Crossing the pond by Disney Magic: Day 8 - At Sea

[BevS97]

I'm enjoying your reports, but I'm wondering if you found enough to do on the Sea Days? I just wonder if I'd get bored after five days?

I can honestly say that I was never bored at all. As you've seen from the Navigators, there was always something going on to go to, but I'm also more than happy to find ways to amuse myself. I had my ipad loaded up with books - I read 8 books during the cruise - plus my favourite games that I like to play. Just wandering round the ship was fun in itself - I took different photos on different days to spread them out over the trip report.

I'm sure you would be fine.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, but DH and I were just talking about not managing to do quite a few things that we wanted to do! I did have 2nd thoughts about so many sea days initially, but we didn't have a moment of boredom, not even time for an afternoon nap! We did go to pretty much every character appearance as we haven't have a 'character fix' for a few years, then there was the talks (Stacia Martin, Disney Historian most days and also Charles Richard for the geographical talk again most days), FOOD, Art of Entertaining (cookery demo/tasting) about 6 times, other one-off talks, FOOD, craft classes, getting ready for dinner, FOOD, shows - several different productions/musicians/other acts each evening, cinema (only managed to fit one in! ) taking photo's around the ship, pool/hot tub, towel and napkin folding classes, FOOD, shopping, adult time in the kids clubs... I didn't even get time to finish ONE book and almost found it an inconvenience on port days !

I'm jumping in too to say i was worried about the six sea days together and wondering if i would get cabin fever. DH and I hardly did any of the structured activities except for an odd quiz and we STILL felt there wasn't enough time!

Loved, loved, loved every single day... even the rough sea day later in the trip

I'm starting to panic! Can someone please clarify if the buffet was on on Pirate night? We missed it last time but I can't see it on the Navigator!

yes it was and frankly it was a shambles. They got everyone to line up from the port side, thru' the electric doors, past the elevators to the buffet opening on the starboard side, then told some of us to go to the electric doors on the starboard side - which then took us the queue that was already there so we either had to cut in the line (hey, we're British we'd never do that!) or walk past all the people in the queue (past where we would have been had we not been told to use the other doors) to the back of the even bigger line so we left and came back later which was pretty annoying, in fact chaos and not what I expected from Disney. Rant over - the buffet was ok, huuuuuge turkey legs, baked potatoes and other stuff I can't remember but the baked potatoes were the only time I spotted them.

Phew! Thank you for clarifying! Sorry to hear it was a shambles tho! Hopefully they will learn some valuable lessons there as it isn't that bad on the bigger ships!

Don't know why it was badly organised as they'd obviously done it soooo many times before, maybe more people than expected turned up at the same time? Never mind, at least it was open
