kycruiser87 Posted December 16, 2014 #226 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Do you happen to recall how much their pictures were in Chankanaab for the manatees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conniejb Posted December 26, 2014 #227 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Don't you think it is a little hypocritical to get offended by the comments you overheard from men on their balconies when you report with amusement that your son was giggling out loud at the expense of people that were simply inexperienced cruisers. It's funny when your son laughs at people who's only offense was asking a customer service person at guest services a question. Maybe if the big Texan or the woman looking for her luggage post a review they will state how offended they were when a young man was giggling to the point of tears at their inexperience, while his mother looked on. I was thinking the same thing. The Y'all comments kind of perked my ears up but then I just said "Bless her heart" and kept reading.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC White Posted February 27, 2015 #231 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Hello and thanks a ton for this review! I have stalked it for several months now in planning for our April 2015 cruise on the Magic, same itinerary. I have 2 questions. Regarding the pictures you were able to take. I have read on several other posts that Chakanaab does not allow photography of the encounters. How did you get around that? Secondly, Do you recall what time you guys docked at Cozumel? I am interested in booking an encounter but not sure which time slot to select (options: 10a, 1p, 2p). The Fun Times I have been able to locate say Arrive in Cozumel at 10a? I have cruised before and this is a bit late to arrive at a port so I assume we would actually arrive earlier, huh? Your storytelling skills are so awesome btw!

I work to travel Posted March 13, 2015 #232 Share Posted March 13, 2015 We are going on an Eastern Caribbean Cruise with the Magic next month. I absolutely loved your review. It was hilarious and light hearted. Thank you for sharing all your adventures and giving us a glimpse into your life. I am super excited about our cruise and even more so after reading your experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KELLYHANK Posted April 10, 2015 #233 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The hypocrisy was pretty obvious but thank you for giving permission to not read something. I feel she is trying to give us Newbies ideas of what happens and I love it. However when grown men are making comments to a young lady that are inappropriate and hurt feelings, is different than a young boy laughing at a person trying o fix a problem that doesn't seem to want to get fixed by the employee. I not saying he was right but he can still learn, the men on the other hand are beyond learning and should know much better. That is just plain rude and disrespectable on purpose. That is unacceptable. I enjoying your writing and will continue to read it. And YES you did warn others if they didn't like it not to read. :( and :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2Cool Posted April 11, 2015 #234 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Love the review, AND the Magic. Leaving on her for the 6th, or is it 7th time on May 10th. This is one of the best reviews I have yet read. Thank You for taking the time. Hope Y'all will cruise her again:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KELLYHANK Posted April 11, 2015 #235 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Nope I am seeing the pictures. They are nice pictures to. Are they from your camera or the professional ones from them? Keep writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiritkat090909 Posted April 13, 2015 #236 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I can so relate to the directional challenge :eek: and am dreading my handicap on my upcoming Magic trip... and, I have to say... I turned into Chrissy Snow on hearing of your Umbrella Between the Toes Adventure. Loved it.:D I will never look at cocktail umbrellas the same way.

djbjdper Posted July 8, 2015 #246 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Loved your review. We are booked on the Magic out of PC on June 11th for my Daughters 16th Birthday. I have not cruised in years and Husband and Daughter are newbies. Just went to my booking and got my FTTF! Wasn't sure before if it was a good deal, but after reading your review decided it would be well worth it! Thanks so much and can't wait for our next trips!!

alexspepa Posted October 14, 2015 #247 Share Posted October 14, 2015 this is one of the best reviews ever - if not the best. SailorJack you have some competition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolSW Posted November 26, 2015 #248 Share Posted November 26, 2015 It is a tribute to the OP that, over a year later, this review is still getting hits and positive comments. Amazing! Also, I realized that I had read this review before, in 2014, and I am enjoying it all over again. OK, maybe that says mor about my memory issues, but does not change the fact that this is one of the BEST reviews many/most of us have had the pleasure of enjoying. THANK YOU CMCSHARON for letting us come with you on your cruise! Heading over now to find your blog.... PS - Thanks also for the lesson in constraint you taught us in not engaging the 1% and instead humbly accepting the praise of 99% of the commenters here. Well done!!

chocolatelabguy Posted December 3, 2015 #250 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Without question one of the best cruise reviews I've ever read. You have a marvelous talent for writing and your humor is laugh-out-loud funny. Thank you for doing this - I've written one cruise review myself and am a bit familiar with the time and effort that goes in to writing one of these. Best wishes on your future adventures, and I'll look forward to reading and enjoying your blog posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
