Hi Everyone.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, as well as your kind words here. She was my mother, my best friend, the matron of honour at our wedding, and I miss her more than I can say.

I am thinking of you and I know how you feel as I lost my dear mum too, she was my best friend and I miss her terrible too. That's 34 years but she always in my heart...(ps I was very young when I lost her)

Thanks, but I've never gotten into FB, no way I could keep up with something else. I'm hoping to combine an Alaska cruise and a week in Hawaii in the same trip, will work out logistics if they go back in 2015.

Here's a link off our blog whit photo's and a review off our trip in dutch but you can translate it on the site.

Please mark the PayPal payment as a gift to either Noel Birkner for US Dollars at birkner@needinfo.com or Connie van Maaren ( p.vanmaaren@chello.nl) for Euro payments.

Be sure you put either your DIS of FB name in the PayPal notes so we know where the payment came from and can properly credit you.

So, even on a 14 dat cruise with what like 7 days total at sea, we're still only allowed to make one Palo reservation in advance?? can we make one dinner and one brunch (provided we can't get in on the brunch group meets) or is it just one or the other??

They really should have tried to put a Remy's or something similar on the new Magic... Lol if there were a time I'd like to try it this cruise would be it!


Also, this will be our first time having to utilize the nursery, does anyone know if we are capped at a certain number of hours for advance reservations?? Not that we're trying to leave our baby there all the time but I do kind of want to make sure we have enough time reserved to enjoy some of the adult group activities that everyone is planning!

Yes, only one Palo Brunch and Dinner reservation in advance per person. Once aboard you can make all the reservations you wish, even a brunch everyday if you really want.

Know one couple on our last Hawaiian cruise that had dinner 12 out of 14 nights (we guilted them into coming back to our group table one more time).

Not sure where they would be another whole restaurant/kitchen on the Magic but a Remy's would be nice.

Welcome aboard!! And a great stateroom location --- that was our stateroom for EBTA this year

On our previous two transatlantic crossings, yes, it was capped at 35 hours. Our first cruise we booked the 35 in advance and had no problems adding more or changing onboard. That was when we had the 15 month old and wanted a couple hours each evening for dinner / after-dinner (we had her in with us for dinner the first hour, then took her to Flounders). With fewer children on the crossings, especially WBTA (EBTA historically has more children from my readings and observations) you have better chances of adding hours once onboard.

Did you know Flounders was orginally a kitchen and conference room, within weeks of the fitout DCL had known they had made a mistake and this was then converted to a nursery, some of the kitchen still remains, although it could go on the current drydock.

Another strange fact is they have kids on the transatlantics??? you just didn't see that many on the WBTA's and Mandy's right of course more were seen on the EBTA. I miss the days when you could drop the children of to the kids clubs, now of course they come to mixology

lol well the fewer kids on board the more time mine get to spend with the Characters!! But honestly I'd much rather them miss the first 2 weeks of school then the last 2... IJS finals seem a wee bit more important then the beginning where you're just getting to know everyone.

hey, so long as the kids aren't getting in on the 'mix' I don't see a problem with them being at mixology so long as mom and dad can keep an eye on them. personally I wouldn't.. lol

I personally see no reason to ever let the kids in Sessions or Cadillac Bar or the other adult spots on the larger ships-- those are bars, people, not Sonic or McDonalds. It's nice to have the over 18 or over 21 designations in some parts of the ship-- even before 9PM. Parents are lucky to have free babysitting for kids if they wish to converse with other adults. At least that's my take.

I think their referring to the fact the "kids" are now old enough to participate in mixology!!!
