Sept. 30, 2006 -- Eastern Magic

[DisneyMom&Fan]

DH, DS8 and myself will be taking the September 30, 2006 Eastern cruise on the Magic. Yes! Is anyone else going on this cruise? Since DS is an only child, I'm hoping he will like the clubs and meet up with some other boys his age. I can't wait! September is sooooo far away...

September is just around the corner now!!

Hi, my husband & I are going on the Sept.30th, 2006 cruise. We will be celebrating our 20th anniversary. The kids are staying home with grandma.

 

[DisneyMom&Fan]

Welcome Deboraspringb!! We will be celebrating (sort of) our anniversary too on the cruise (13 years in 2006). It is a couple of weeks before we sail -- I would have liked to have gone on our anniversary, but the Magic is on the Western that week and we really wanted to do the Eastern. That is why I am thinking about getting the REAS package, but DH is uncertain about the massage. Hey, me too, but you only live once, right?

Is this your first cruise? Without the kids? We aren't that brave yet.

Well, hopefully we'll get a few more DISers as our countdown gets closer!!

Hi Disneymom&fam:My mom treated for our whole family to go on the 3 day land 4 day cruise in 2001. In feb 2003 we went as a family on the 7 day western carr. through make a wish. Last July my daughter & I went on the 7 day eastern carr. All through Disney. My husband surprised me with $ for a cruise for our 20th & we really like the Disney line so we picked the 7 day Eastern with Disney. it felt funny @ 1st making reserv. without the kids.

Wow! You are a seasoned cruiser. This will be our first cruise -- not counting the cruise I went on about 23 years ago! I'm having a hard time flying all the way to Florida for the cruise and not going to WDW. We just don't have enough time (or $!).

 

[Deboraspringb]

You will love the Disney Cruise. That is why we picked it for our 20th. Your child will also love it. Our whole family had a great time. It will be hard going without the kids, but we are really excited about celebrating on the Disney Cruise. We picked the Eastern Car. because I love to snorkel.

 

[DisneyMom&Fan]

What a sweet DH! I can only hope for something just as nice for our 20th.

We can't wait to snorkel either ... we actually bought equipment this past weekend to start practicing. DH is a great swimmer and DS can swim ok, but he doesn't like to put his face in the water. I'm not that great of a swimmer, but I'm willing to try it -- especially since I heard you wear a thin life vest. That will put me right in my comfort zone! Now, off to the local pool...

I've read on these boards that Trunk Bay on St. John is the best place to snorkel on the eastern. Where is your favorite place?

Bump *** on page 3, for Mickey's sake!

Anyone else cruising on Sept. 30, '06???

Hi Disneymom&Fam

It is still just your family & us so far. My friend who goes on this board said that usually @ a year from your trip more people will onto the board.
I have cruised the Eastern Car. before but have not been to Trunk Bay. My daughter & I took a speed boat, snorkel excursion on St.John & really enjoyed that. I have heard great things about Trunk Bay.

Hi Deb! Hello 9/20/06 cruisers!
So excited about your cruise! I am trying to read everything I can about cruising in September. It seems to be a very good time price-wise to go. My 20th anniversary is in September 05 and I WISH I could be whisked away on a cruise. These boards help keep the dreams alive!

 

[Deboraspringb]

Anyone sailing with us?

 

[Hollyster2]

Bump this up!

 

[DisneyMom&Fan]

Hi Holly! Glad you will be sailing with us. Who will you be traveling with? I'm on these boards almost everyday just keep the dream alive too! Plus, there is so much information here, everybody is just great!!

Hi Deboraspringb, I guess we are the only ones. Well, at least we'll get REALLY GOOD service throughout the ship.

Come on everyone -- someone else has to be going with us????
