Verandah Man-I am glad you got to see Shirley and Norm before leaving on your cruise.It was so great seeing them after our cruise.If you stop back in please give them our regards and a hug from Charlie and I.Hope you and Hazel have a great evening!Parrot Cay twice in a row?That is different isn't it?Hope the seas settle down for you.I will never forget the last sea day on the Magic boy was it rocky.It didn't both me as much as it bothered dh.I still say the seasickness I got from our first crusie with DCL two years ago was the champagne as I have been fine ever since.

Enjoy!

Hi there! Just been lurking on your post since we're considering taking a Disney Cruise & naturally I have to read that you are "rocking & rolling tonight!" Oh my goodness.....not something I needed to hear! I'd be running for the life vest (or the barf bag) at this point!
BTW ~ Happy Anniversary!

Not what I wanted to hear either since I'll be going in a few days EEEK I better stock up on the Bonine.
Happy Anniversary!!! What a great place to celebrate!

Dont let the rocking get your down. On our past cruises we were told that leaving Cape Canerval heading south that the ship is generally going against the jet stream. Usually it gets better the second day.

Hopefully it will be okay next week.

Hi everyone. Live from the Magic. I am sitting a few seats away from Andy and Hazel. The weather was beautiful today. It has been beautiful weather since we arrived last Wednesday. It was so nice to meet everyone that was posting on the 1/4/05 thread. DH and the children just went to sleep so here I am. It was a very busy day. The deck Party was AWESOME!!!!!!!! We bought special bubble blowers for the sail away party. The children loved it. We were right up front. We took some awesome pictures. I will post them when I return. We are in Cabin 8024. what a great cabin. I got to see a cat 2 and 3 today. Those cabins are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mary-thanks for the wonderful welcome I received from Andy today from you.

Diana-It was wonderful to meet you,Kevin and Alicia.
DS is still talking about your daughter. To bad he is so young.

Shirley-Thanks so much for the awesome gifts for my children. They loved them.

They will be doing the Pirate show and fireworks on this cruise.

We don't seem to be rocking as much as we did earlier. We are really enjoying ourselves. Our serving team surprised us with a Happy Anniversary cake after dinner tonight. We took it back to our room and put it in the cooler. Hazel is sitting next to Gail right now and across from me in the Internet Cafe. Mary, I shared your hug with Gail at the DISmeet earlier.

My mom lives in Lake County, just across the St. Johns River from Deland.

I've been up since 3:50 this morning, and my mind is in bit of a fog, so I think I had better close for now. We did have a very nice dinner with Melody and EB, we are also sharing our table with a couple of CM from WDW, we got to hear some interesting stories at dinner tonight, with more promised for the next few nights.

We will be arriving at Nassau around 9am tomorrow morning, and the all aboard is set for 2am Thursday morning, then we will be heading for Castaway Cay on Thursday, followed by a day at sea on Friday.

I'm sorry if there are any typos, I'm just too tired to go back and proof read my message.

That's all for now folks!!!

This is gonna be a REALLY long thread by the time VM and Hazel get home but what fun. Knew we could count on Andy to give us a vicarious cruise.

Hey Andy and Hazel, congratulations and have a MAGICal anniversary.

You guys are going to love Pirates night and the fireworks. They are wondeful!

Enjoy your MAGICal cruise!

It's snowing here in Chicago - wish I was sailing with you guys!

 

[Carol36]

Happy Anniversary to you and Hazel! I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of my favorite Diser's is experiencing "magic"!!! I wished we were there sharing with you all!
We were in 6143 on our "Wonder"-ful cruise last May and loved the quiet location also!!!
I hope that you all have a great time!!!

[Bella2000]

have a wonderful trip and I can't wait to have you back on land so I pan pick your brain on which 7 day to do. See we always have you working on this board! Thank you for your reports - Now go have fun!

 

[LoveMickey]

I've enjoyed reading your post.

Hope you have a very nice cruise.

 

[GrayFal]

Gail and Andy, thanks for the post - NY/NJ has rain turning ti ice and snow later today - I hope Nassau is a little better....

Glad to see Andy and Hazel have some company on the ship...I was beginning to worry

 

[Verandah Man]

I am just returning from the DVC Celebration Gathering that was held in Diversions and I won Hazel a DVC Beach Towel, also picked up some other very nice give-away gifts. The DVC metting began at 8am this morning, anf my bride of "nearly" 30 years was still sound asleep when I left the room.

We docked here in Nassau while I was at the DVC Gathering. It is a beatuiful morning here in Nassau, the sun is shining and it is quite warm out already.

Hazel and I will be staying on the ship today and there is plenty of things planned for us to do here on the ship. We are going to see "The Incredibles" at 10:30am and will be taking in the matinee showing of Golden Mickey's at 3:45pm.

Donald "Ducky" Williams was on the 10 day cruise a couple of weeks ago, but one of his paintings on up at the Silent Auction table and I was the first one to put a bid in for this painting, keep your fingers crossed, this painting would like very nice with the other two Ducky Williams paintings that I have on our living room wall back home.

We have the Captain's Welcome Reception at 7:45pm this evening.

Hazel and I will be rebooking our August 2006 cruise onboard in order to receive the 10% discount and $200.00 onboard credit.

Well, I guess that's all the news for now, a large crowd is gathering around me waiting to debark for Nassau, and it is getting very noisey so I'm going to close for now. Besides, I have to check and see if Hazel is awake and getting ready to go see The Incredibles.

Will do my best to check in later (LOL)!!!

Andy
