7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 4

[danfromca]

I know our 8/15 cruise is nearly sold out, I think the school holiday ones to end of August have held up, well, its all the ones either side that didn't sell as well.

The Wonder is having more difficultly than the 7 night Magic, presume as thats more of an expensive add on to WDW, rather than a vacation in itself.

People have the Magic as a destination, the Wonder as a rest. (How else do you explain gong to Nassau

It may be nearly sold out, but they are still offering all categories including category 12 - so it's certainly not sold out by the standards we're used to (the med cruise and the canal cruise).

I'd be thrilled for the ship not to be full this time

It will certainly be strange to be on a 3 night again - that's SO short...

I am aware as we hit the 90 day mark on my August cruise some people have dropped out.

Even the E/bound Panama canal 2008 cruise had avaialbility at the 90 day mark.

Sure I knew you would weedle your way into this!

My Mom is not a Florida resident & I said a relaxing cruise lets see Mom & DW is like Oil & Vineger or Fire & Water



My mom is 85 my 4 almost 5 year old is akin to Speedy Gonzalez on Emphetamines! The rest of my children are more like a pack of Trial Attorney's!
Obviousely my mother would not make it to 86 if I did this!

It is unfortunate as the cruise was one of the Tortola cruises leaving on (Wait for it) 7/18 I would have really like'd to go! there was even a Cat 2 available for 24K

I can read between the lines..........you can't wait until next summer to sail with me and Maryann!

Thats it but it is not just you & Maryann dont forget Barb & Julie & Izzie & Andrew & Caro & everyone else!

Also as I am a pretty good planner and I am amazed that with all the adds for deep discounts , that I cannot find one for this summer's cruises!

I am going to check out Alitalia's trips today!

I'm always trying to find a way to go on a trip.

You could just take me then for the FL res. rate and leave your 4 with mine at the house....oh wait then I wouldn't return to the same I left. Ok, never mind that idea. I tried.
Even better, your DW and I could go and you could stay with all the kids and go to the parks or send them there and you could stay by the pool.

Good luck checking out flights today.

Andrew and my sunburned back and shoulders are sitting in the airport waiting for our flight home. We had a WONDERFUL time, but do miss the girls. Home tonight and off to Disneyland in the morning! We won't be home even 12 hours!

That's how we got to go! We booked at the 90 day window! Had one day to pay in total and made all Palo and excursion reservations that night. I t was crazy!

 

[Caropooh]

Barb, Andrew said to tell you that Christiaan will be your CD in June(he just came back on Sunday), Pikey will be on the Wonder and Marco will be in Palo.

Flights are not bad direct non-stop from Boston, Car errr Mini-van rental okay as well the question will I enjoy a week with the family on the Amalfi coast?

I would have to stay in Sorrento (Ravello & Positano are to small)as it has a main street to walk or maybe Amalfi, but would the kids drive me BONKERS!

Thanks for all this info.
Never been on a cruise with Christiaan. Pikey is too funny. Never dined in Palo, I'm not counting tea I went to, so have no clue who Marco is.

Nope, into the kool-aid.

You have me lost when you are talking Italy. I thought you were considering a cruise and not a land vacation?

 

[jilljill]

I forgot to mention earlier that I post house pics on my FB page.
Sadly, we've been told the alligator has been taken away by the trappers. I'm sure there will be another along to take his place.

I love, love Sorrento -- but I have to agree that it may not be the best place with little kids. It is a wonderful place to wander but not super kid friendly. Maybe a more beach-oriented trip, Sardenia or Majorca if you want to go to Europe????

Lots of openings at 90 days as people book on speculating they want the ''option'' to go, thinking it books fast. Plus people just might not have the $

Barb, Andrew said to tell you that Christiaan will be your CD in June(he just came back on Sunday), Pikey will be on the Wonder and Marco will be in Palo.

Do I get Christiaan in August??? Hope so do not want Brent, Marco in Palo is not up to the high standards of PJ.

You have picked a couple of names I do not like and Pikey is one and he is a Brit, do not like his style.

Me too Lets see gelato or canoli's & Caruso's restaurant I bought my bedroom set from a tourist place Miss Belavue just outside of town back in 98!, we only drove through in 2007 on the Med cruise!

Would really like to go however I just am not sure about the little ones? My wife was looking at villa's but no real deals!

yeah i am so confused might just hybernate at the Beach house all summer!

 

[MrsG]

Don't recognize any of the server's names. Didn't we have Brent on the Med. He was OK.

Sasha was a server in Palo on the Med. We had him back when he was just a server in the dining rooms. Any idea if he's still on the Magic?

Come down to WDW and we can have a mini meet if you come down in July. Rose & Crown is always a good place to meet at.
We are going to San Francisco in August so we have to come home and pack for that trip.
