Magic Review from Sept 2012

[TheGirlNextDoor]

The next day was a sea day also. I found my friends at the pool. I don't see much chair hogging going on. ;)

 

 

We went to the MDR for breakfast. The comedians would come in every so often and tell us a couple of jokes.

 

 

 

I found Santa Claus on our cruise!!!!!

Loving the review and pictures. We have our 3rd cruise and first 7 day cruise on the Magic this March. The first sea day will be our 25th anniversary. So looking for to the cruise and more of your review.

 

 

Life is better aboard a ship.

On Wednesday, we woke up in Roatan. What a gorgeous place!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had a private excursion booked with Victor Bodden tours. Our tour was a guided tour drive around Roatan, playing with the monkies, and snorkeling. This was such a fun excursion.

 

When booking a private excursion here, you have to walk a little ways through the shops and down a hill to get to them.

Yes, it was very humid. However, I've only gone in August or September. I figured it was always that way.

I'm excited to read more. Thanks for sharing!!

Here are some pictures of our drive around Roatan.

 

 

 

 

This was a local child trying to get us to buy something. Ha ha!

 

 

[TheGirlNextDoor]

Our tour took us to to a resort where we could explore a little. I'd love to stay here.

 

 

 

 

We then drove around a little more.... Gotta a glimpse of our ship.

I am so glad you guys are enjoying this. I always like picture reviews so I thought I'd share mine.

Next up on tour was Monkey Business. We were told that Victor Bodden lives in this house which was on the premises.

 

 

There was so much to see at Monkey Business. They had exoctic birds and other animals in addition to the monkeys. You can also zip line here. The monkeys were so playful!!!

This was a spider monkey named Lola. She was so friendly! I would have like to take her home with me!

 

 

Hugs!

After Monkey Business... It was time for snorkeling. Our tour guide took us to a little burrito place to grab something to eat. Oh my, it was so delish!!!!

Snorkeling

 

 

After we snorkeled, we were taken to a beach area to finish up the excursion. Here I was introduced to a WONDERFUL drink called Monkey La La. It was so good.

 

 

 

 

[TheGirlNextDoor]

There were these swing chairs at the tables at the beach.

 

 

Then our tour guide took us back to the port where it was time to say goodbye to him. He was a terrific guide!!

 

 

Back at port....

Thank you. I am glad you are enjoying it. Magic is a wonderful ship.

Which one did you do? Were you on this same cruise?

[TheGirlNextDoor]

I'm not too sure what we did that night after Roatan. Perhaps I had too many Monkey La La's...:rolleyes:

 

Thursday, we woke up in Belize. We booked an excursion thru VIP Tours for cave tubing.This was a wonderful tour. We took a drive in their van for about an hour. Once we reached our destination, we did a little hiking to the caves. We did not have to carry our tubes like other tours were doing. VIP carried them for us. These people were so wonderful and generous. I really enjoyed the cave tubing. I didn't get any pictures as I didn't have a water camera and didn't want to drop mine in the water. I've since gotten an underwater camera.

 

On our tender. It was pouring straight down!!

 

 

 

Hubby ready to cave tube!
