I hope they use all the time planned for drydock next time around because they had so many problems with the ship not being truly ready (up to Disney standards) because they cut the drydock short.
The SV rooms do not have a solid wall with the porthole. Those are the navigator verandahs. The 4 secret verandah rooms are known as such because they are a regular verandah with a slight obstruction. Because of the obstruction they are classified as a cat 7 along with the navigators instead of being a 5 or a 6. 
I'm pretty sure Nenner posted the pics earlier in our thread. Way back in the day (October). 
Yes, it's the first sailing from the westbound TA and first sailing out of dry dock.
Hey all,
We are the first cruise out of drydock and the first cruise post Europe. The Magic is heading straight from Europe to drydock. Of Course with the last drydock they added an extra sailing before and after drydock. Our last cruise was supposed to be the first out of the most recent drydock, but they snuck in a 3 nighter right before us.
. We broke the LCD and the ooze is slowly creeping over my screen so it has to go in for repair. I won't be able to check in for a few weeks, but Ron will still follow along from work. 
Our room had a big ol plaster spot on the wall that had been there since before 2006 according to the stateroom report. Of course that was the room we ended up in, not the room we were supposed to be in, which is an entirely other story! 
Hey guys just checking in to say hey!
Our laptop is busted...again.....
Dry dock, yes...we were a bit skeptical to find out about that dry dock right before this cruise. Our last one didn't go so great...even though we were on the second cruise after dry dock. I would just say expect the worst and maybe we will be pleasantly surprised. I know the Magic will be sorely in need of some attention by then, the staterooms did not even get any updates to them (except for the TV's) on the last dry dock. Not even new linens.
So, everyone have a great weekend! See ya real soon, I hope.

We were the next cruise after the special cruise... Things were not really up to par yet. Long list of things!
But I'll only bore you with a few. The Mickey pool was being repaired more often than it was open. The new splash zone for the tots was still being constructed. They would open it a few times during the cruise but most of the time they were working on it (By the time we were leaving the ship it was about done and it looked great.). CMs were also painting on deck a lot more than usual. I know they do this all the time, but on this cruise it was easily 2 to 3 times as much as usual (fumes were bad!). They were still busy installing new carpet and it had a bad smell from the glue. 
Very long story with the room...
We were originally booked in 2 rooms directly across the hall from each other. Two days before our cruise I noticed on our on line reservation info that one of our room numbers had changed. 
I had to call DCL and our travel agent and after going back and forth with both several times 
found out that our original room was in need of repair. When we got on board we noticed the the room obviously had a plumbing issue because the floor outside that room (the hallway between that room and our inside cabin.) were constantly wet and stinky. There were constantly CMs shuttling in and out of that room. When the door was open I noticed all the furniture was up off the floor. Now if they had stayed in drydock as long as originally scheduled they could have fixed this problem before they set sail and had to inconvenience anyone.
Well I know i am crazy BUT!!!! i also know that the next 6 months or so are going to be crazy for us what with looking for a house and then moving uuugh.........
I am starting to think about clothes and if i am going to make them this time around or purhase them. And if i am going to make anything i need to get it going.
I guess i will start witht he PJs i didnt get finished last time around. Although i am thing of just making robes instead since we will be crossing halways this time to get bak and forth to other room. A nice Mickey print robe would be nice for me.
Also thinking about Pirate Night.....I think we are just going to do t shirts with a pirate theme and jeans and flip flops so i may get started on those too!!!
Well i gotta go to a Gm meeting .........R you guys even out there some days i feel like i am talking to myself!!!!!!!!!
