Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Photobucket is working, Yay!!!! Okay, so be ready as here comes more!!!! :D

 

Right? Even took my new camera, imagine my disappointment when I plugged it in and downloaded all 6, lmao!

 

Can't wait to read the rest of your review!

 

Sounds like something my DH would do, LOL!

 

Hey girl...what happen your used photobucket? It site is very slowly?

 

I think the Photobucket website was having some major technical issues. Seems to be all better now, thankfully.

 

Can't wait to see more!

Love it and your kids are cuties!

 

Thanks so much!

 

Can't wait for the rest of your review! Hmmm...it seems like we were on the same cruise!?;) We 'only' took ~ 750 pics! Still, it took a while to upload, etc from three cameras. Sorry Photobucket is not cooperating...grrr...

 

Great cruise, great itinerary, even enjoyed the rain on the first sea day!:p

 

:D I think my hubby was surprised that I didn't snap more pictures. Hahaa!

 

Cant wait for more!

 

Thanks!

[quote name='laumicmah']Nice review...thanks for posting!

I recently got an e-mail from Photobucket telling me that they made some changes...I guess they are in the process of changing things and that may be why you are having difficulties.[/QUOTE]

Thanks! Ah, see, I didn't get that email, but I bet that's what the issue was related too.

After we finished our lunch, we took turns going down to Lido for a sweet treat. Here's looking down from Cucina.

A little more close up.

One thing I've never done on any of my cruises, was go into the actual spa area & take a look around. So, us girl's decided that's what we wanted to do. It was about 1:15 at this point, so they slowly headed towards my parents cabin with the carry-ons & we planned on meeting them there when we were done.

My Daughter is a very girlie girlie & enjoyed the tour.

Before we left the Spa area, My Mom made an appt for a consultation for the teeth whitening & we made an appt for DD for one of the kids mini mani/pedi treatments on our Belize port day.

After finishing checking out their cabin, we headed down to Deck 1 to see ours. We decided to go with the family OV for 5 for several different reasons. It was the most reasonably priced for our family was one & we didn't feel the kids were ready to be in a separate cabin, & also, he had a 2nd bathroom with a mini tub/shower & sink. Yes, it was a little crowded at times, but it was not horrible & we would choose one of these rooms again. This was the lowest DH & I had ever been on a cruise, deck wise, & we hardly felt any movement all all, just a little the 1st sea day.

Oh, & I should say, the kids LOVED the room, they thought it was all super cool!

Then the regular one.

Where DD slept. Two of the cruise critters were already tired. LOL

With this room, it say twin beds only & cannot be made into a king because of the 2nd upper bunk. We decided that would be fine then, so we were surprised to see them put into a king, which we appreciated. Our room steward just moved the 2nd ladder over to the end instead of the side.

By this time, all but 1 suitcase had been delivered to the room, so we worked on getting everything put away for the week. When we were almost done, the room steward knocked on our door to let us know Muster drill was about to start. We were in E-3, which is the Northern Lights dining room, we were on level 3. This is the 1st Muster Drill I've seen, where they actually walked around with counters & counted the # of passengers in each muster station. The younger 2 kids, got their wristbands.

After Muster Drill, we stopped by the room to quickly finish putting our stuff away & then headed towards the Lido deck for sail away. We went up to Deck 12 along the starboard side to watch.

[quote name='ComeSailWithME']Your room had 2 bathrooms?[/QUOTE]

Yes we did. The 2nd one is smaller, but it's a jr. tub/shower & a sink only. But was very nice for being able to have 2 taking showers & getting ready at the same time.

We were in 1404 and LOVED this room! I would have booked a room like this for our couple cruise but we are going with spa rooms this time!

Thanks for posting such great pictures with this wonderful review. I'm especially loving the pictures of the ship. My wife and I are going on the Magic in April and really appreciate seeing the perspectives in your pictures which show many of the things that we are curious about. I eagerly look forward to the rest of your review!
