6/29/15 Magic to Norway & Iceland

[CaliforniaGirl09]

Looks like we are in for a wild ride!

Totally! Our category went up by almost $2500, so for my two rooms that's $5000--wow. Only DCL can make you feel like spending $14k+ is a bargain because you didn't spend $19k+, LOL.

Started a Facebook group for those interested, 11 Nt Norway/Iceland June 29, 2015. For last years Greece cruise, we had a Facebook set up and it was a great way to share tips and ideas.

Lots of availability this morning for the cruise

I am not surprised by this. A lot of people, me almost included, probably think that the money needed to take this cruise with airfare is to much. Luckily my wife did done research and we have enough Amex points to fly to either Copenhagen or back home to L.A. and only pay the taxes. That helps. If that wasn't the case this cruise would be in serious jeopardy instead it's now a possibility.

Wait, I'm confused. Is this a different FB group than the one that was set up the first day that we've all been posting on, or is it the same one (linked to on the first page)?

Hey Yvonne! We recruiting our Aussie friends to come on the cruise too! I don't think Leanne has posted here yet... I'll get her over her. Are you in the FB group? Anyway, we met these fine people thru our FE group for our 4/11 cruise and travelled with them again on the eastern in 2012 and took a girls trip to cali last summer. We are thrilled to be sharing this experience with them too!

Hi Everyone!!!!

We are booked on this cruise with the hope that we can get July 4th off from work to be able to go. Fingers crossed.

We also booked the Dover/Barcelona repo as a back-up, but I'd rather take this cruise. We did the Baltic in 2010, so don't need to go back, but would love to take the family to Iceland. Also hoping to tack Scotland onto the back end if we can manage three weeks off.

We're: Me - DH - DD13 - DD11 - DD8

Looking forward to getting to know folks!

Welcome to everyone new! I wish there was a way for the Aussie folks to bring VB or Crown Lager for us (we'd pay a markup!) - can't get it on the East Coast of the states (if at all in the states).

 

[Jacintabelle]

Hello everyone, we are booked too!!! How exciting....well were from Melbourne, Australia.... Myself, my DH, and my DD (11 at the time) will be joining our wonderful American friends on this cruise, after we became friends on DIS Boards and then sailed away on the Disney Dream in 2011 and then the Fantasy in 2012....

I see there are lot of women after my own heart and are researching shopping, if anyone comes up with any hints or tips, please share....I see the conversation on the sweater ( we call them jumpers) and I definitely want one as well......

I look forward to joining in with the fish extenders and getting to know all of your prior to sailing.....️️️️️️️️️️️️

What is the name of the Facebook group? I can't do it from the link whole on my phone.

 

[KathyInCitrus]

All booked here talk about sticker shock especially because its just me going the 200% fare sucks. Looking forward to seeing/meeting all of you. Can't wait to see the blue lagoon and hopefully Northern Lights

Hey CarolSherman: I am also traveling solo AND also live in Rhode Island. We ought to get together after the summer travel season and compare notes!

 

[knabebug]

We love our international friends. Aussies and Brits! And all the other nationalities. Thank you for enhancing the cruise!

We did the Baltic in 2010 also, but Iceland pulled us in on this one too. I am also looking into tacking on a trip to Scotland at the end too. We covered London and the Southern part of England in 2010, so I was thinking about renting a car and heading North this time.

Welcome aboard!!!

It would be great if some of the information could be cross posted from Facebook to DIS. I know of some folks that don't do Facebook, and we don't want them to miss out!

We seem to have alot of Aussies!! That is awesome!

I have been trying to peruse the 2010 Baltic tip thread to find some tips and possibly a list of excursions for Oslo. We did it on our own the last time and it was a great city. It was one of the cities that I had said at the time that I would return to. And I am!

If anyone is going to do Oslo on their own, I recommend visiting the Opera house . It was pretty amazing. One of the CM's from the Norway Pavilion in Epcot recommended it to us and I was happy he did.

Maybe over the next few months I will upload some of my Oslo photos and some of the Copenhagen ones.

I plan to do that. Any gatherings (like an adult poolside nightcap pajama party) put together by members on FB will also be announced here and added to page one. I've got the Fish Extender Jitensha is organizing on both. PJ party will probably be announced down the line. If anyone sees anything that is posted or shared on the FB group and thinks it should be posted here just let me know.

Anyone who might be hesitant about joining the FB group please know that it is a closed group and only other members of the group can see what you post or that you are even part of the group.

I dislike joining Facebook groups because I end up with so many emails. Every time someone posts, I get an email.
