    Northern Sights & Mickey's MAGICal Delights - 1st Baltic cruise - June 12,2010

    Of course it's Batlic! Isn't this the Vampire version of the Blarney stone (as in BAT - LIC)? :lmao: I realize this is the "off-season" for Bat-lic cruises. All that light can be QUITE annoying (and downright deadly). But still, a cruise to the BATLIC! :banana: DD is really hoping they'll...

    There may be an issue since Dulles is in the United States. I'd recommend you just call your frequent flyer program (United, right?) and tell them what you'd like to do. Even though you can't book yet, they can tell you what United allows. Sue

    You can generally re-deposit your miles back into your account for a fee. It depends on the airline and what type of ticket you "purchased" through your miles. On your other question - and this is where mileage really shines vs. $ - you can book one open jaw and one stopover. For our trip...

    Book quickly! I used Delta miles for the Med trip last year and it was a nightmare. I was trying for business class though, so that might make a difference. DM and I called each morning for about a week before we finally got something somewhat close to what we wanted. Sue

    Tammy, I'm sorry about your husband. What an awful ordeal. It sounds as if you're doing all the right things to help both you and your children heal. I know that it can't be easy - and I'm sure there are days when you'd like to throw in the towel - or say I'm just not STRONG enough for...

    Another cruise line (I won't mention any names here) has an excursion to Moscow as part of their St. Petersburg offering. They are in port for a similar time as Disney. Don't forget about the Visas though. If you're planning on your own tour, you'll need to handle visas too. Jeanne, DCL...

    I just might be at WDW the same time everyone else is! I'll be there from the 5th through the 7th. I'd love to meet all of you. :banana: Sue

    With my DD (she'll be 9 during the cruise) we have to do early seating now. You're welcome to come sit with us if you like. Just don't tell my DD. She just LOVES the kids club, but when we had a large set of dinner guests she REFUSED to eat dinner at the club for fear she's miss something...

    There was only 1 formal night. I think there may have been 2 semi-formals though. Or maybe I was dressing for 1 semi and Palo's. Yes. The litho was the best! There was also special stuff for the kids. They had a fantastic leather book. You got a pamphlet that went in it for each port...

    Northern Sights & Mickey's MAGICal Delights - 1st Baltic cruise - June 12,2010

    Non-refundable, yes. But moveable. The deposit that I used for this cruise was originally a rebooking done back in 2006 for a September 2007 Eastern sailing in a Cat 3. I later moved that deposit to the Sept. 5 night on the wonder (2008) since we went to the Med in 2007. As the time...

    Just heard from my TA that if you are planning excursions on your own in St. Petersburg that you have to get a Russian visa. But if you're using DCL excursions, then you don't need one. I wonder if this is why RCCL's list of excursions for St. Petersburg includes so many private car/van...

    Northern Sights & Mickey's MAGICal Delights - 1st Baltic cruise - June 12,2010

    In the Med, excursions averaged about $150pp. It was difficult to find anything lower than $100. You can check pricing over at RCCL to give you an idea what are the typical "adult" tourist things to do - and their prices. Disney will put their unique spin on excursions though. We found...

    :worship: :banana: :worship: Yes, yes, yes, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! Last time I was on a cruise with you, I couldn't go (geesh, I don't even REMEMBER why now, but I'm sure it had something to do with DD). I definitely don't want to miss it this time!!! Sue I remember why now...

    I love the idea of scrapbooking swap. I'm more of a scrapbooker "wanna-be". I've only managed to make a few pages but I certainly love to BUY scrapbooking stuff! :rotfl: We recently went on a cruise with another line and they have a scrapbooking class. They handed out everything you needed...

    It's OFFICIAL!!! We're booked. It'll be the standard crew, DM (a.k.a. Nana), DD7 (9 on cruise) and me! :banana: :banana: We'll be with a bunch of others on deck 7. At least I won't have to run downstairs to do laundry! Definitely miss having a suite, but at these $$$$ I decided it was...

    Northern Sights & Mickey's MAGICal Delights - 1st Baltic cruise - June 12,2010

    Great to hear from you!!! DCL ended up refunding us for both the Pompeii part and the non-trip to Capri - as well as the extra for the "rough" crossing to Sorrento, so it ended up being only about $30. I LOVE Bibbidty Bobidty Baltics!!!! I would have voted for that one if it was on the...

    Last night I watched the Samanth Brown segment on Copenhagen. Apparently the Little Mermaid statue is miles from anywhere, is really little, and (in her mind) isn't worth seeing. She said there is nothing else around there, so you can't even make a day out of it. Food for thought. Also...

    Can't you just book as if you both were NOT using points? Then you'd only have to pay the deposit for each of you - which is tons cheaper than one person with cash. THEN, change it later - when you have more $$$? Sue
