Scrappin' on the Magic

[avinsmomma]

Was reading some Navigators from the DCL ship the Magic and saw a couple of scrapbooking events. Has anyone done one of these? Is their an additional fee? Do they provide the supplies?

I did it in 2010, so things could be different now. I was not impressed though. They had foam stickers in the center of the table for you decorate a piece of scrapbook paper they gave us. The paper wasn't very cute nor the stickers They did sell a few things, but the items sold were also available at the store on board.

I did on the dream last summer foam stickers were given and a paper that was not very cute. They gave you done old navigators to cut up too.

Yeah, I wasn't impressed. My daughter had fun with the other kids and putting foam stickers on everything in sight though!

last two long cruises on the Wonder there were no scrapbooking classes offered, even though we requested one from entertainment staff. On the EBPC - they did have cardmaking twice, and tilemaking, mask making, Origami 4 times, twice by entertainment staff and twice by the servers, and chracter drawing about 6 times. Ponce & JT? TJ? are so much fun.

oh dear, not looking good for classes but reading the other comments we won't be missing much!

On a slightly different note, are there any things not readily available, that can be requested for my album? On previous cruises with another line they presented us with a copy of the menu for every night as well as a ships log detailing the journey, including speed, direction, conditions etc. that are great mementoes.

I bought an album on board and brought it to Guest Services and to have it autographed by the characters (and a pillowcase for my daughter as well).

what a great idea!

I photograph every menu (no they don't give them to you) and every morning and night I take a picture of the information channel with the map and sea conditionson it. It's the only way I can keep track of when I took what photos and ate what meal.

Oh that's a shame they don't give you any mementoes, but that's a good idea taking photo's as a consolation.
I love to take a photo at every port with the board that says the ship name, date, port and what time to be aboard for the next port - does DCL also have one of those boards near the gangway?
We last sailed DCL is 1998 and they left really cute cards in our cabin each evening, I don't suppose they do things like that anymore?

The UK Disney store doesn't even stock them

I think it depends on what is available at the time. They usually give you 2 sheets of themed paper not in the kit for sale and then Ive seen everything from nothing to stickers and flyers/navs/ and flags.
I have also found that if you are DVC and go to their desk and smmoze if they can they will give you another set. It was either that or I was just pixie dusted!
