As we were booking our FLT, the price went from $775 to $889...

Two carry-on bags per person, in addition to one small personal item, such as small hand bag or laptop. The maximum weight allowed for each carry-on bag is 10kg (22lbs).


Hope this helps

We booked this last week and are super excited. We are a family of four with myself (Aaron) my DW Karen and our two DSs Will (10) and Zack (8) from Oklahoma! Go Thunder! This is our second Disney cruise...first on he Magic...and the first time we've been to Europe as a family! I love the recipe postcard idea! Count us in! I look forward to hearing all the tips and news about the cruise and destinations. Thank you for putting this, the website and the Facebook page together!

We booked this cruise on our Alaskan cruise a week ago. Can not wait for it!~

Got home from the 12 night Venice trough the Greek Isles to Barcelona cruise about 3 hours ago. While on the cruise hubby said picked the 15 night East Bound TA, over the 12 night northern cruise for next summer. (I booked them both opening day) I just added this cruise to make the EBTA a Back to Back cruise and will cancel the 12 night down the road. The flights from the west coast are misery for our old bones.

Well hello. DH and I have been booked on this cruise since day 1, and we will be doing a B2B with the 6/6 Norwegian fjord cruise. I purchased airfare to Copenhagen tonight, so now it is feeling real and like it's ok to allow myself to get excited.

When do you think DCL will make their mind up about going to St. Petersburg?

Because it's the middle cruise, I will still go. I'm thinking the fighting is further south, but the cruise is far enough away that things could change. I am hoping for the best, but prepared that we might not get there.

Just booked this cruise for my DH, DS (will turn 4 in Helsinki!), DD (9 mondde2f), MIL and FIL. Our second cruise on the Magic (first in Europe) and the in-laws first. Glad to see there are others with young kiddos. Might be a bit crazy to bring the 9 mon old but have been traveling with our firstborn since he was 6 weeks and he's a rock star...fingers crossed she shares that gene. Not doing B2B (super jealous) but planning on spending 2-3 days in Copenhagen pre-cruise and possibly traveling to Oslo/doing some Fjords for 4-5 days post-cruise. Anyone else started looking at Norway as an add-on and have a suggestion where to start planning? So flipping excited to really get planning. Would also be interested in the recipe exchange if someone is organizing! Contemporary ('87), All-Star Music ('98), Polynesian ('99), All-Star Sports ('00), All-Star Music ('02), Pop Century ('04), Offsite ('08), Animal Kingdom Lodge ('09), All-Star Movies ('12), Disney Magic ('13), Bay Lake Tower ('14), Animal Kingdom Lodge ('14), Disney Magic ('15)

seems to me, being our cruise is 9 months away, that congratulations are in order for a newborn!

Been booked since day one, with b2b on 6/6 cruise. Vacation has now been approved and airfare purchased. Flying out of DC on iceland air with a few days in Iceland prior to embarking. We will spend one day in Copenhagen post cruise since there will be little time to see the city prior.

I am a fan of Iceland air and love the idea of breaking up the trip half way through time zones.

Thanks! Any day now we'll be meeting our new little one. Seeing that we're headed to WDW in 6 weeks we have our fingers crossed that she shares the rest of the family's disney love and cooperates!

DVC members since 2013! WDW: CR('87), ASM('98), Poly('99), AS Sport('00), ASM('02), offsite('08), AKL('09), ASMo('12), BLT('14), AKL('14) DL: offsite('97) DCL: Magic('13), Magic('15)

Here's hoping the volcano doesn't blow next May...! Our stop in Iceland might be more than we bargained for!

We just booked out flights with points (yay!) so it's starting to get more "real" We only booked the flights to and from London so far (we are planning to spend some time there after the cruise) and still have to book the European flights.

Are we still planning the postcard/recipe exchange? I wonder how many we might need. It's easier to find postcards here in the summer so I'm going to pick some up soon.

We told the kids the other day...Getting excited!!

 

[Emzed]

Does anyone know if there will be a character breakfast on this cruise? There are only two "at sea" days but our day in Helsinki only begins at noon. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Sorry to jump in..


I live in London and recently went on a 12 night Med cruise on the Magic and sailed the Baltic on DCL in 2010.

We didn't have a character breakfast on our amend cruise or the Baltic there too port inclusive people have a lay in on sea days, we had four full sea days no character breakfast, you may get a character princess gala to book as a shore trip at Catherine's palace in Dt Petersburg, will cost a lot but for kids great.

I am on the 7/22 12 night Baltic, if anyone has questions re the Baltic where I gave booked five private tours already, and London as I work in and around all of a London pop by the 7/22 thread!, recent photos of the Magic and navigators on our 12 night cruise are in my link below, whilst a different cruise they give an indication of sea day activities in Europe.

I would love to see what kinds of Port Adventures DCL offers for the Baltic cruise. If you can post some that would be great!
