Hi there! My name is Laurie, I'm 28 and I'm a cruise fanatic!
The rest of my crew includes my husband Jerry, also 28, and our beautiful daughter Cassie who is 2 1/2 years old.
We are from Massachusetts and looking forward to our first family cruise!
That's right, this will be Cassie's first cruise EVER!
So, you're probably wondering what the title means...I've been "Loyal to Royal (Caribbean)" since I began cruising back in 2002. Ever since then, I have been fascinated with cruising, cruise lines, cruise ships...pretty much anything cruise related. When Royal Caribbean launched the Freedom of the Seas, they made a stop in Boston and I dragged DH up to Boston just to see her! So, when we heard about Disney's new ship, the Dream, I just had to see her when we were in Florida last June. I had been reading about the new ship and all of the wonderful amenities it would have. During my reading and researching DCL I read that the Magic would be making NYC it's home port for a portion of 2012. We were thinking of taking a cruise in 2012, but didn't really have the extra money to fly to FL. So, I thought, why not cruise DCL out of NYC?! I knew I'd have to work on DH a bit. He likes Disney, but he's hesitant to cruise with anyone other than RCCL. With all of this excitement, I planned a drive to Port Canaveral last June while we were vacationing in Vero Beach just to see the Dream. She was breathtaking!
As soon as we saw her we knew that cruising on the Magic would be a fantastic idea! As soon as we got home from FL, we logged onto the DCL website and booked a 5-Night New England/Canada cruise on the Magic. I was beyond excited! We hadn't cruised since I was 9 weeks pregnant back in Jan of 2009. So, this is how it all started with a Dream, that became Magic for us!
