7/13/13 ~~ Eastern Mediterranean Mouseketeers!

[smores]

just transfered my reservation to the magic for less.....got a HUGE shipboard credit! so excited....costco is awesome too but we dont live close to a costco so a costco card is not as useful as ship board credit....we always use that up....

 

[Stimpy]

Thanks for the info about the insurance....I was just curious. It's not something I would actual file for.

I agree, I'm not going to worry about it until I see something more concrete. We're going to go on being excited about the whole cruise. If something happens later on, we'll worry about it then. The more I look at the other ports, the more excited I'm getting.

We were flying on 9/11 from NY & had to get return flights. I also remember watching that volcano for our Baltic cruise obsessively. Almost every trip we go on, we hit hurricanes, accidents, strange events (ie. European heat wave, snow in FL) We have weird luck when we travel...people don't like to go on vacation with us too often

Stimpy were you on the July 6 baltic cruise?

Yes we were...I saw you're name earlier & mentioned that I thought we were on the same one. This thread moves so fast you probably missed it nice to see you again!

Greetings All!

We're booked on the 7-13-2013 Med cruise. We're still considering if a 12-day cruise is going to be too long and too expensive for us. We might move over to an RCCL 7-night itinerary that would leave the same weekend, but we do love our DCL cruises. Nothing has been better - our Dream cruise in July 2011 was a close to a perfect cruise as you could get (except that it was too short). So here are our particulars:

To add your family to the Official Roll Call, please post in the thread as much of the following information as you desire:

My disboards name is 2disneydads.

We're a family of four: The 2 Disney Dads, John (who will be 55 then) and Billy (who will be 50 then - this is his 50th birthday celebration), and our two daughters, Elizabeth, who will be almost 10 then, and Francesca, who will be 8 then.

We're from West Orange, NJ, and Palm Beach Gardens, FL.

We've booked second seating, but we don't have a clue about best rotations yet.

We're booked in 2094 and 2096, connecting Category 9B cabins.

We've never done Fish Extenders, but we're open to the possibility.

Should mention this would be our 6th DCL cruise (2 previous on the Magic, 2 previous on the Wonder and 1 previous on the Dream).

We'd be happy to help out organizing the group and any group activities. We'd also be interested in getting to know some other families with kids the same age to arrange some shared private shore excursions that are geared to children!

Happy planning everyone.

Catching up this chilly Sunday afternoon on all the posts for this cruise - I do hope you all decide to stay - our daughter will also be 8 on the cruise and we live just south of you in Hypoluxo, FL!

WHOOP WHOOP!!!!

SOOOOO glad to be joining you guys on this cruise! I can hardly wait! We had to cancel our March MR cruise due to military restrictions, so this is quite the way to make up for it!

Me-Ivey (poizenivey)
DH-Jason
DD-Kennedy (9 at sailing)
DD-Karsyn (8 at sailing)

Late seating
Room 6603

Hubby has already started the "beans and rice" speeches! Penny pinching has officially started!

We booked this morning online at 6:10ish Mountain time...had no issues and it was a smooth as could be! Even transferring the ressie from a dummy cruise!

We will not sign up for FE's right now, but will keep them in mind! I'm so ready to start planning!

More playdates for the girls! I am very happy there are so many girls around the same age as Leigha (8).

 

[FloridaMom3461]

Wow! 532 days until our cruise and we are already on page 4...I can already anticipate a lively energetic cruise!

My Dis name is Newfoundland Sailor, please add us to the Roll Call – DW(Heather), DH ( Jason), DS (Stephen -12), DS (Jonathan - 4). We are from Newfoundland, Canada (that’s the island on the Northern East Coast of Canada close to Greenland) . Main seating. Stateroom 6053. FE Absolutely!

We were on a 7 day Med cruise last year with Disney and can’t wait to go back. My youngest had just turned two and he can still remember things he saw – every tower we pass he still calls the “Leaning Tower of Pisa”. We had a fabulous time last time and saw a lot of things (both on our own and through Disney excursions). This time round we are going to be more selective in our excursions since we saw the main things last year. DH says that he is staying on the ship until we get to Athens! He counted 9 at sea days in his calculations.

Joining us again on our cruise to the Med in 2013 is my Mother & Father from Montreal, Quebec. My Dad has always wanted to see Greece – so this will be his chance!

Last year there were only 6 rooms in the FE so I think this cruise has surpassed that number….I can’t wait. We loved dropping off goodies and seeing everyone’s doors. DH laughed at me when I brought one suitcase on 5 flights just full of FE stuff – I told him not to worry ‘cause it was coming home full as well. And sure enough it came home so full that we had to pay extra for being overweight!

Look forward to reading the posts and chatting more over the next year & a half. Enjoy!

~Heather~

I'm glad we'll be cruising together again! What a coincidence
