Short but Sweet 6th Aug 2013 Magical Med

[bats]

YAY luggage tags have arrived so not long to go now. No free upgrade unfortunately but I had one last time so it must be someone else's turn.

Not our turn either, but I'm pleased as I love deck 2. We've had PD upgrades before too, so definitely someone elses turn

We have gone for one of the sideways inside cabins. I would much prefer a balcony but I can live with the inside if it means I'm on the ship. I've got the same room booked for the 12 night med next year where we definitely couldn't afford a balcony so this is a test to see if the sideways cabins feel more spacious.

They do .. they're great rooms to have. My sister had one on our first cruise.

30 days to go .. says my countdown! (The 61 is weeks until our wedding cruise .. We have to have that one going too)!

We will be first timers on this cruise - well, first Disney cruise - have cruised P&O before. DD16 & DD14 very excited. I just hope 'Magic' will have the Disney 'magic'. What can anyone tell me about fish extenders.... sounds fun!

With the first ever 4-nights Med Cruise over since yesterday, I've frenetically started to look for the navigators and hope to see them available soon ... Will keep you posted as soon as I find them but in the meantime if you see them before me, please let us know ! Thanks !

Hi, welcome to the boards, you will love disney but unfortunately it's spoils you and other cruise lines may never be enough

We haven't got a fish extender exchange arranged for this cruise. You need a really active meets group to get enough people involved, this one has been a bit slow. I suspect there will be a lot of first timers and Spanish on the ship so many might not know about disboards. You usually have a cutoff date about a month out so that everyone has time to make or buy gifts so I don't think there will be much interest so late on.

If you love the cruise, make an onboard booking (saving 10%) for your next one and get straight on the meets board to arrange an FE for next time. They are really fun but can be hard work. The longer cruises tend to get more interest.

That's it guys ! One more week to wait and we'll be sailing the Med !! So looking forward to it !! Managed to get an upgrade (from 11a to 10c) for about £5 less !! Not sure how this is possible but pretty pleased with it !

We go to the airport on Monday evening to dump our bags and stay in a hotel ... it starts the holiday off an extra day early!!
I've got so much to do between now and then .. started a new job a couple of weeks ago so that's keeping me really busy with late hours. I'm seriously not sure I'll get packed in time so please take some spare stuff for me!!!

I am no where near ready and travel to the airport hotel on Saturday afternoon. I have been keeping a suitcase of holiday clothes for a few weeks but because of the good weather both DH and DD have been dipping in to it constantly so I will probably still be washing on Saturday morning. But I have just finished my last shift at work so I can relax slightly and get in to holiday mode.
