| We were worried about finding the ship - it wasn't a problem, it as quite visible from the road (and very distinctive). | The inside of DCL's beautiful cruise terminal. |
Denise checking in. The Magic can be seen through the windows. | An impressive cutaway model of the ship. |

Although here, the employee is standing on a representation of Disney World. | Denise waiting to enter through Mickey's ears. | Herding through the turnstiles, only minutes away from entering the ship. | Standing in front of our room #6100. |

| The Disney Magic from the top of the tower. | The view from the top of the tower was spectacular, but we only had a few minutes up there to enjoy it. | The Queens Staircase - beautiful, but lined with vendors. | 360 degree panorama at Topsiders buffet overlooking the Bahamas. The stitching of the photos is not smooth, but worth looking at. |

| The wonderful view of Nassau from our verandah. | The Disney Magic dwarfing the Big Red Boat. | A horse and buggy in Nassau. | The mushroom appetizer was fine, but a burger at Plutos would have been more to my preference (elegant dining and Denise don't mix well). :-) |

| The calamari appetizer at Palos (Jan says it tastes like chicken). | Palos boasts a 270 degree view of the ocean (on this day, the Bahamas). Not every seat is near a window, however. | On the way back to the room (to put some real clothes on), we stopped for a photo at Beat Street. | An evening shot in front of the Magic docked in Nassau. The Big Red Boat had left by now. |

| The Disney Magic docked at Castaway Cay. | Posing at Mount Rustmore. | The water at Castaway Cay was beautiful, and warm by afternoon, but the storm approaching changed plans for a swim. | The airplane runway (now helicopter pad) that leads to the adult beach. This is a long walk, take the tram or a bike. |

| Airplane at the adult beach end of the runway. | 360 degree panorama of Castaway Cay from the family beach. It will take a few minutes to load, but it is worth it. It's the best panorama of the bunch with a nice zoom range. | Jan meets Goofy! | Tom, our assistant server. He was extremely attentive to detail. |
