Trip Report for the 10/9 cruise is complete and Part 1 2 and 3 have been posted to the 10/9 Disney Magic Western Caribbean Trip Report
Here is the "Overall Review"
Was the money spent on the vacation worth it? Yes and no. Overall we spent a LOT of money on this vacation (we did have 8 people!)
1. Staterooms, Crew, overall appearance of ship all get an A+ and make the price well worth it.
2. There is a very large gap in activities for the 18-24 age range. Unfortunately they are really out of place . Although from what I understand if you are in the lower end of this age group going to the Stack, isnt out of the question apparently they dont question those who may appear to be within the age group.
3. During the port days there are not many scheduled activities on board.
4. The BVT should have more titles showing and show them more often.
5. Topsiders schedule is very odd and never seemed to coincide when I was ready to eat. Sure you can get something quick at Plutos and Pinocchios but if your not in the mood for chicken fingers, hamburger, or pizza then your out of luck. Sure you can order room service but that usually takes up to an hour. Extending the hours of Topsiders would be very nice. Open from 7:00am-11:00am for Breakfast, then start to add lunch options at 11am and have a Brunch until 12:30 when all lunch options are offered until 3:30. Then start offing dinner between 5-9 So many other cruise lines have 24 hour buffet style restaurants.
6. Make at least 1 or more lounges on Beat Street non-smoking. I never went to the clubs at night. On the last night I was at guest services for a while and the smoke was almost overpowering in the lobby!
7. The WWTBAM show should be done a few more days during the cruise but they really need to find someone else to host!

They like to stay attached at the hip to dh and I. They are 12 & 14 and can't go to the same club this cruise because of the age cutoffs so that's the problem. The youngest doesn't want to seperate from her sister so we'll see.............
