Okay so I'm paid in full for my cruise for next July!
However I am unable to choose any port excursions until 75 days out! What are the chances of getting what I want in Rome?
Does anyone have any recommendations for an apartment in Barcelona that sleeps 4px, is close to La Ramblas and has a washer/dryer?
For apartments - we stayed at the Amister Apartments (pelai) - which was a short walk to the Las Ramblas area, and close to a grocery store - also close to the HOHO bus stop and subway. Here is their website: http://en.amisterapartmentspelai.com The place was very clean and quiet. It had a washer with a spin dry and a clothes rack (which we easily did 8 loads with before we got on the ship). We found them by searching reviews on tripadvisor.
In terms of Rome excursions with DCL - last time we were first timers too and the one tour we wanted had no space left (3 of the 8 or so Rome tours were full). We ended up choosing to go on our own (and booking British Airways walking tour). Rome & Monaco were the only days I remember that some of the tours were full.
Just a note for budgeting: The one thing I do remember, is that af all the excursions with DCL - Rome was by far the most expensive. Averaging about $200 per person.
