The time is almost here for us to be able to book excursions and Palo...Can't wait for this "Magic"al cruise!!!

hi all - I was wondering whether anyone who is already able to book excursions could do me a favour please?

I am wanting to book the Easy Pisa tour and I was wanting to know what time the excursions are available for - I believe in 2011 there was a morning and afternoon option but I was hoping to find out exact timings if I can (for some reason I think that this is something you see when the booking window opens - but I might be wrong!)

Plus - Does anyone know a way of finding out where the Rome on your own tour drops off and picks up? I am not brave enough to do Rome totally on our own, despite reading numerous reports to say how easy the trains are - so my compromise was going to be to use the DIY DCL option - but in order to plan my day, it would be really helpful to know where the meet points are.

Many thanks for any help

Thanks Mel, I'll check it out

With regards to the fish extender exchange - would it be a pain to ask which country everyone is from? I have some gift ideas which might be novel for some - but less interesting for any of my British friends!

Ps - this will seem like a strange question, but was anyone else on the same cruise back in 2011 (August 20th to be precise)? The reason I ask is because I was quite pleased with the FE gifts I gave that year & would repeat them if I knew no one had received them from me before!

 

[ThePicketts]

Amy, we're Americans who have lived in the UK for 9 years and would be happy to receive whatever is on your heart to give

Joining you on this August 31 sailing are my mom, Mary Lou (from North Carolina) and my sister Patty (from Los Angeles) Wish I was going along since I am the Disney guru in the family!!
This is their first Disney cruise and I've been helping them comb these boards and cruise critic for answers to all their questions.

In the meantime, they have booked excursions through Rome in Limo for a Rome Highlights Tour on 9/4 and an Amalfi Coast, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello tour on 9/5. Both tours have room for six more people and the price would be under 100 euro per person for the 9 hour tour with driver and guide. The Rome Highlights tour also includes a private guide for the Vatican. If you are interested let us know as they are hoping to fill up the group!
