    We have been 3 times over Christmas/New Year, generally arriving on 26th or 27th December and staying for 10 days and it is absolutely my favourite time to go. Yes it's busy but with a bit of planning you will have a ball. We've never waited more than 20 minutes for anything even during...

    We live in the UK and travel to mainland Europe a lot - we have always worn shorts (often times I will wear capris but this is less to do with fashion and more the fact that I haven't got great legs :lmao: but DD and DH are always in shorts) I can't stress how hot it will be walking around...

    July 20th, 2011 – 10 Night Mediterranean "Mickey's European Explorers"

    I know what you mean - Niamh's social life puts ours to shame :lmao: Are we the only Scottish contingent? Maybe we could have a mini Dismeet in Glasgow! Sorry I've not been on the boards much -we've had such a hectic few months. Niamh's hip has been playing up again and we've been back and...

    Problems Pre Paying Tips for TA

    We haven't tried to pre-pay tips or wine package but we did phone up a couple of weeks ago and put $800 on our on-board account (we got a great rate and the amount that came off our bank account was around £450 -we thought it would be around £500 so it was a pleasant surprise) - we plan to put...

    July 20th, 2011 – 10 Night Mediterranean "Mickey's European Explorers"

    Hi Helen, I'm not sure as we've never booked Palo before, but am thinking it might work if your reservations are linked. My mum and dad are coming with us and this is their first cruise but we will be doing Palo seperately so I haven't looked into this. Katie

    Who has stayed on Deck 1 on Magic???

    On our first cruise we were on deck 1 and had absolutely no problems at all - rooms do not run the length of the ship so it's a quiet corridor which is good. On our last cruise we were on deck 6 which we liked too but I hnoesty wouldn't say it was massively better other than we could walk up to...
