MissRabbit Posted May 13, 2011 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2011 woohoo! Hope you're having a fabulous time and thanks for the pics of the 2nd floor of the dining room. not sure which one of the MDRs it was, but it gave me an idea of what it's like.

MissRabbit Posted May 13, 2011 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2011 i have a quick question whenever you're bored stiff (lolol like that could happen when you're cruisin') in this pic of yours.. http://www.zydecocruiser.com/CarnivalMagic/May_01_2011/05Messina/may5_1/DSC_4923.JPG there are 3 big vent looking things below the little mini-lifeboat. Do you know if those are indeed vents and if they make a lot of noise? I know originally i was going to go in 2298 (same as yours, right?) but i'm thinking if i go with 2284, i'd not have a big lifeboat overhead and could take advantage of that gap in the lifeboats and have a better view of the sky. But if those are indeed vents and they make a lot of noise or expell nasty smelly stuff, it wouldn't be worth it for the extra view. Any idea on what they are and if they make noise? Thanks a ton.

Rare English Tim Posted May 13, 2011 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Nice pictures, Bill. Is it easy for you to put some titles, so we know who or what are in the photos. On FB, one can 'tag' photos, so others can see which CC posters are at the M&G for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are selling FCCs. i have a quick question whenever you're bored stiff (lolol like that could happen when you're cruisin') in this pic of yours.. http://www.zydecocruiser.com/CarnivalMagic/May_01_2011/05Messina/may5_1/DSC_4923.JPG there are 3 big vent looking things below the little mini-lifeboat.

Don't notice them at all. More noise from door slammers. They do seem to have an automatic washer somewhere above us that around 12:15 rains some on our balcony. Titles are on the list of things to do, but are about the most time consuming, so will probably wait until a sea day or two (in between naps). Tonight we are going to probably skip the MDR and just do Lido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruises42 Posted May 13, 2011 #10 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I love it when you cruise!! Does the Cucina del Capitano offer the same Pasta bar menu for lunch as the Carnival Dream or is it closed at lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustgo Posted May 13, 2011 #11 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks for the FCC answer. I am all out and need more. I love your pictures and all of your info. Have a wonderful b2b!!!! It is hard to wait for our turn in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okwriter Posted May 13, 2011 #12 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I recall reading here on CC that most (?) of the casino is non-smoking. Can you ballpark that for me? Is only 25% smoking? More? Less? THANKS! Enjoying your reports so far! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with the Dream policies, but I asked in a separate thread and got the answers I needed. ENJOY! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great to meet you on the inaugural and we hope you fully enjoy the BTB.Jerry Thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you, as well. can you do me a huge favor while your on the ship can you try to get me a past guest pin No. I believe people need to earn the pins. Besides, the pins on Magic are a big disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuak Posted May 14, 2011 #19 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I have spent hours on your website looking at the pictures over and over. DH is starting to get upset, as I am completely enthralled with each new set of photos, and he is being completely ignored :rolleyes:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mriley Posted May 14, 2011 #20 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi! Thanks for posting these great pics. Your Livorno photos bring back great memories! We are sailing on the Magic in a Cove Balcony. I noticed your stateroom does not have a lifeboat above. I've searched the boards but have not been able to find which "coves" do not have lifeboats. Is that something you can investigate for me - if you have some down time, that is? I booked 2310. Am I in the clear? Happy cruising!

Sargent_Schultz Posted May 15, 2011 Author #23 Share Posted May 15, 2011 You're (collectively) welcome! :) Supposed to be crappy weather in Dubrovnik tomorrow (AGAIN). Oh well. It we were going to be in Italy somewhere, I'd say make limoncello? Not sure what they do in Croatia. A couple of pages of sea day 1 posted, including a "galley" tour. Enjoy!

btorlv Posted May 15, 2011 #24 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Great pics. I am really getting excited for our trip. We go on our cruise in 3 weeks. Did you take the train to Livorno? If so, how did you get to the train station. Does Carnival provide a shuttle into town? If so, how much was it. Carnivals excursion site has been down for 3-4 weeks. Can't wait to see more of your pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted May 17, 2011 Author #25 Share Posted May 17, 2011 We did not take the train. WIFI on the ship has been toast for a couple of days and then they blew the satellite up. we'll see how long it lasts this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
