7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 2

[alanapapa]

Hi Everyone!

We just booked this cruise today - had orginally booked the 11 night Holiday sailing in 2010 but we had such a fantastic time in 2007 on the DCL Med cruise we decided to switch to the 2010 Baltic cruise instead

There will be 4 of us - me, DH, DD (14 at time of sailing) and DS (12 at time of sailing).

While I was on the phone with DCL today I asked for a quote for a 3 night pre-cruise stay in London and she quoted me $3,420 for our family - I thought that seemed REALLY high for 3 nights So for anyone that is planning on pre-cruise nights in England - are you going through DCL or are you booking on your own?

Thanks!

Michele and Family

You need to reread this thread and the previous incarnation, we are all crashing at Izzy's pre-cruise. We are doing a Pub Crawl

Other than that, Caropooh, the DD's, & I will be booking our own

You are the Queen in perpetuity . . .

Welcome aboard! I will get you added to the first page. I'm doing the few days in London before on my own . . . that does sound like a lot.

Let's try to confirm the date quickly in case anyone wants to fly in.....comments?

I am fine with the 21st but can be flexible if Maryann thinks she can't make it the next day after returning from WDW . . . also, we should check with Sallie . . .

Unless DCL was putting me up at Buckingham Palace there's no way in the world I would book thru them at that price. This past summer we stayed 1 night at the Park Place London Victoria across from Victoria Station and loved the hotel and the location, that's where we'll stay precruise again. I think our rate this past summer was 117 GBP/night and that included VAT. We will then go by coach to the port from Victoria Coach station, about 3 blocks from the hotel.
Right now we have no clue how far ahead we will arrive. I'm thinking DD & I may go a few days early and visit some friends up north and then we'll head back down to London to meet up with DH and my brother and his family. Just haven't approached DH on that subject yet.
