7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 5

[scrapycruiser]

Wanted to confirm something with you guys . Our son & his family are going on this Baltic cruise. They have booked a room at the Park Plaza (Westminister Bridge) and would like to purchase transfers through DCL.
Is that possible ? Will they be able to check in for the cruise at the hotel?
Will their luggage be taken care of ?

Good Morning All
Booked a 14 day cruise on NCL for summer 2011 Croatia & the Greek Isles from Venice!​

Oh that is just not right!! Hope you get to go soon!

So sorry. Hope you can reschedule. We are set to take off on Sat. am. Hopefully all will be cleared up and on schedule by then.

EXCITING UPDATE!

I did some homework before I left home and went to the airport with a plan. Yes, the plan included crying if needed! Anyway, I found the last ticket available on a flight to Tampa. Couldn't get a rental car, every single place was sold out! Unbelieveable! So, my assistant found a car service to pick me up and take me right to the Swan. Only cost me a total of about $600 and took 10 hours! So, I am here at WDW, the sky is sunny and blue and I am thrilled! Thanks for the good thoughts everyone!

I don't know That's the way it usually worked for the trips out of the US, but not sure if it is the same for Europe?
Did they arrange this through a TA as the TA would/should know.

Good evening campers how are you all, very cold in London today, we had snow overnight, and there is a biting wind, as you walk over the bridge over the Thames, you get the full force, as its unprotected and its soooo cold.

Poor old tourists must be freezing here.

At least its sunny now till 5.30pm.

Now, when you you guys change your clocks back?????

Finally heard back from the Segway company in Tallinn



Ok, so it seems like the guide is extra
Not liked I'd want to try getting around without a guide anyway.

Anyone interested in getting a group together????
I've got 4 in my family so just need 6-8 more for the cheaper price.
My DS is 16 and my DD will be 13 by then.
Of course if there is enough interest there could be several groups

Laurie,
I have been off line for a couple of weeks due to a nasty Trojan attacking 2 of my computers. Trying to catch up and noticed your thread about Segway tour in Tallin. I have been looking at one in Stockholm as well. But...do you have any space still left for the tour in Tallin?

I've really got to get busy with our excursions

Actually, I'm quite relieved this is slower than the PC - I can at least keep up which I wouldn't be able to do with my current workload in we moved at that pace. I also feel (rightly or wrongly), I've got to "know" more people - there were so many on the PC I struggled!

Spent a bit of time planning over the week-end have a couple of questions:
1) Do DCL St P tours include the photo pass to take pictures at the the attractions?

2) Does anyone fancy joining us on the cycle/walk in Tallinn? I'm looking at www.cityboke.ee which is uncannily similar to the DCL trip without the age restriction

Celestine,
We might be interested in the cycle/walking tour in Tallinn....is the link you posted a working link? I couldn't get it to work. Would like to take a look at what the tour is about before committing.

Hi Sandy!
Sorry to hear about those nasty viruses

I have not heard back yet from the company and so don't have anything formally booked yet. I'll send another email to see if I can get the info we need. I think they keep the group sizes to 12 and the tours are 2 hours long.
Not sure of the price yet though. I'll let you know when I hear back (hopefully soon).

T.G.I.F.

Good morning!
Good afternoon to the Brits

 

[caven553]

So for those of you at WDW or going there shortly - can you tell me what the current nights that Fantasmic are? One of my friends is going in a couple of weeks and we can't find that schedule anywhere

It would be a working link if I could spell! Try www.citybike.ee I'm not sure that estonians call them bokes!

Stockholm viking walk

For those of you who may be interested, I've had the following from Ellissa:
We will have a tour at 1130am available to you. There will be a
vegetarian alternative available for the Taste of Sweden option,
however I must apologise as the Restaurant are really taking their
time getting back to us as to what this will be!

Another thing that is taking more time than expected is our NEW
FABULOUS SUPER DUPER website (www.gallivantproductions.com) which enables you to book directly, or at
least to see what tours are available on what days. Monday Feb 15th
is the launch date (fingers crossed). Family bookings/group bookings
need to be emailed through to us so we can send a paypal invoice (so
you get the child discount).

I hope this answers your questions for now. When you are ready to
book send me an email and I will book you in and send an invoice. If
you are part of a bigger group of 10 or more our group rate is SEK 100
per adult, SEK 70 per child.

We look forward to plundering with you this summer!

We have decided we're not going for the Taste of Sweden, but will be doing the tour. Not sure what else (if anything we'll do)

At least it's pretty.
We got it bad too.
We'll be talking about this storm for years.

So what's on your wish list?

Right now our wish list includes:

St. Petersburg (I realize depeding on times there may be conflicts and we might have to drop one or two):

Peterof Parks, Fountain and Train
Evening Canal Boat Tour

Catherine's Place and Hermitage
A Night of Russian Balet

Tallin
Old Town, Fishing and Mini Zoo (kids picked this one)

Copenhagen
Either Panoramic Copenhagen and Carlsberg Brewery or
Trivoli (MIL wants to do that one)

Berlin
Sights and Sounds of Berlin

Oslo
Either Glassworks and Viking Ship or
if an old high school friend that is a ship captain in Oslo is in town going around with him and a city pass

Stockholm
Stockholm, Vasa and Royal Armory


Depending on trip reports and Disfriends going on the 1st Baltic cruise reviews, we will probably adjust our plans. We just wanted to have excursions to book regardless. We are platinum members and I think our booking date is March 18, but I have to double check.
