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

[RJAYL]

It's called a JOKE!Ken is in the mix of end of the year college students so YES I get it!

Sorry JoJo I have been a little stressed it will calm down now!

 

[RJAYL]

Good thing DW has a rental until her's gets fixed. So agrivating when you have to deal with those things.

We can meet up anyplace, doesnt' have to be B&C. We are only minutes away from any of the parks. Meeting at Epcot always works for us since that's where R&C is.
But we are very flexible, so make your plans and then you can work us in if possible.

I have just started to rough out the schedule of what park which day's I am going to pick up DVC discounted annual passes as I will have the trip back in April!

Hopefully I will have my PS's figured out shortly but have yet to call dining to see what availability is!

Also I spent 2 hours online last night with carnival registering & have to plan that part of the trip!

Bob was made Chief of Police of Aliso Viejo, you may call me Mrs. Chief. Tons of phone calls, emails, meetings, long hours all on salary. But Aliso Viejo is one of the safest cities!

Congratulation's!

Wow, Dr. Mike! It will be good to have a Pharmacist on board to make sure none of our prescriptions interfere with the drink of the day!

Forget that!
Mike can provide us with the prescription of the day & tell us what alcholic beverage not to drink with it!

Oh well they just delivered the Sunday paper I am off to peruse it!

Well that is typical 'The Sun' accuracy, I think she had the cruise on the Wonder, got a guide book and then constructed the article afterwards.

Anyway the Sun being 50% correct is better than the 'Daily Fail' where you can only believe the date, and thats if you purchase it promptly.


Ahhhhh, well folks of the USA Southend on Sea is like Castaway Cay, A beach, Sand, Sea, blue sky, water boats, food, attractions and shops.

DCL was thinking of a stop there on the Baltic cruises.....


Also Noticed going through to Virgin cruises for a quote the Med 10/11 and the East Coast Europe 7/8 repos come up for quotes the Baltics refered to in the article do not, I would presume thats because they have sold fast.

I also noticed that with Virgin - as usual wanted to see what the UK mark up was on "my cruise"! The other cruises still looked expensive as they were start from prices, but as I didn't click further not sure if they are selling all cats or not.

The other thing you forgot about Southend is the plastic glasses!

Back off to touch up the sunburn!

Gotta love those AP's, they come in really handy. DD & I went into Epcot on her b'day on Wed. and stayed a whopping 20 minutes - we went in to see an artist friend working at the Art of Disney.

I guess you'll be back on CC to plan out your Carnival cruise. Hope your teens have more fun than DD did on our Carnival cruises last summer. She didn't like their programming - or rather lack of teen programming - at all.

I looked at some of the prices they were ball park for 'inside' 'outside' etc then you were asked to call for an actual price.

Cannot be any worse that RC was in April we are going for the little ones While the club is not as nice as DCL it should be better then RC as they will handle lunch & dinner & they even seem to have some sort of pool as well.

The teens seem to take care of themselves!

As my DW says it will give us a taste & the price is right 3 ocean view cabins for less then 2 people in 1 cabin on DCL!

As the cruises are released so early, I presume the provisional times are now fine tuned with port operators and shore trip operators, ie the availability of piers to Dock at, maybe other ships in, the actual sailing times between ports, and in Germany the time tour operators want to leave by train for Berlin.

Presume arrival in Dover for disembarkation was an error. Forgot about time zones giving extra time going West.

I had not seen the changes. Thank for the info.

 

[jilljill]

Thanks for the update Andrew BUT I would prefer the StP time to be Earlier and NOT Later. That just really stinks and will be so hard to schedule any kind of decent tours, that's what a good tour operator is for.

I wonder how many more times it will change before the first sailing?

At least you have the right outlook for your cruise. Can't beat that kind of pricing either.

Sorry to hear about all the car troubles. Sounds like the 2 of you could help pull the auto industry in the right direction.

Nope looks like we will be buying lots of vehicles this year DW new SUV or Van DM new Caddy & a car at the end of the summer for DS who will have his license by then!

However DM says it is a good time to buy due to the economic conditions & she is probably right!

Thanks, Barb, that doesn't help.Unfortunately, if my DH hadn't been so economical and bought American, we might still have his truck in operation. Sorry, I had to say it.

Okay I now have PS for Disney & minivan rental for our time there & am working on the limo to Port Canaveral!

Bar St Petersburg Iam happy with the changes, I like to get up and get going quickly, I think Berlin is the challenge thats why its earlier, to fit in with trains etc.

St Petersburg whilst two days cuts the first day right down say lunchtime to dinner so is less of a vaulable day.

But sunrise is slightly after 4:00am in July, so think of all the fun things you can do if you get up early!!
