Hey Mary,

I arrived to this party late....silly me. It was great meeting you and Dan...it was so much fun pre cruise and during cruise with you. I wrote a trip report as we were on the ship on DH's ipad. He's currently adding pictures...I don't know that I will publish it here, but I may do it privately, since I wrote about some adventures that only the meditteranean mouseketeers could understand.

Miss everyone...wish we were still there. On another note, saw Lori and Family for dinner last night...it's neat having new friends living so close.

Sorry I have delayed this but life and school have got in the way. I have started blogging about the experience (and hope to have it finished by the end of January).

Just got an email that the thread was re-activated...read your blog entry and can't wait to read more

Probably our best family vacation ever

Reading about your cold rainy days in Paris reminds me of when we got back to Germany after the cruise and it was cold and rainy and we had on shorts and T's and were freezing after all the hot days we had on the trip!

We are going to Paris next month for my birthday and we're still planning a Baltic cruise this Summer although nothing is booked yet. If I knew Disney was doing the Baltic in 2012, I would wait for that but right now we are looking at NCL....

Hope you and Dan are doing well, it was such fun to meet you guys

Hi Shawn! We are doing great... Just crazy with school as usual lol! I hope you guys aredoing well. Paris is so beautiful, have fun.

I too would love if DCL would go back to the Baltic. Let us know how the cruise goes.

So sorry you got pickpocketed in Barcelona

I am always telling my friends here that I know someone who got pickpocketed and to be careful there!

Our room was directly under the dance floor of Rockin' Bar D and if we were in the room late at night we could hear the music well enough to identify the song as well as all the stomping (sounded like to us!) of the people on the dance floor! Luckily, they did not stay open too late and we were so tired every night anyway!

Great trip report so far

Shawn

Just found this now. Thanks for sharing! I fantasized about going on this cruise, I always wanted to do it but between teaching school and going to graduate school, the time wasn't right. Hope to hear more when life isn't so hectic!! <3

Glad to see you've started updating the blog again! It's like going on the cruise all over again!

Mary, what hotel did you stay at in Paris? We are having a hard time finding one to accomodate 3, in good area, not too expensive, not too tiny that has good reviews!

Thanks!
Shawn

ETA: Oops.....sorry, I just found the name on your blog!

We stayed at the Hotel Dusquenne Eiffel. It's in the 7th by the tower and a ton of good restauraunts. It was like a 10 min walk to the tower, and some of the rooms have tower views. I think the superior rooms must be pretty decent in size because ours was a standard (but I am not sure the bed configurations...they may have 2 doubles?), and while it was small it was not the smallest I ahve ever been in. The price were great too! I know there are quite a few good ones in that area. It's where the emabssies are and it's a bit resedential so it is not super touristy which was nice. Also Rue Cler food market was so great.

PS I don't know if you want to stay at an American chain or a boutique french hotel...but there is also a hilton I believe with tower views which is supposed to be nice, and they probably have family friendly accomadations.
