My first cruise ever was on my honeymoon 15 years ago, on Princess Cruise Line. It was a Mediterranean Cruise and I was blown away! I loved every single day and every single moment. We did anytime seating so we didn't have a close waiter/passenger relationship, but we had nothing to compare...

So I very belatedly finished my report. It was such a wonderful trip! It was my second time on the Disney Magic, but I truly fell in love with the ship. I loved the itinerary of the British Isles Cruise and every single day was a wonderful dream. I miss it and feel so blessed to have gone on...

Disembark-Last Day in London- Last Day of Vacation So we woke up early and had one last breakfast in the dining room. Hugging our fun table companions goodbye and exchanging email addresses. We again took a cab to the train station in Dover, and then the train to Gatwick Airport. This all...

Day 12- Day at Sea BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Is there anything worse than the last day on a Disney Cruise? The melancholy really set in that my beautiful cruise was over and after 12 wonderful days on the Disney Magic, we had to pack up and leave the next morning. Added to the fact, I...

Day 11-Newcastle, England cont. So, so, so much fun!!!!!! I LOVED this experience and highly, highly recommend it as a port adventure!!!! On the way back to the boat, we stopped at the Angel of the North. (my picture) A much better professional picture showing the true...

Day 11-Newcastle, England Last Port Day and I was feeling it. My beautiful trip was coming to an end and the melancholy was setting in. Luckily, this was a great day! I have always loved Colonial Williamsburg and other open air museums, so for today, we picked Beamish and the Angel of the...

Oh!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I corrected it. I loved Urquhart Castle!

Day 10-Invergordon-Lochness Day 10, Boo! It was on this day that I could feel that sad feeling of the end of the trip coming. I didn't want it ever to end! So what do you do in Invergordon-Lochness? Well, I figure you have to try to see the Lochness monster right, and of course, since you're...

So cool!!! The wind made it so fun, right? I loved it!!! I saw the 7 day this year doesn't get to stop in Kirkwall =(.

Kirwall cont. I told you about our special send off and sail away in Liverpool. Kirkwall was another special send off. The local dance troop and bag pipers came out and the little ones and bag pipers performed beautifully in the freezing (at least for me) weather! So adorable and special...

Kirkwall, Scotland cont. So if you've ever toured Europe, you know a lot of the touring involves cathedrals and churches. It's some of the finest examples of architecture and history and it's always enjoyable and interesting ... but cathedrals and churches eventually start to blend into each...

Day 9: Kirkwall Ok, so I know I say that almost every day was one of my favorite days (highlights to this point being Dublin and Liverpool) but I think Kirkwall was actually my favorite port. Kirkwall, Scotland is in the Northern Islands of Scotland, in Orkney. We had an early tour, which I...

Day 8: Day at Sea To be honest, I don't remember much about this day at sea but in general I probably did the following things: worked out briefly at the gym, to say I did, took a few laps around the walking deck while my husband and daughter played shuffleboard (shuffleboard is conveniently on...

P.S. In the picture in front of Holyrood I am wearing the blazer I got in Dublin that I love so much.

Day 7: Greenock (Glasgow and Edinburgh) So we woke up on Day 7, usually the most depressing day ever, as it's usually the day we are leaving the cruise, but today, I woke up with a huge smile on my face because I still had 5 more days to go!!!! YAY!!! This was the longest cruise I had ever...

Liverpool Cont. Right by the dock is this beautiful monument which is a monument to the Engine Room heroes of the Titanic: (You can tell from this picture how the Disney Magic is pulled right up to the town. So convenient!!!) I did not know this but Liverpool was the home port of the...

Day 6: Liverpool Liverpool was the one place where I didn't have a Disney Port Adventure booked. I did a lot of research and the tours they had for offer seemed overpriced to me for what they were and it was clear from my research that we docked in Liverpool in a convenient area where we could...

Day 5 Dublin, Ireland I woke up thrilled to be in Ireland! It was a beautiful, sunny day! We did a Disney excursion to see St. Patrick's Cathedral, Trinity College Library and the Book of Kells. Our tour guide was a hillarious woman who was born in Ireland, then spent a significant part of...

I feel so bad that I never finished this trip report. So while it is now over a year and 1/2 later, I'm going to try to finish this. I hope I can remember everything, but this was such a wonderful, amazing trip, that so many elements are burned in my brain and it will be fun to relive it. In...

Try Caribbean Beach? It looks like there is availability at the end of October and while it's not on sale, the rate isn't horrible. We had to cancel our trip during Irma (booooooooo!!!!!) which we had booked at the Yacht Club for a great rate. Unfortunately, the rates went up so we're trying...
