November 8th Sailing of the Magic News!!

Others may disagree but....as long as I don't miss Castaway Cay, I'm good to go. I know there are folks that have done Western and may want a change but I think I'd just be happy to be on board.

I think they went to Castaway Cay on the first stop, and will be going again on the last stop, an unscheduled double dip.......

The Nov 8th cruise went like this:

Sunday - Castaway Cay
Monday - At Sea
Tuesday - Cozumel
Wednesday - Costa Maya
Thursday - At Sea with a stop offshore Key West for a medical emergency
Friday - Castaway Cay

Very few people onboard were happy with the change in itinerary, most more than a little annoyed. But unlike other times I've heard about, I saw no bad behavior as a result.

As much as we'd like to think that DCL controls the weather, they don't and mother nature happens! I hope these people who were upset, understand that sometimes itineraries have to be changed and they should make the most of it.

Hope you had a great cruise Mozart, looking forward to reading your report.

Yes I do agree some times they need to change but this storm was closer to the ship when it changed to the western then it would have been if it went on its true eastern. In my opinion alot of people did feel it was a bad call on the Captains part. It was still a Disney cruise so most of the time I could look by this call and still have a great time.

Thanks OP! Since I happen to know one of those people in real life, I just spoke to her at the Radisson and she will let anyone else in their DIS group that she runs into know about the change.

As an aside, here's a DIS story on how I met above mentioned person: We ran into each other on a totally random Disney Cruise thread (not a cruise meet one) and in a strange series of events found that not only do we live within a half hour of each other, we went to grade school together for four years 2,000 miles away from here! Only on the DIS!

Yeah Melissa and thanks!!!!!!! as I told Melissa, I was the hottest ticket at the Radisson since I knew the scoop. But it changed a little the next day as Mozart said. And I think the Captain did a fine job keeping us on calm seas. The weather was perfect. Couldn't have been better. And it was a little upsetting to do research on a specific place only to go to another but heck, it happens. The excursions desk was full of helpful cast memebers armed with info. My daughter got an unplanned swim with the dolphins. She was happy with that! I had a great time and I am sure most of the Dis'ers did too!

This was our first ever cruise, so we had no problem with the change. I saw absolutely no rude behavior on board about the change and everyone seemed to have a great time, but I don't really have anything to compare it to. The crew was incredible!
