Controversial Topics Several months ago, I added a private sub-forum to allow members to discuss these topics without fear of infractions or banning. It's opt-in, opt-out. Corey Click Here
I believe the cost of the upgrade depends on how many days your trip is.
We were on a 12 day. I had pre bought 5 rain days (and had an exotic rasul booked but not paid). I paid around $200 more. Which then made my rasul complimentary.
My husband and I used it everyday - sometimes separate...
We got the day pass (pre cruise) and upgraded to the couples VIP in mid July. There was no auto gratuity on either of these services (they did have optional available). Auto gratuity was in effect for other services because I paid it with my massages.
In 2011 VAT was not added on top of excursion fees (DCL explained that it was already calculated into the cost and therefore built into the price). VAT was charged on gift shop items, bar drinks,, smoothies, snacks and photos.
ONE Month from now we will be in Rome!
It has been a crazy couple of months. On this relaxing Father's Day (Happy Father's Day to all the dads!), I am going to sit down and try and finish up my FE.
The FE suitcase is empty and ready to go. All I want to do is label and pack it away so...
So this must be a newly implemented change? It's funny, the last time I went to the Med they implemented the automatic room tips too....It must be me.
This is what my letter said:
We are truly glad that you will be sailing with us soon.
Our records indicate that you, or a member of...
Okay - please don't hate me that I am asking a tipping question. I pour over these boards night and day and I must have missed this in all the gratuity questions. :confused3 So here it goes:
I just received an email from DCL that an automatic 18% will be added to my bill at the end of my...
Just a heads up...45 days is the old reservation dates for the Tower of Pisa. It has been changed to "between a maximum of 20 days and a minimum of 12 days prior to the date of the visit, subject to availability"
Hope this helps you so you aren't checking all the time for the dates to open up.
I have been checking everyday and there was nothing there this morning. Thank you for the heads up.
No upgrade on our GTY -- but it is really close to our other two cabins so that is great!
Please do share - the more information everyone can have the better their trip will be! Enjoy your trip next week!
53 days until I'm boarding at the Port - I can't wait.:cool1:
I just heard back from the Tourism Office at Villefranche-sur-mer regarding Fete Nationale events in the port. Here is the translation of the email:
"I am sorry all the festivities take place on July 13th in Villefranche sur mer. I encourage you to contact Nice (www.nicetourisme.com) to...
Well, I have taken a break from my Med planning....but the countdown is on. Only 6 weeks until we leave!!!

I have to share this great link for anyone going into Villefranche-sur-mer:

I have bad news for you. I was on the Villefranche website last night - they are having their boat illumination and fireworks display & Fete Nationale Ball on the evening before (Saturday, July 13th). The day before we get there.
All they have listed for the day we are there is "Fete...
There are two things they could be talking about:
1. Booking flights directly with Disney Cruise Line. This way DCL will ensure that you make the flights & the cruise portion and you don't have any hassle. You need to do this directly with your cruise reservation. Some have found it more...
Welcome to the DISboards! And to the July 13th sailing to Greece & Turkey on the Magic meet thread. Ask away on a post....there is always someone that knows an answer or will find out!:thumbsup2
Welcome!
If my boys bump into you I warn you they will be pumping you for Penguins scoop....they are huge fans. My eldest (DS-12) can't wait to go to Pittsburgh to see a game (and my youngest (DS-4) can't wait to go to the zoo!).
I just peeked on the DCL website and you are correct that it is up to 12 pax in a mini-bus for $429. And you only book under one name. So that would mean that's the total not per person.
Glad you made out okay this morning!

I mentioned before that I was working on my Fish Extender gifts. Well, last time we had a lot of girls under 10, so I was going to try my hand at Princess Hair Ribbons this time around. But as I mentioned - there are not many kids under 10 this time round.
So I have to share the patterns...
Hey thanks for the great compliment. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner.
To get to the Playmobil Factory - I have contacted several different car services (the airport ones) by email - for a mini-bus for 10 of us it was only 20 Euros each way. Here is a great site (that I used) that...
