Jenny in TX Posted September 10, 2012 #109 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Awesome review! We are sailing on the Magic in February 2013.

pyroguy Posted September 10, 2012 #110 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm enjoying your review. Good job on the pictures. The D40 is a great all-around camera. Is that the 18-55mm lens you are using? We did something similar last month with our kids, but somehow we were able to keep it a secret until about 30 minutes before arriving at the port (review in my sig). I think we want to do this one with our family - Galveston is within a days drive for us so we would save a lot on airfare. Thanks for posting!

Meyer2 Posted September 10, 2012 Author #122 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Sail Away cont'd. DD dancing. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/jktmeyer/Family%20Cruise%20Aug%202012/DSC_0146.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/jktmeyer/Family%20Cruise%20Aug%202012/DSC_0147.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/jktmeyer/Family%20Cruise%20Aug%202012/DSC_0148.jpg[/IMG] We were kind of bummed as we didn't get to watch all of sail away & us turning, but it was 5:00 at this point & we needed to get to the Theatre for the Camp Carnival check-in. Line wasn't too bad, but it was moving a little slowly, but it was our 1st time, so I have nothing to compare it too. DS with his new friend. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/jktmeyer/Family%20Cruise%20Aug%202012/DSC_0149.jpg[/IMG] Ahhhhh, The little things that make a boy happy. LOL [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/jktmeyer/Family%20Cruise%20Aug%202012/DSC_0150.jpg[/IMG] DD being silly. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/jktmeyer/Family%20Cruise%20Aug%202012/DSC_0153.jpg[/IMG] The process itself didn't take very long at all & since we were newbies to CC, it gave us some info that we needed. We finished about 5:45 & headed back to our cabin to drop off the goodies & head to the MDR for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyer2 Posted September 10, 2012 Author #123 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Dinner Time!!! We had Southern Lights MDR, Upper level, table with my parents. Our waiters were Joaquin, Wayan & Martin. They were great, especially with the kids. Chicken tenders w/honey mustard sauce. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/jktmeyer/Family%20Cruise%20Aug%202012/DSC_0154.jpg[/IMG] I love older DS's face in the picture, silly boy. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/jktmeyer/Family%20Cruise%20Aug%202012/DSC_0156.jpg[/IMG] Okay, Mom & I have a bad habit of closing our eyes. LOL! [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/jktmeyer/Family%20Cruise%20Aug%202012/DSC_0155.jpg[/IMG] DS was surprised at how big the hot dog was & he got the mac & cheese to try too.

reginaphalange Posted September 10, 2012 #124 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Oh my goodness, I am loving your review! And the pictures! I feel like I got to watch your kids "grow up" a bit from the first set of pictures (the "reveal") to the pictures of the actual cruise, almost 1.5 years later! I'm looking forward to more! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
