[DEADEA]

Yes, we are booked!!

 

[Hockeychic]

Yipeeeee, so glad we aren't cruising alone.

We have a inside on deck 6. I would love a balcony but those prices are not in my budget

Look forward to chatting and sharing information over the next 15 months

I'll have to check out this cruise! We really wanted to do a European cruise with Disney but aren't sure of the best one or when we will have the money saved up. I'd love to do one in 2015. I'll keep my eye on this one! We're also nervous about getting seasick as we've never been in a cruise. So many factors, but perhaps we will be there too!!! Have fun planning!

Jeremy and Andreana with DD Geordie (10) and DS Finn (8).

Ironically I have booked this while in Helsinki for work. Very excited to come back here in 15 months with the children.

We are keen to see what excursions Disney will offer. Based on the 2010 cruise stories we would also consider doing a non-Disney excursion (or two) with families with similar aged kids. Drop me a line if interested.

We are also up for the FE!

Bring it on ...

I just checked it out and it sounds fantastic! Which one are you doing? How many nights?

 

[DCLShel]

We booked yesterday! Shelly, Lance (DH) and DD Kiley (16 at time of sailing). We are on Deck 5 in one of the Secret Porthole rooms. We've been waiting for DCL to go back to the Baltic so we're really excited!

We looked at the 7 nights but decided if we're flying all this way, we might as well stay a little longer.

 

[Calfan]

We are also booked! It will be me, DH, DD (12 at time of sailng) and DS (10 at time of sailng). We are in a Category 5C. We are doing this cruise B2B with the June 29 Norway and Iceland itinerary. I am so excited! I have been waiting since 2010 (when, as a DCL newbie, I stupidly didn't book the Baltics thinking DCL sailed there every year, LOL) for DCL to go back to the Baltics. And then we decided we couldn't pass up the opportunity to do Iceland and Norway with DCL, so a B2B it is. We also considered pairing the 7-night Baltics with one of the Norwegian Fjord sailings, but I really wanted the overnight in St. Petersburg and to see Berlin, so that sealed the deal for the 12-night. Looking forward to planning with you all over the next 15 months or so.

 

[UKDisTravellers]

We've booked today
Our party consists of me, my DH, our two sons who will be 13 and 11 when we sail, and my mother in law. We have two cat 5 cabins on deck 6 at the moment ( we were hoping for cat 7 but they were all sold out ).
It will be our second cruise for everyone except my mother in law - she's never cruised before. The rest of us went on DCL to Alaska last summer - which was amazing.
As the name suggests were British, so no air fares for us ( thank heavens!!!) we'll just drive down toDover on embarkation day
Look forward to getting to know you all over the next 15 months

Booked this cruise this morning!!!

We're a family of 4. It will be my husband and I with DS 1 & DS 2 who will be 19 & 17 at time of sailing. It will be our 5th Disney cruise. We've done the Meds in 2011 and are happy to be back to this side of the world to explore another part of Europe

We did the Med with DCL in 2011 as well. The Med is definitely the favorite of my five Disney cruises so far. But I have a feeling it might be topped in 2015!

We booked yesterday as part of a 23-night B2B (the other cruise being the 11-night Iceland). We can't wait. The Faroes and Iceland are my #1 bucket list place to go, and I never dreamed DCL would be cruising there. I'm so excited, I can't stand it

Joining me will be DH, DS (18! at time of cruise), and DD (15 at time of cruise).

We are also good friends with Calfan and her family. This will be out third cruise with them, and the 5th cruise for Calfan and I (2 girls cruises without the family .

I've been all over the place with this cruise in terms of rooms. I have 2 9As booked, had a suite on hold yesterday until sanity intervened, and now I'm thinking of going to a 9C or D! I figure if I'm not going luxe, I might as well try to get it as inexpensively as possible with still having a porthole We'll see where we end up. Also hoping to reprice on our girl's cruise in May for the OBB.

Just an FYI for everyone if you are not aware, this comes from the US State Dept website for US citizens, obviously, please check on your own especially as we get closer or if you are not a US citizen .


International Cruise Ship/Ferry Passengers: You are permitted to visit Russian ports without a visa for a period of up to 72 hours. You may go ashore without a visa during port calls, but only if you are with an organized tour and accompanied at all times by a tour operator who has been duly licensed by Russian authorities. Cruise ship and ferry lines offer shore tours that meet these requirements. If you want to do sightseeing on your own, you must have a visa. A visa is also required if you arrive in Russia by ship or ferry, but want to depart by air, train, or other mode of transportation. A U.S. passport must be presented to Russian immigration officers each time you depart or return to the ship during your port call in Russia. If your U.S. passport is lost or stolen while you are ashore, you will not be allowed to return to the ship until you obtain a replacement passport from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow or one of the Consulates General. If your ship leaves Russia without you onboard, you must obtain an exit visa to depart Russia by alternative transportation. Russian authorities may take up to 20 calendar days to authorize an exit visa, during which time you will have to remain in Russia at your own expense.

Estonia does not require a Visa for US citizens

We booked yesterday as well and are still considering adding the June 29th Fjords with Iceland. DW can't get away from work for that long so may have to split her and daughter while I do full B2B

Oh by the way, I happen to be one of those people who's profession prohibits the use of Facebook so if information gets posted there that could be useful to the rest of us would someone please post it here

Thanks,

We did the Med with DCL in 2011 as well. The Med is definitely the favorite of my five Disney cruises so far. But I have a feeling it might be topped in 2015!

I think we were on the same cruise. That Med cruise is still our favorite cruise as well. We still talk about it this day. But we are really excited about the Baltics next year. Can't wait

 

[Hockeychic]
