Here we go with my trip report for my 7 night Western cruise. November 29-December 6, 2008.
Day 1-Embarkation Day
Josh and I left the house at 9:30 in the morning and we arrived at Port Canaveral at 10:45.
Check in was smooth as always and we received Boarding number 10. I was surprised by the amount of kids and by the fact that the terminal was already quite busy only 15 minutes after it had opened. Bummed around the terminal until it was time to board. Number 10 was called and it was finally time to get back onboard the Disney Magic for the 5th time and our 9th Disney Cruise overall. Had a yummy lunch at Parrot Cay. This time we were smart and wore our bathing suits under our clothes so we went and spent an hour or so in the pool and hot tub. Our room was ready so we headed down and to my surprise our luggage arrived around 2:30, the earliest I can ever remeber our luggage being ready. After unpacking and the boat drill it was time to sail away which we watched from the pool. The water in the pool was so nice and warm the whole time, according to the tv channel the pool was 86 degrees, felt nice.
Dinner our first night was in Lumiere's. We had rotation LAPAPLA with an 8:15 dining time. Met our server Putu and our assistant Rina who were wonderful for the entire week.
After dinner and some more pool time it was an early night to bed as the first day and all the excitement of being back onboard the glorious Disney Magic just wears me out =)
We are getting close, I can see the Magic

And why were you surprised at the number of kids on a Disney cruise?

I figured that it would be quieter being it was not a holiday and kids where I live in Florida are not out on any vacation or holiday time. And I went last year on the Wonder at the same time of year and there were a lot less children than this.
excellent points and the details are more specific than somewhere else, thanks.
