Not only that but we have both Palo dinner and brunch scheduled at exactly the same times, and we did Captain Marvin's the last time too. Heck, why mess with a good thing, right?

OMG - Magic Quest on the WBTA was hysterical!!! I was actually hoping that since they had it early in the cruise (like the third night), they would schedule another night later in the cruise but they didn't . Definitely something not to miss!!!

I didn't even know what it was all about until I read up on Royal Caribbean (they do the same thing)-we ended up not being able to go on that cruise because it conflicted with one of our reservations, so I'm really looking forward to catching it this time!!

Thanks so much for reading! I'm so glad you enjoy the trip reports!!!

It is an adults kind of scavenger hunt with a twist. It's hard to explain without spoiling it (kind of) but you break into teams and work together to find and...er....display the items as requested the fastest and best. You don't go around the ship- it's stuff most folks would tend to have onhand. I haven't actually attended one yet but from what I've read you don't want to know too much- it's the spontaneity that makes it fun!

Jen, do you know when they usually do this? Is it on the first night and do you know around what time?

Traditionally yes it has been the first night and I do believe it is 10 PM or possibly 11 PM. One of the 10/16 folks should be scanning and posting their Navigators really soon so I will be watching closely for those to go up and double check.

This will be the first time we are staying at the port and not getting up at 3-4 AM to drive over from home the day of the cruise so I'm looking forward to not being as exhausted the first evening and having some FUN!

[taraandmike]

Thank you for letting me know about Magic Quest, we like you are always exhausted the first night..Probably why I have missed this night. We fly in from North Dakota and first night we fall asleep right after dinner!

Will definately have to force ourselves to stay awake to enjoy Magic Quest.

We are staying at CI&S this January before our cruise. Can not wait to hear about your experience with this hotel and shuttle if you are using.
You are so close now. I love the shirts and Mickey Mouse head shirts/dresses you made for your family. You are so creative!

I agree! In the past we have had problems with the Club/Lab only being "Family Time" the first night as well, but now with the big kids old enough to be in Edge/Out & About (which, looking at the new Navigators do appear to be up and running in full capacity the first evening) means it's party time for mommy & daddy. LOL!

We are using the shuttle (doing Park & Stay or whatever it is they call it- costs $20) so I will let you know all about how it works!

You are so close now. I love the shirts and Mickey Mouse head shirts/dresses you made for your family. You are so creative!

Oh thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without the help of wonderful folks on these boards!

And thanks so much for reading!!!
