7/18/10 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo Part 6

[MrsScooby]

We are Roman Catholic and would really like to go to Mass Friday or Saturday before the cruise. We love the thought of a historic Cathedral of some kind, or a quaint chapel in London.

We are in Kensington Friday/Saturday and Holborn Saturday. Any suggestions?

Thank you!
Marie

Hi Marie

I'm Roman Catholic as well and would have loved to do this too. Unfortunately just can't on this trip so it is something I am looking forward to on my next visit to the UK.

 

[Marla Hellwig]

Arriving in London about noon the 13th staying at London County Hall
Belvedere Road

After cruise, Disneyland Paris and then Paris

Hope everyone is having a great holiday/non holiday weekend

Thanks for the updated fish extender list

Sorry to hear about your cat

Hi Marie

My last visit to London was Easter weekend some years ago. At that time we attended the service in the Brompton Oratory. It is on a tube/bus line - I forget which.

Happy 4th July!

Apologies for not replying sooner on Friday we had to have our beloved cat, Smokey, put down - she was 17. Celestine

My elderly lady cat went in her sleep at age 20. You have my sympathies.

So update me Ladies and Gents,

When are you all coming across the pond?

And who is staying in London and where???

We are arriving EARLY July 15, one set at Gatwick (me), one set at Heathrow.
We are staying at Park Plaza Riverside and catching Ballyhoo bus #2 on the 18th.

London activities planned: city tour, British Museum visit, Stonehenge at twilight tour.

We are arriving in London on the 16th and will be staying at the Rubens at the Palace. Post cruise we will be at the Renaissance Chancery Court.

We do plan on trying My Old Dutch as you and your DD recommended a while ago. It sounds yummy.

We are taking the overnight flight from Philly to Heathrow Tuesday July 13th, then will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express Earls Court until Saturday, then going to Dover that evening to stay at the Ramada.

Ken

We leave tomorrow for London and get in July 6th at 10 am. We will spend 3 nights at the Holiday Inn Express - Mayfair. We are going to see Lion King one night. The kids are excited about it.

Then we will head to York - 3 nights. Then Inverness - where we meet up with my brother in law and his family - 3 nights. They live in Saudi Arabia and we haven't seen them in a year so we are all really excited. Then we head to the port staying 1 night in Cambridge and 1 night in Canterbury. We will meet up with the rest of our family on the boat.

I can't wait to meet everyone on the boat. Hopefully I can check in with everyone when we get there. I am not going to know what to do without checking the blog 10 times a day.

See you soon,

Sarah

We arrive the morning of the 17th and re going directly to Dover. after we see Dover Castle we will stay at the Walletts Court and will try to catch up on sleep.

On the back end, we have a few days at the Marriott Marble Arch.

We are arriving at Heathrow 7/15 AM and staying at the Royal Garden Hotel. We'll be on the Ballyhoo bus to Dover.


Wow, Sarah, you sound like you have a packed vacation BEFORE your vacation!!! Have a great trip and see you soon!

Celestine,

So sorry about your cat. I have a 16 year old cat named Smokey, too. They really become part of the family and are missed. At least you have a new kitten to look forward to!

You asked about FE cabin #6089. I think that is Sandy "Smilis" who is a late comer and asked to be added. Hopefully they will respond to your inquiry.

We're flying into Heathrow the morning of the 16th and staying at Parkwood at Marble Arch.

Wish I could fly in earlier but I'm using all my available vacation time at work as it is.

Just gotta go back to see all that I've missed.

Aloha Andrew,
We are arriving July 15th into LHR and staying at the Park Plaza County Hall.

We are leaving Denver on Wed the 14th arrive Thur 15 at noon. Staying at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge. Taking DCL transportation to Ship.

We have not received letter or call about time change in Stockholm. We are on the 11:15-3:15 Stockholm,Vasa & royal Armory tour.

Park Plaza Westminster Bridge. We arrive the 17th and are taking DCL transportation. If we can fight off the jet lag, I'd like to see Westminster Abbey that day - one of the few things I wanted to do last trip and never got around doing it.

We are driving, so expect to arrive in Dover the morning of the 18th. Would have taken more time in that area, but DS#1 going to a camp that doesn't finish until Saturday morning! DH and I both have to work on Friday as well - last minute, so had to beg for the time off. ha ha.

Looking forward to meeting everyone! We are in cabin 6506.

We arrive bright and early on July 16th, and we're staying at the London Bridge Hotel. We're also headed to Liverpool for a Beatles pilgrimage!!

Sorry about your kitty, Celestine. I have a 16 yr old dog I saved when I was a "young" veterinarian. She's my best buddy and older than both my kids. You're in my thoughts.

Thank you for all of the responses, firstly may I all wish you safe travels, no delays, and no bumpy flights and a safe and prompt arrival at your destination.

Also as many of you depart soon, might be a little early, but it has been a pleasure joining in with you on this thread, and I hope you really enjoy your time in our country or capital city. Have a great time, and I hope I might have helped in a small way.

Safe travels and enjoy.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

We have that excursion as well & have not heard anything from DCL my guess is that the start time will be moved up!

Good Morning All

Good afternoon.

 

[KathyInCitrus]

Now,

All the very best to our friends in the USA today, for July 4th.

Happy Independence day.

I understand this is the day the war ended, you had a big fight with aliens, who tried to take control of your lands, and you got independence, not before they blew up the white house with their big spaceships? -or do I watch to many movies?

Hi All; Just wanted to add us in to the fun:

Normally when we cruise Disney, I am all organized and plan ahead, but this time I haven't had the time.

We are: myself, Krista
DH Graham
DD4 Genoa
DD6 Kalyssa
MIL Sharon
FIL Larry

Is it too late to get on the fish-extender list? I know its late, but I found some cool gifts, and my girls have had such a great time with it in the past.

Cheers to everyone!

Hi, sorry you have been forgetten for a few days but WDW has been calling us and we've been meeting up with friends. The next few days will be busy here as well since my brother and nephew arrive tomorrow and then more friends arriving on Thurs. - it's going to be a full house.


Everyone wanting to take part in the postcard exchange please send me a PM with your cabin number and I'll get a list out to everyone either via PM or will leave it at your cabin.

Not too late but on the understanding not everyone on the list may be able to provide you with a gift - some are already on there way so may not even know of your existance!!! Post your stateroom number & I'll add you to the list.

I'm going to do a paper copy of the list & leave it in everyone's FE on the first night just so we are all accounted for. I've included smilis but if you are reading please confirm either on the board or by PM

Thankyou all for your thoughts. Our selected kitten is needing a name change - currently it is called Mars Bar! Thinking Mars may be an option, but just don't know. Need to look at vaccinations, neutering etc. I thought 17 was a good age, but 20 is amazing - you must share the secret of longevity, especially if it relates to humans

Lauren is still enjoying gym and has started cheerleading. It is a really new squad so will not compete until this time next year at the earliest.

Has anyone heard if they are granting "complimentary" cabin upgrades at port? Last cruise we were the lucky recipient of a Cat. 3 upgrade!
