jenseib Posted December 16, 2012 Author #301 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Ugh! I hate people like that. I had to leave a show on Triumph early into the second number because a woman behind me kept taking flash pictures. After the first few I even turned around and said "Excuse me", but she ignored me and wouldn't even make eye contact with me. She had this look on her face like 'I know I'm wrong but I don't care'. And this was just a few minutes after the CD had asked that there be no flash pictures during the show. That is so annoying.. And stupid because her pictures will not come out with the flash as her flash can not possible reach the stage. She was actually taking worse pictures.

jenseib Posted December 22, 2012 Author #302 Share Posted December 22, 2012 After all that pirate fun, we decided to head to the buffet, which for those who have been on the Magic in years past, it is now located in Topsiders. I am trying to remember between my 2 trips, but I believe they only had it opened on one side and the line was long and slow moving. I have to say, I wasn’t all that impressed with the selections. And my pictures aren’t that great, and I can’t remember exactly all that was offered. I do know there was a lot of Mexican food, and I wasn’t in the mood for that. Well, actually none of us were hungry at all. It wasn’t all that long ago that we had gorged ourselves at dinner. I think I picked up a few things, one being a turkey leg. It had been YEARS since I last had one and I wanted to try it again. I might’ve picked up a dessert or 2 as well. I only ate basically a few bites. Most of my food was wasted. I felt bad, but I was so full. I will say the turkey leg was very good, but VERY hard to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 22, 2012 Author #303 Share Posted December 22, 2012 After sitting for a while and chatting, we just were all so tired and we headed our separate ways. This might’ve been the night that Carolyn slept in Brook’s room. I guess one of her roommates was a loud snorer and she just couldn’t sleep, so a few nights during the trip she went to Brooks room and slept. We always turned the TV on when going to sleep because we would still hear that weird noise. I wish the TV’s had sleep timers so we could set them to go off after a certain time, but they did not. We also had issues with the toilet running and I found that if it kept making weird noises, that if I flushed it again, it would stop. I don’t think it took long to fall asleep tonight.

jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #304 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Sept. 26, 2012 Day 6, Costa Maya Today’s navigators. I awoke around 5:45 this morning and gave up on sleep. I decided today would be a good morning to grab the tripod and take some early morning pictures. Keep in mind, just because you have a tripod, it does not mean all pictures turn out good! LOL The sun was starting to peek out. I took a peek through the window into Palo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #305 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I really like this shot. I basically roamed around the ship and every so often would shoot the sun coming up in the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #306 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It’s so quiet and peaceful in the morning. Not many people around at all. Another couple of shots that I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #307 Share Posted December 23, 2012 And then I saw it and gasped. My pictures are terrible, BUT I saw a rainbow out at sea. Actually it was a double rainbow. It was very faint, but it was just one of the neatest things I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #308 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I continued my early morning walk around the ship with my tripod. Some shots came out pretty neat, some, just awful. Some I would play with the settings and take like 4 or 5 of the exact same thing. After making the rounds up top, I went inside to try my luck with some inside shots.

jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #309 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I headed towards the atrium. Warning ….I took a LOT of pictures of this chandelier …I mean a LOT! Well actually I took a lot of the atrium as well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #310 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Yeah, I pretty much was shooting every square inch of the place. Taking a look behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #311 Share Posted December 23, 2012 And to the side. And then down a floor. And towards the shops. I walked down near the shops and tried to get some more shots of the window displays. Some came out pretty decent, some not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #312 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I really think the displays are so cute. And now a look at the Walt Disney Theatre area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #313 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Peeking in one of the windows of the shops …for those who don’t know, they are right here next to the theatre entrance. A look back from where I came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 23, 2012 Author #314 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Down another flight. This cracked door is where you enter and exit from when you embark and disembark on the first and last days. Peter was our cruise director. More shots of the atrium.

jenseib Posted December 28, 2012 Author #316 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I must say I had a hard time getting a good shot of Mickey here. He is so dark in color and he just would not turn out nice. I think these are about the best I could get the whole trip. More chandelier overload. I was trying to be artsy, I guess.

jenseib Posted December 28, 2012 Author #319 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Another picture I really like. Sessions. Inside Sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted December 28, 2012 Author #320 Share Posted December 28, 2012 A little more exploring. Up Beat is where you can buy duty free alcohol and cigarettes. We went in and asked about the kinds, thinking we would be good wives and bring some home for the husbands, but they were very limited on what they carried. Into Diversions.

jenseib Posted December 28, 2012 Author #321 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I decided to have a little fun. I set up the tripod and a long exposure and then I would run into the picture, stand a moment and then leave it, giving me a “ghost” look. After that fun I headed up towards the spa, with a quick look out at the adult pool. The Vista Spa was completely empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarnivalGirl3 Posted December 29, 2012 #324 Share Posted December 29, 2012 LOVE the pictures! I had planned to spend some time roaming taking pictures, but never did. :( I was going to post the few I did take, but no need to now. though, I never saw the ship THAT empty. lol. Oh, and the line for the buffet on Pirate Night was long/slow. We didn't bother, but from the pictures, I wish we had. We just ordered room service! If they had a place I could walk up and get a mickey bar and cookies, then I'd be in HEAVEN! I was never able to get the ship's horn either.

riofriotex Posted December 29, 2012 #325 Share Posted December 29, 2012 We decided to look in here a minute because who ever heard of bamboo socks? Well they had them and sheets and just about anything you could think of made out of bamboo. The clothing was VERY soft, and PRICEY. We won’t be taking those home with us. I LOVE the Cariloha bamboo shirt I got at this store last year! I only got one, because I wanted to see how it washed up (it's purple, so I was worried about fading). It's done great, so I plan to get more shirts this year! Loving your review and pictures. I hope you will be done before we head down to Galveston on January 3 for our Disney Magic cruise starting the next day! I feel like I will already know the ship well, thanks to your outstanding photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
