Is there room at our table for 2 more birthday people??

our friends from NY just informed us that because DCL is ALL we ever talk about they invited themselves for our cruise

soooooo his bday is actually dec 30, her's is jan 21 (i think) then DH is Jan 28 and me 2-1... our ds is thinking about changing his bday from may 6th to fb 2nd... he says he feels left out

looks like we will need a bigger table

hmmmmm maybe we could just have chairs around a huge and just be given forks and bibs.. what do you think??

Ok guys, I'm back ....from the Western. We re-booked while on board for this cruise.....looks like there will be 60 (that's right) in my party.

A few comments and then ask any questions you want and I will answer. The weather was MAGICAL....75 - 85 degrees and sunny and calm all week except for the day we boarded and Castaway Cay. The day we boarded was cool and cloudy. Castaway Cay in the morning was warm (75 degrees) and extemely windy....drinks blow over, hats fly off windy. Then at noon it poured rain. We went to Cookies BBQ and hung out till one o'clock when half my group gave up and went back on the ship to watch a movie.....my girls (DD11 and DD8) and I stayed and we had a wonderful treat. The winds died down and the sun came out and we played on the beach till 3:30 and swam. The water was chilly, but ok.

On Grand Caymen, we caught a cab and went to Royal Palm Beach and spent the day there. We Jet Skiied and swam and ate and had a great time.

In Cozumel, the Teenagers (DS16, DS15, DS15) and my husband golfed and had fun. My girls and I did the dolphin enounter and had a great time. We swam at the beach in the park afterward.

The food was great, the shows were MAGICAL, the pools were crowded.L..but fun......

I can not wait to go back......Ask any questions you would like,
Lisa

We have been finalizing all of the reservations for our group. We are all over the ship. Disney told me today that we will have about 1/3 of one dining room for our group.....oh my,

[pfishgirl]

that was going to be one of my questions disneylover5 where is DCL putting you All?? I thought you'd have your own wing with 80 people!!!

Were is everyone else staying?? We are on deck 6 midship with a veranda
our friends have the closet cabin to us but it is an Inside Stateroom so they will be on our Verandah...

Do any of you Pin Trade? I just heard due to the flu season there will be no pin trading on the DCL.... Is this true??

Hi!

I just found this thread. We are booked for the Magic Western 1/28/06 -- my DSis' family and my family. There are 7 of us altogether; 4 adults and 3 kids. My DSis has a birthday during the cruise on 31 January and DH's is just before we leave on 24 January.

We are not from the East coast, but nearby -- Pittsburgh-- not quite midwest but not quite east coast.

This will be our 2nd Magic cruise. We rebooked while onboard last January (2004). Looking forward to going again!!!



Hi everyone and HADD !!!!

 

[pfishgirl]

Welcome Aboard KMC33

I think we should change the name from The Magic to The Birthday Magic


OK so I think we are up to 10 birthdays if not more.
WoW that's ALOT of

When the cruise comes closer we will have to decide when & where to meet for a Birthday Lunch/Snack/Drink.. whichever...

We also booked our cruise over a year in advance and we plan to do it again. We were on the Wonder for New Years 05 and Book the Jan 06 cruise.. gotta love the $200 onboard credit you get and the 10% off...

well Welcome again and Off I go...be back later

PS.. who if anyone has late night dinner seatings ????

 

[disneylover5]

We were on the Magic last week for the Western and yes, they had suspended Pin Trading. My children were so bummed. We needed one suitcase just for our pins. Oh well, I guess that means we will just have to take a trip to Disney World in the spring ... darn....

KMC33, What Disney cruise were you on last Jan? I was on the Eastern later in the month...I think we left like the 26th or so??

Hi Lisa, I was on the 1/24/04 eastern Magic last year. We were in 8512. My sister and I try and cruise for our bdays every year. Me on Jan 24 and Liz on Jan 28. Missed this year cause I went on the Magic 10 night holiday in Dec '04.

 

[disneylover5]

Sue,
I guess we will be on the same cruise again this year. I wish I had been on the 10 day...but we sure had nice weather on the Western last week.
Where are you in MD, I was brought up in Mont Co.

Lisa - I am in Howard County, just north of I70 and my sister is in Baltimore.
Did you have any trouble on the Jan '04 cruise with weather? I got sick the day between St Thomas and CC. I remember standing on deck 10 and watched the bow go below the horizon and then above it. Missed dinner that night.

Lisa -
We were on the Western last year. We sailed 31 Jan 04 and we loved it!!! We like the ports of call and lucked out with great weather. It was a little chilly in FL before and after, but it was very nice in the Caribbean!

I am looking forward to going again next year!

More Birthday People Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



I think we will need a whole restaraunt for all the birthdays being celebrated on this cruise... Ya think the wait staff will get tired of singing Happy Birthday?? hmmmmm Maybe they should just sing it once and save their energy for hauling out 20 birthday cakes

 

[disneylover5]

Sue, I have never had trouble with seasickness....I went on a Carnival cruise once where you could not walk at all the seas were so rough. We all thought the ship was going to turn over.

Yes, they were selling pins all over the ship. I like to trade........

Kim, I am so glad to hear you had good weather on this cruise last year and I had good weather this year...hopefully next year will be good as well!

Ok guys, I am ready to go now.

My last 2 cruises I used the Bonine pills and did fine. I don't worry about bad weather cause I enjoy cruising so much.

 

[pfishgirl]

Hi All !!
All this seasick talk has made me wonder.....
DH, DS and I are lucky we don't get seasick but we are going to be with 2 other adults this trip, should I tell them to get medicine before hand? Do they sell it on the cruise itself? I know it will cost alot more $$ to buy it while on the ship but IF they need it, is it sold in the shop?

Thanks
