Hola!! (I'm practicing my Spanish!)
Dropping by to say hello and introduce myself. My boys are very excited about the Med cruise. I will be excited after all the planning for shore excursions are done!!
Our party consists of 7: Buddwaur - (Sophia), DH (Robert), DS (Nikos, age 16), DS (Zack, age 14), DS (Mikey, age 12). Also traveling with us will be my twin sister (Tia) and my mom (Eleni). We are from the Raleigh area. Two staterooms on deck 2 and Second seating.
Will be reading up on this thread to see all the wonderful information that is available. A big thank you to everyone who has done research and shared all their findings!
This will be our 4th Disney cruise: we have done the 7 night Eastern and 7 night Western Caribbean on the Magic and we have done a 5 night Bahama cruise which had a double dip to CC on the Dream.
Everyone is excited to be going to the Mediterranean onboard the Magic!! The Dream is a beautiful ship but we found it too crowded and at times loud!
At this time, we are PIF, our plane tickets booked, our pre-cruise hotel booked at the Hilton Diagnol and transfers from the hotel to the port.
My to do list includes: finding transfers from the airport to the hotel; we are thinking about doing a half day Barcelona tour on the day we disembark and just being dropped off at the airport at the end of the tour. The biggie on my list is planning the shore excursions...I typically don't like to be on a "schedule" while on vacation but in the case of arranging shore excursions we will need to be up and ready to go early!
Hubby doesn't want to have long days touring at every port as he is worried that the boys will become burned out touring ruins. My mother traveling with us is in her 70s so too many long days walking around will be too much for her. So, at this point I feel overwhelmed trying to plan out shore excursions that accommodate everyone's needs!!
Well, it's getting late and I must get some zzzz's! Kalinuxta everyone!! (Greek for Good night! My Greek I won't have to practice as Im fluent and have spent many summers on the islands!)
