We just got off the Fantasy ( spectacular) and although my husband took many pictures, my daughter decided to buy the photo book for $150. I believe it had 34 pictures all organized and bound in hard cover. She ordered it the last night and picked it up after breakfast the last morning.

 

I'm surprised at this! When we were ordering the photo book we were informed that it would take 6-8 weeks for delivery.

Yes moki'smommy from wot little we seen of Ville France - walking to train station, it did look very picturesque. Unfortunately I am outnumbered by 2 "boys" who are formula 1 & James bond mad so no doubt it will b another trip to Monaco for us!

Yes sorry tagong been away from boards - we are also staying in cat 5b stateroom - just wondered how much of a difference the reimagination had made. I see that there is now storage space under beds - wud there b enough room for 2 large suitcases? Did u have be problems/issues with ur room r did u hear/see ne problems with staterooms and poor state of bathrooms? Do u have ne pics that u cud post of ur stateroom?

TIA

Out of curiousity can I ask which stateroom you stayed in? We sail on the Magic in August and are staying in a connecting verandah stateroom and so far have been unable to find a detailed/informative review?

Glad u and your family enjoyed your cruise!!

Once again thanx moki'smommy for sharing u're knowledge and wisdom. Guess I should start to relax and enjoy countdown as we're not planning to get off the ship @ port except for Monaco/Ville France

Thanx moki'smommy (again) and ex-techie for taking the time to reply- u're right I should just relax and enjoy the cruise 😊. Was just trying to gauge thoughts opinions of stateroom and deck 7 and we stayed in 6544 before refurb - that room was great but nit available when we booked this med cruise.

Thanx moki'smommy. Was wondering about foot fall up & down corridor and general condition of stateroom as there seems to be/have been some issues.

Has anyone stayed in above stateroom? I've searched the reviews but can't find a specific review for it. Stateroom 7534 is mentioned in passing but no details ref noise levels, condition etc. would appreciate it if anyone could help me out and help alleviate some worries as my kids are early birds and hence don't stay up late - the whole reason we opted for veranda - my DH get to spend some us time on veranda sipping wine and just chilling in the evenings whilst the kids sleep. Thanx in advance.

Thanx moki's mommy - will call DCL when we made r booking we weren't asked if there were ne special occasions. Ur advice is very much appreciated!

Traveling with 3 of our Grandchildren one of whom is going to be celebrating a Birthday. I have noticed Disney has already noted his birthday on line without any input from us.

Just out of interest & for my own info - where did Disney note ur g'son's b'day? I ask as it will b my DS's b'day during r med cruise and was told I should contact DCL and have it noted against r reservation. Thanks.

We brought r daughter to bibbity bobbity boutique @ Harrods for her 5th birthday - wot can I say the experience was 1st class. Mind u we didn't spend newhere near to amount quoted by OP. On leaving the store door men and staff all bowed/curtsied as sara went by which made it a truly amazing birthday!!

Has anyone stayed in above stateroom on the magic? Can't find any reviews on it except in one were it is mentioned in passing after a couple had been moved to it.

Whilst on magic last year I had finished a load of washing just before r scheduled MDR so being wary of other passengers needing machines a removed my wet clothing, brought it back to cabin with intention of sticking it in tumble drier after our meal. Unfortunately on r return all laundry rooms had been put out of order. When I contacted guest services they arranged to have washing collected and washed & pressed all items free of charge!!!!:)

Oh and thanx tandabuss for ur reply on my question :)

Do u know where abouts on deck 7 the laundry room is? Would not want to be near it - can imagine how busy/noisy it can be

We sailed on magic last year - around the med - when I asked at guest services about it I got strange looks from the staff. We're sailing on magic again next year - the med again hoping there will b a tea party as my dd was very disappointed last time around :confused:

so we now know itineraries - but which you all you expert cruisers recommend? baltic or med?? am seriously confused!!

Just had a quick scan thru all posts ref RIL - they come highly recommended :) just one question tho - wud u recommend Rome for kids my DS will b 6yr and my DD will b 4yr? DS very keen to visit Pisa and make his own pizza do RIL offer tours which wud cater for such requests?
