Who's in for GREECE and TURKEY, June 15 2003????

[Boomerang4]

Hi! This is the FINAL FE Exchange listing! I have received all GTY stateroom numbers and the listing is complete!

The spreadsheet can be found here...

See Ya Real Soon! (really!)

I was hoping to have the boys help us deliver, and really liked the graphic someone did earlier in the thread, with the five stateroom decks and FE participants circled in red.

Is that up to date? Who posted it, would love to have the visual aid for the boys. (for the boys, really )

Searching like crazy and can't find that post. Anyone know it?

Travelbee is the one who put that together. Here's the link, but I don't know if it's been updated with the Final list.

The only thing I've updated was long_time_cruiser's cabin # and changed the Disname from the previous DISer to Momof34Man. I have not gone through the final FE list to see if there were other changes.

Thanks! That map is so helpful!

Again, folks, Jennifer and Mark should be in the Deb in IA cabin (8002), and not with Michael in 7631.

And we don't have Madison, Henry and Scarlett.

Are you all seeing this, at the bottom of page 2 and top of page 3 in lllpath's sheet?

Just wait a little while and I will check the spreadsheet. things may have shifted incorrectly when I moved long_time_cruiser to deck 6. I cannot do it until I get home from work.

Packing for DS done. Packing for DD mostly done. Packing for DH tonight. FE gifts almost done. 2 1/2 days of school left. 4 days until we are on our way!!!

Wishing everyone well these last few days. See you soon!

Apparently when I moved long_time_cruiser to Deck 6, things in the spreadsheet shifted incorrectly.

I believe that this version is accurate and should be the version for use on the cruise.

I have made a form to capture stateroom upgrades for the FE exchange. I will have it at the meet on the 15th but if folks can't get to the meet, I will roll it and place it on our Fish (stateroom 7066) for folks to update and others to check. I will leave it up there for a couple of days.

Thanks LLLPath - we do appreciate you taking on this job! I somehow got the short straw for the June 27th cruise. I'm excited about participating in the FE's - it's so fun to find treasures waiting at the door - the boys love it, yes, even as teenagers! I like, too, that it gives me a reason to wander around the ship on the floors that are mostly just cabins - I love looking at the door decorations, but without something in my hand to deliver, I feel a bit stalkerish

For those interested in going to the Magic Fountains on Friday night, June 14th, the 9:00 PM show is Remix Disney. Here are the rest of the shows.

From the Renaissance Barcelona, we will take the metro, L3, from the Passeig de Garcia station to the Placa Espanya station. Here's the metro map online. The nearest metro stop to the hotel is the Passeig de Garcia where lines 3 and 4 meet. And while I'm at it, here's info about fares. It seems that because the route is all within Zone 1 that we can use a T10 card for 9,80 Euro for our family (and have two uses left over) rather than paying 2 euro per person each way (which would be 16 euro round trip for the 4 of us). The T10 card gives you 10 uses and can be shared among your group, so you just have to be careful putting it in and out of the machine.

It looks like we should allow about 30-45 minutes to get there with plenty of tie to spary (it may be pretty busy) from the hotel to include time to walk to the metro stop (which is very close to the hotel), purchase required metro tix (we may go get ours earlier in the day), getting to the stop, and then walking to the fountains from the metro stop, so I'd say if we leave the Renaissance Barcelona no later than 8:00 pm, we should be there in plenty of time for the Remix Disney show at 9:00 PM. It looks like the next performance starts at 9:17 PM so we can still be back to our respective hotels and apartments before we turn into pumpkins ala Cinderella's coach.

So does that sound like a good plan, or does someone have other suggestions (I'm open, I had originally planned to just ask the concierge at the hotel for the best way to do it but tonight I was working on our Barcelona details and had the Streetwise Map out and saw how easy it looked). Feel free to jump in with your experience or other information we may have overlooked. Can't wait to be there next week!!!!

I am new to the group and I have been reading many of the posts, so I felt I should post something. My mom, my daughter (16), and I can't wait to to fly out and start our vacation. We have cruised many times with DCL, but have never cruised in the Med so we are excited.

Thanks for all the great posts.

Welcome Malikah. We have a really fun group here. Are you on Facebook? We have a fun group there as well. If you're on Facebook look us up.

I will look on Facebook tonight! I am just so ready to pack and leave. DD has school until Friday and I will be working from home until then.

Here's a YouTube video of the Barcelona Metro L3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-uy5FqaHi8

For those of you unsure and hesitant about Barcelona at night, it's a beautiful city with wonderful helpful people.

We stayed two blocks from the Magic Fountain in 2010 for the MedCruise. It's so nice. Warm. Just be aware of your surroundings at all times. We had a great time. We were 3 families with a total of 11 people including 5 children and 2 grandparents.

Great experience! We are staying in la Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample neighborhood this time.

Very excited. We might even walk back to our apt. It's 20 mins. from the fountains.

Thanks Connie, Cindy, and IIIPath.

Lots of hard work.
