Fantastic, you will love it, I am sure!

Our very first cruise was on the Disney Magic in 2002. We loved it! How long is your cruise for, Mizzy?

ours is on the wonder for 3 nights going to nassau and castaway cay
3 nights is enough for us as a starter cruise to see how we go and then you never know we may become hooked[msnwink]

if you've got any tips or info Geoff and Ellie too then i would really appreciate any help

photos would be great too if that's not to cheeky to ask[msnembarrased]

Mizzy, you will find some articles on cruising in the Florida Guide, but if you have any specific questions, then fire away and we will be pleased to help you.

Unfortunatley, we did not have a digital camera in 2002 but I have some photos that I will try to scan and see what happens. Castaway Cay is beautiful, with lots of activities, and to be honest that was our favourite stop. We also visited St Maarten, St John and St Thomas.

Okay, I'm afraid these aren't very wonderful, please bear in mind I've had to scan them. These two were taken at Castaway Cay.

The two below were taken in one of the restaurants called Animator's Palate. During your meal the restaurant transforms itself from black and white to full colour, as each course is served colours are added to the scenes. The rest is a surprise! Below is myself and Geoff with our daughter and her friend who were both working for Disney in Epcot at the time.

Disney have what they call rotation dining. Each evening you eat in one of the three differently themed dining rooms and the nice thing about it is that your waiters will follow you from restaurant to restaurant each evening as well. If you want a more intimate dinner I would suggest booking the restaurant Palo, although it is an adult only dining room and there is an additional cover charge.

The earlier you arrive at the port the better. I would aim to arrive at noon or even earlier if possible, as you will be able to have lunch onboard and have a good look around before a lot of the other passengers arrive.

I'm sure that you will have a wonderful time!
