Carnival Magic Inaugural Cruise from Galveston!

Snoozeman · #1 (**permalink**) August 6th, 2010, 04:15 PM

Who is on board for this first time event? Why wait? Lets sail the newest ship in the Carnival fleet on her inaugural U.S. Cruise.

I'm trying the new Cove balcony.

Who else is booked?

Oooooh, ME! ME! I'm booked!!

In fact, I may have even been booked before you were.

I guess I have to go see what the cove balconies are. What deck are you on, baby?

Snoozeman · #3 (**permalink**) August 6th, 2010, 04:38 PM

I think you were booked b4 me as I just booked this afternoon.

I'm on Main deck. I thought I should try the new coves so that I could review them for CruiseMates and for my Cruise Blog. My aunt had one on Cunard, but liked the traditional balconies better. I thought I would find out for myself. I used the Early Saver fare so I'm committed to it now.

I keep running into the most interesting people on these cruises.

I've got plenty of time to learn one.

Hmmmm Looks like we will be joining y'all on this one.

We may even bring our "Magic" wand.

Ooooooooooooooooooh....didn't even think of that one!

How could I miss the inaugural cruise out of Galveston ???????

Guess I'm "All In".

lindnet · #10 (**permalink**) August 6th, 2010, 09:23 PM

So, Mr. and Mrs. Phil&Liz and Mr. and Mrs. ScurvyDog, where are YOUR cabins?

I am in a 1A again, but this time I got one on deck 8.

Yay, I'm on a deck higher than Ray and I'm not on Riviera!

T C · #11 (**permalink**) August 6th, 2010, 09:59 PM

I am still not sure that all of you are ready for your very own Magic Wand

(although I am going to present Mr. ScuvyDog his as previously promised)

These things are powerful and you must use the power wisely

How else do you think I got all of you to book before I did

I had to make sure that this was going to be a Magical cruise. Of course I'm in

, but Aruba will have to be out

He doesn't have it yet! I bet TC used it for him.

TC, can you use it for me now? I'd like a balcony, please.

Well Baby, the Magic wand says balcony cabins are available

but it has no power over paying for them

Oh crap

I guess it's back to the bilge for me (or maybe the laundry room).

lindnet · #18 (**permalink**) August 7th, 2010, 01:10 PM

What the heck is the wand good for, then? I can see they're available all by myself, it's the price I'm having trouble with.

Scurvy, both the bilge and the laundry room are great places to have cabins.....as long as you have friends with balcony parties.

Snoozeman · #19 (**permalink**) August 9th, 2010, 09:58 PM

Cool NEW Graphic--hope it loads.......

lindnet · #20 (**permalink**) August 9th, 2010, 10:41 PM

Wow, Ray, that's AWESOME!!!! I think we need tee-shirts of it, don't you????

Would be cool!

We could get Carole to look at it too.

Hey, looky who's going to be on our cruise!

It looks though that this time I will because I have to be in Galveston for the first cruises from there and it would seem unfair to have another CD host the TA and then tell him or her to bugger off when they reach Texas. So, I have asked Heidi and Kye to come with me and at the moment it looks like she will and that means that yes………I will be the CD for your Carnival Magic’s trans-Atlantic voyage.

That's from John Heald's blog today. Gee, do you think he'll be sick of us after 3 cruises?

His schedule is often messed up. Heidi and Kye were supposed to be with him (and us) on Splendor, too.

I wouldn't get too excited until closer to sailing.

Oh, did you think I was talking about Heidi and Kye? No, I just thought it was interesting that the 3 cruises we're booked for, it sounds like John will be on as well. I know the Blogger's cruise he was obviously going to be on, but the other 2 are an interesting coincidence.

Snoozeman · #25 (**permalink**) August 13th, 2010, 01:36 AM

I've been trying to catch up and just read the past 8 JH blog entries this evening. Yes that caught my eye right away. Sounds like our cruise was for sure and the TA was yet to be determined. It could change, but looks like that is the plan. I bet they have some sort of ceremony planned. I did the inaugural Voyager cruise out of Galveston when they had the huge longhorns attached to the top of the ship. (photo on my blog) I'm guessing Carnival has something special planned as well.

lindnet · #26 (**permalink**) August 13th, 2010, 07:14 AM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TC!!!!!!!!!!!

HOPE IT'S AWESOME!!!
We will celebrate for real together very soon!!!

ready2gonow · #27 (**permalink**) August 13th, 2010, 09:48 AM

I haven't booked this one, yet, but it is just a technicality. I have also mentioned this cruise to several of my friends, so our party may grow!

Better get on the stick! I'd hate for the ship to fill up without you!! Maybe you could find a group cruise and get booked for $25?

Hi, Snoozeman. We met on a recent cruise - I think either the Conquest or Ecstasy a while back (I am also known as Travel Girl). Anyway, I will be waving to you as I get off the Magic. We are on the repositioning cruise out of Barcelona.
Have a great cruise.

Oh, Yes, Hi

I'll be on the Mariner TA getting in just a few days before you!!

Enjoy the Magic cruise, you should have enough time to fully check it out! We have a great group, why don't you just stay on another six days?
