    March 12, 2016 Disney Fantasy Eastern Caribbean (Tortola, St. Thomas, Castaway Cay)

    Just moved our cruise over from a summer European 2015 cruise this week. Myself Sean(48), wife Crystal (38), daughter Daytona (13) and son Geoffrey (10). Any other girls around that age. My daughter is quite upset she will be one month too old to go to her beloved Lab. Has never liked the Edge.

    Magic cruises Dover to Barcelona August 3-10, 2015

    Unfortunately we are cancelling. My mother suffered a mini-stroke last month and while the prognosis is very good we can't take a trip this big. We are hoping that my mother will be well enough to move the cruise to Alaska where we can leave from her home in Vancouver. Luckily we had not booked...

    Disney has priced us out.

    Thanks for the info. We have read about NCL food and entertainment and that is fine. As long as the food is passable. The kids clubs are well received. It was the itinerary that got us. Some wonderful places we visited with Disney last year and then add Instanbul, Naples and Venice and they got us.

    Magic cruises Dover to Barcelona August 3-10, 2015

    We have dropped out of the back to back portion of this cruise, the 5 day Barcelona to Barcelona cruise. We are going to go on the NCL 12 day Grand Mediterranean proceeding this instead because it is about the same price as the 5 day and went to better ports. We will still be on this cruise.

    August 10, 2015 - 5 day Mediterranean Cruise

    We are out too. We have decided to do a 12 Day NCL cruise preceeding the London to Barcelona cruise rather than the 5 day Disney cruise after because they are almost the same price. We will get to see Naples, Istanbul and Venice for the first time on NCL. Have a great time all.

    Disney has priced us out.

    I guess we are in the priced out crowd. We are going on a 12 day NCL Med cruise that is less than $100 more than a 5 day Disney Med Cruise. We are still going to do the seven day repositioning cruise from London to Barcelona which for some reason is less than the five day cruise as well...

    Hotels in Barcelona, how do you book with children?

    We stayed at Aparthotel Aura Park in the burbs. It took a little while to get into Barcelona but it is right on the metro. Nice rooftop pool and spacious rooms. Good restaurants around. I would stay again...

    Washington (State) Suggestions after Disney cruise

    North Cascades National Park would be my choice. As far as sightseeing can't think of anything else.

    Magic cruises Dover to Barcelona August 3-10, 2015

    We had early seating in Europe last year then requested a server. We arrived on the boat and were told they changed us to late because of the server request. We thought it would be a disaster but it worked out great with all of the last excursions and the kids(10,7) held up great.

    Gluten Free Eating on Disney Cruise

    Perfect description. The Magic and Wonder have been absolutely fine too. I have a celiac wife and two kids that are sensitive to Gluten. The only thing I can add is you can go see the dining room manager when you board and arrange the first night's meal in advance.

    Magic cruises Dover to Barcelona August 3-10, 2015

    The pirate night is not really ideal. The third straight day of touring and then 9:45. A lot of kids will not make it. Kids need a certain amount of sleep they can not do without. I can't see my 8 year old making it.

    NCL from the nitty gritty DIS perspective.

    I had a double dip to Castaway Cay cancelled last year on the Wonder too.

    Help me choose my Alaska excursions in July

    The city was very industrial and dirty. Not nearly as scenic as Skagway or Juneau. It was also a tourist trap. Nothing really seemed authentic. If I went back I would definately take the float plane trip to Misty Fjords.

    Help me choose my Alaska excursions in July

    Ketchican was far and away the worst of the 14 ports I have been to with Disney. People came back raving about Misty Fjords though. Choice No 2 no hesitation.

    New cruise magnets for car

    Yes, are neighbor on our last cruise had a bunch of neat stuff stolen off their door. We thought a bunch of our magnets had been stolen too but our stateroom host took them off and put them on the inside of the door because they had a bunch of problems.

    Could DCL ever do a cruise that included Scotland/and or castles?

    The repo cruise from Dover to Barcelona gives you access to a couple of castles in Vigo and Lisbon(Sintra).
