There is a fish extender group organized (with a second one started to limit the size of the groups). I am not involved with the fish extender, but if you scroll earlier posts in this thread, some others have posted about it. No direct links can be posted.[/QUOTE]

Yes we are not allowed to post links to it under their rules.

 

[DISNEY FANTASY]

These are the rules why we cant post a link.

If you haven't already, please post a link to your thread in the 2016 Magic Cruise Meets thread at the top of the Cruise Meets board. That way, Irish Cowboy can add your thread to the list so that other cruisers can find your thread and join in.

PLEASE review the Cruise Meet Policy regarding Cruise Meet and Fish Extender programs. - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3353477

If anyone wants to get an idea of a Disney Magic 12 night cruise in Northern Europe there is my trip report here, with photos, menus and ship details including paperwork and navigators and videos here. There are also lots of details of Dover.

Oslo, taken from the Disney Magic in 2010, see how close we dock to the city.

 

[llqool]

If my mom (Silver CC member) is in a cabin with my Gold CC level daughters, and our reservations are linked, can I book an excursion just for her on the same date that Gold level members are able to book dining/port adventures? We are going to do our own thing in Oslo and since she has some mobility issues, I was going to put her on a tour that just does an overview of the city with very little walking. I just wasn't sure if I will be able to book her if a gold member (makes me think of Mike Myers!) is not with her?

So you can book to the level of the highest level of Castaway Club in any cabin. Therefore if you mom is silver but in a cabin with one or more Gold, that entire cabin books at gold. That "Cabin" is gold, So mom can book at gold and you do not need to book anyone else with her.

Summary: it goes by the person with the highest CC level in that Cabin, just one person has to be gold for all to book when gold window opens. Everyone is then considered gold and individually can book to gold.

Thanks, Disney Fantasy. Still learning all the nuances of this.

Was looking through your trip report from last summer...love all the graphics that you created. May use some for inspiration (if you don't mind) when it comes time to create our door decorations.

DF, I have another question for you. Right now I am silver with four cruises so if I remember correctly I think my date to book anything is April 14th. I just booked a cruise on the Magic for March 31st and ending April 3rd. So after that cruise I will be gold. Does that mean I can book things when I complete that cruise on April 3rd or do I still have to wait til the 14th since I wasn't gold at the gold booking mark?

At the end of your cruise they should automatically switch you to Gold.

Ok ty. Excited that I will be able to book a few days earlier than I had planned.

Has anyone found a shuttle service from Copenhagen hotels to the cruise terminal? In Dover, there are tons of options, from private mini vans to buses. But I can't find something about a van shuttle service from area hotels to the port.
