Thanks for stopping by to check out my most recent cruise review. This time we sailed on the Carnival Magic out of Port Canaveral, Florida and what made this cruise particularly “Magical” was that we were cruising with our dear friends, The Saunders Family. Here is a little background on this cruise with the Asmus family trio (Sharon, Jamie, and Matthew)….We had planned this cruise over a year ago with our longtime friends. We met the Saunders family on the Carnival Valor in March of 2006. We cruised back then with 2 of our older daughters Melissa and Brittany and it was Matthew’s 1st cruise, he was 13 months old. We were very nervous when we saw that our dinner table was for 10 people. We had never been seated with others before and all kinds of thoughts were running through our heads about who these people would be. The Saunders family consists of Marti, EJ and they have three daughters which are now Samantha 22 and twins Sydney and Sarah that are 18. We ended up enjoying their company so much at dinner that by the end of the week we decided to spend our last port day in St. Maarten together at the beach. We had so much fun and have continued our friendship over the years with daily text messages, etc…We also continue to cruise together every couple of years. Now that the kids are getting older we are hoping to cruise together more frequently. This was our 10th year anniversary cruise from when we met as well as the twins graduation cruise so we had big plans for a lot of memories and there were a few good ones to put in the books…..We originally were booked on the Breeze but with the repositioning of some ships we changed to the Magic which we were also all on together 3 years ago. We were excited to hear that the Magic went in for dry dock and came out with the 2.0 upgrades along with the new Pig & Anchor which I might add was amazing. We were stopping at 4 ports, Amber Cove which was new for us, St. Thomas, San Juan, and Grand Turk with 2 sea days. So on to my story/review….
