We’re stopping in three ports and making those evenings and fun days at sea a blast with tons of Magic: The Gathering events judged by top notch judges, lots of open gaming and play with various formats and great prizes, not to mention some sage advice and fun from Magic: The Gathering icons.  On the open nights, we’ll check out some of the ship’s entertainment as a group, or you can venture off to try something new!  We will also organize some group excursions at the ports for those who want to experience the different locations as a group.
