That's pretty much what we'll have in Seattle at that time. I love our late summer nights!

 

[Melcatfish]

Thanks for those times Debs, how lovely it will be to have nice long light days

PS Were there fireworks on the previous Baltic cruises? Seems unlikely, they would have to be very late!

 

[Deb T.]

Unfortunately, there are no fireworks on the Northern European cruises.

 

[krisinparis]

Bummer about the fireworks, but having so many hours of daylight will be great!!

We just got back from our three week vacation in Florida. We also took our first Disney Cruise on the Magic April 28 - May 2, 4 night Bahama Cruise. And we're hooked.
We booked this cruise on the ship. Closer to our home country The Netherlands so next time we will be driving instead of flying in...

[Zwerch]

Hey from Germany !

We are also Geocacher and we want to earn more "Country-Points" on this tour.
But we don't need any recommendations for UK, we are frequently in Canterbury.

It will be our third cruise with DCL.

I just posted this info on Page 1:

NICKNAME OUR CRUISE CONTEST!
There’s no question this will be a great cruise with great cruisers, and every great cruise needs a nickname! ReadingFC (Paul) has compiled a list of name options from our fellow cruisers, and now it's time to vote for your favorite nickname (see the new Poll above!). Voting ends on Wednesday, 21May2014. Grand Prize for the winning name contestant is a large Cadbury’s Dairy Milk candy bar, graciously provided by Paul! (Thanks, for doing this contest, Paul!)

Zwerch!

<snip> On the way back from Avebury I stopped at Lacock which was a cute little village and used in some of the Harry Potter films. If I remember correctly, the Lacock Abbey was the the inspiration for Hogwarts and they filmed some shots there as well.

DS2 has been doing work experience in Lacock this week so after dropping him off this morning I took some photos of the Abbey and village.




The abbey was used in Harry Potter filming and the village is used in lots of period dramas.

 

[Deb T.]

Wow! What a beautiful place! Thanks so much for sharing those photographs!
