seems I am reading mostly girls in our group. My boys will be sad. They are not at the age yet that mostly girls in a group is a good thing.

Hey Allie,

My son is 13. I'm not sure if the boys have ever met but I do think Jazzy has met your girls before. Looking forward to all of them entertaining each other for a week!

My son will turn 11 on CC day.

who finally booked our rental car for 2 weeks for the price of disney round trip transportation....costco has a good deal right now with Budget if you are a member.....

What a great way to spend a birthday! My DH turns 38 on first sea day. We are celebrating with dinner in remys.

My 10 year old turn 11 in July. Will your son be in edge or oceaneers clubs?

I think we are going to see if they allow him in Edge, but as a surprise I have booked his older brother whos 26 and his family on the cruise so I really don't know if he will actually go to the clubs much. We don't get to see them often so he may be glued to his brother. I had no idea when I booked that his birthday would fall on CC day and I'm kind of jealous!

Awesome idea!! DD2 and 3 are pretty outgoing and talkative. DD1 is more on the shy side so this will be a good way for all of them to meet other kids. It will be nice for them to make some friends on the cruise. With all three of them being so close in age, it seems like they always do things together so maybe they can each meet a couple friends to do things with. They are known as "the girls" to everyone because they do so much together.

I'd volunteer to create a game or something but since this is our first cruise I'm going to pass. I just need to get through the next two weeks of stress and packing, then relax.

 

[kirkaliciasmom]

LOL! Yea he's 10, this will be his 10th cruise overall, he has such a rough life!

Sounds like such a rough life to me too...

 

[MountainLaurel]

If it's not too late, my husband and my dad would like to do the mixology session. That's Dan from 7578 and Bill from 7580.

Also, I like the Kids' Corner idea. Since my DD9 is an only child, and a little shy in new situations, I am hoping she will hit it off with someone.

Just pathetic isn't it lol!

 

[bamafans1]

Just a reminder that I am missing a few people who still need to PM me with their first and last names and stateroom # for the mixology class. With our numbers we will probably be getting our own bar for the occasion.

We would love to join the mixology class. Is it too late?

[NickyDa]

Hired! Great pix. So is he giving the "Fantasia Amigos" photography seminar?

LOL!! His reply: (1) Point. (2) Shoot. (3) Everyone gets an 'A' for effort. He's not a very good teacher

Great! I have you on the list. I have also PM'd a couple others.
If anyone else would like to be added to our mixology tasting then please let me know by Wed at the latest. I am sending in our final list of names. If you want to be added after that then you will have to do it on embarkation day and just let them know the date and time for our group. I will have the final list of names posted on Monday.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL!
