    6/29/15 Magic to Norway & Iceland

    FYI for sports fans: Wimbledon ends on July 12 in 2015, so it may be an option for post cruise touring. It is within walking distance of a tube stop. We watched the mens final from the hill outside the stadium a couple years ago. Also the British F1 stop may or may not be an option...

    6/29/15 Magic to Norway & Iceland

    In 2010 on the Baltic we used Silver Line Travel. Van for 5 people... Cost at that time was 140 pounds from Pimlico to Dover. We paid 225 pounds on the return trip, but kept the car for an additional 3 hours for touring. We did also tip. They were fine, as I can't remember any problems...

    What time did you disembark at Barcelona?

    We've been on 3 med cruises with Disney and always have been at the airport waiting for our flight by 9:30. This year we had our flight moved on us to 10:30, so we skipped breakfast and got off the ship at the earliest possible time (7:00am), grabbed a taxi, and were to the airport by 8:00 am...

    Time for return flight in Barcelona

    We were on the June 15 sailing. Disney seemed to be concerned about people with flights before 10:30. That said, we skipped breakfast and carried our bags off the ship at 7. Had no wait for a taxi (who was probably going a little too fast :drive:) and good traffic on the way to the...

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

    We spent some time on our 2007 cruise looking for the track in Monaco. It was a couple weeks after the race and some the stands along the waterfront were still up. Beware the pool down there as the kids will definitely get an eyeful! You can see some of the curbing and can easily find the...

    Med Cruisers...Let's Discuss Planning!(Updated Tour Info, Links & BCN Info on Page 1)

    Just 2 comments here for the kids.... Heat and Bathrooms: Weather may be fine, but be prepared for brutal heat. In June 2007 it was well over 100 in Pompeii and people were hopping from shadow to shadow. Not everyplace is air conditioned (including some areas of the Vatican). Unless you...

    If we are taking a Mediteranian Cruise Can We make a 10:50 flight?

    In 2007 we were on a noon flight and were at the airport in plenty of time to try to switch to a 10:30 flight. Again in 2011 we arrived at the aiport with a lot of time to blow for an 11:50. In neither case were we in any great hurry to get off the ship. In both cases we used a taxi from the...

    Louis XIII Rare Cask Cognac

    Attended the cognac tasting on the Dream in October. A shot of the Rare bottle (Black Pearl) was over $1,000. Sounds like they have a celebration with ships officers when anyone orders it. The typical Louis XIII was about $113/shot on the Magic in June.

    Official Castaway Cay 5K Thread

    We ran the 5k last week on the 3 day Dream. Although the cm didn't allow those under 12 to sign up, if they happened to be running along side their parent and happened to pick up a bib from the table the cm said they wouldn't stop them. There were a few close to 12 who ran and some closer to 7...

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

    We actually have a 6 hour layover , so we were considering grabbing a cab to the Hard Rock Toronto. I guess its a long ride, so we're not sure when exactly when we'd get back to the airport. But either there or after would be good. We are in rows 19 & 20 on the right side of the plane.

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

    Leaving on the 12th @5:55....until they change the flight times which seems to happen a lot. Last year we came back through New York. They changed our return trip so that we actually had to land at JFK and somehow make it to Laguardia to complete the trip to Chicago :teleport:....A couple...

    Longer bi-lingual lifeboat drill

    If I were in a non-English speaking country, I would be more than happy to watch the English version on my stateroom TV, rather than force the entire ship to sit through an English version.

    Cheapest way from the port at Rome to city center?

    There is a train station to the right of port entry. The walk isn't that far if you can get a shuttle from the boat there (to port entry). Those shuttles weren't very organized, though. There were train tickets that we used that were also good for the buses and metro in Rome. Don't...

    For Those of you off the 2 night NYC cruise.....

    We just did the 2 day, but only because we were B2B after the 5 day Canada cruise and wanted to finish out the week on board. We would not have booked it as a stand alone cruise. Disney does try to jam a lot of activities into that day and a half. One of the natives said it best as she was...

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

    We prefer the early seating. The older kids like to mix with friends early, and we prefer to go to the later show, and then right into the "Beat Street" entertainment area or hit Cove Cafe. Our servers have told us that we could show up pretty late in the first seating and still be served...

    With all the travelers here who have experience making the trip to the Med with Disney, I thought it would be nice to share tips on what works and doesn’t work—pitfalls and traps – tricks and hints that will help everyone avoid unnecessary hassles (and the boards are slowing down a little)...
