I'm only up to your 5th post so far, but I wanted to jump in and say thanks for sharing. It's such an enjoyable read and your photos are fantastic.

Thank you! Most photos were taken using a Canon 5D Mark II with a 16-35mm f/2.8 lens. I think we used the 70-200mm f/2.8L lens for a few of them.

All of the underwater photos were taken using a Canon D20

I'm only up to your 5th post so far, but I wanted to jump in and say thanks for sharing. It's such an enjoyable read and your photos are fantastic.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I love blogging about our cruises.

Truly awesome photos. Just up to 5th post but would be interested on your take of the classic vs new ships.

Thank you! Ya know, I really did love our cruise on the Disney Magic. The newer ships are certainly gorgeous and meticulously detailed in the decor and theme, but we just flat out had a ton of fun on the Magic. Maybe the smaller ship and more "community" feel had something to do with that?

The Magic definitely needed a facelift in the staterooms and in other areas of the ship and I may die waiting for our 2014 cruise to see result of all of the remodels they are doing!

Thanks!

I enjoyed your trip report very much! Loved all the pictures. We're going to be on the Eastern itinerary, but I just love seeing pictures of the ship, the food, Castaway Cay, and hearing how people have spent their time on board.

No problem! You'll be totally addicted once you go on your first cruise!

They both have pros and cons! The large portal (oceanview rooms) are noticeably larger which is really nice, but I did miss the verandah in the mornings - breathing in the fresh air while drinking coffee or reading was really nice.

I love the Eastern itinerary! Hope you have a blast.

Loved your blog.


I'm just waiting to hear the verdict - were your parents pleased you convinced them to go on the cruise?

Everyone had an awesome time, but I did feel really bad when my dad and my husband's mom got seasick! I didn't even think about the fact that someone would be sick. Once the seas calmed down it was 'smooth sailing' from then on out!

My mom in particular fell in love with cruising. I think I may have created a monster.

I'm still working my way through your trip report, but I'm definitely enjoying it! I'm planning on using the pictures (especially food pictures) to convince DH that we need to try a cruise!
