7/26/2014 - 12-Night Mediterranean Cruise (with Greece)

[dizneeat]

Hello!

We just changed our cruise dates and are excited to join your crew!
My name is Karin and I travel with my DB Tom. We both are Austrians, so this will be a such a change from our previous cruises - no long distance flights to get to a port, no exchanging of money.
This will be our 14th cruise with Disney, first one in the Med.
We have second dinner seating and are booked in stateroom 7058.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

We had to change to early dining on our last cruise, in order to stay with our favourite server. It was WAY too early for us, so I am glad we are back to second dining.

Hello, everyone!

We just got off the Fantasy yesterday. We had an AMAZING time!!! We booked this 12 Night Med Cruise while onboard. I am sooooo excited!!!!! This will be my longest cruise to date! It will be my 7th Disney Cruise. I'm on my way to Platinum!

It will be me, DH (Eugene), DS (Nathaniel - 12), DD (Genavieve - 9)

We are located on Deck 7, Midship.

I am going to look into the Fish Extender...but I hope the list of cabins doesn't go into the 30's when all is said and done! I just did one with 36 staterooms and it was REALLY hard to get everything done. I'm hoping we can split it if it gets to be that large.

I'm happy to be sailing with you all. I can't wait to look into excursions as we get closer!

Oh, and we have the 2nd seating. I can't wait to request my server! We had him a few years ago and he was AMAZING.

So excited to hear that you just got off the Fantasy. Was that an Eastern or a Western Caribbean itinerary? We are doing both as a back to back this summer and I'd love to hear about your experiences!

Hi everyone

Just got off the phone with TA to switch the dummy date we book on Fantasy couple weeks ago to this cruise.

It will be me- Gary, DW - Angelina, DD - Sabrina and DS - Andrew

We get seconds seating for dinner, but not sure the stateroom yet.

Will probably skip FE since we are doing pre and post cruise trip.

It will be awesome with 12 days on the refuribed Magic next year.

Hi Gary!
Welcome to the Med cruise!
Where are you going pre and post cruise? We are Europeans and maybe we can help you out with travel tips?

Aren't you on the Disney Fantasy Western trip on Aug 17? I thought I might have read your name there too. If so ..... we'll have two trips to count down.

Hi Dizneeat

Not sure about the pre/post yet. It will depends on which airline we manage to book with.
When we did the med last year, we were able to stop over at Paris for 4 nights before heading home.
The plan is flying into Madrid couple days before the cruise and stop over in London for couple more days before heading home.

Yes, we will be on Aug 17 Western with you, that is amazing. We were on Fantasy for the March break and it was really a fantasy came true.

Both cities, Madrid and London are really beautiful. But London has become SO expensive! I am glad we have family there, otherwise we would have to cut our visits pretty short, hotels have gone through the roof.

I was pretty sure it was you, who posted on the Aug 17 thread. How fun that we will be on the same cruises!

 

[garytam]

We can do a mini Med meet on Fantasy, way cool. Is Aug 17 your first leg of B2B ?

 

[JoyB-UK]

Hi, I was going to wait a while before adding our details to the meet board with it being so far away but I might as well get on with it. We are me - Joy, DH -Dave and DD - Maya (15 at sailing) We booked on opening day and this will be our 4th Disney Cruise (all on the Magic) and our 3rd in the Med. I am really looking forward to the Greece, Turkey and Malta stops as we have never been before. The early ports we might not always leave the ship or just do half days so I think it will be quite leisurely for us whilst everyone else is dashing around.
We have done an FE before so I will sign up for that again.

Yeah for the Med mini meet while on the Fantasy!
The Aug 17 cruise is the second leg of our B2B. We can't wait to spend 14 nights on the ship.

Wow! All your sailings were on the Magic? That's awesome. We have been on the Wonder and Dream 10 times now. We are cruising B2B on the Fantasy this summer, so in 2014 we will finally make it onto all four ships.
We have not been to any of the ports, but travelled a lot all over Europe. Tom and I were so excited to see some of the countries from a totally different "angle".

Hi Sarah! Glad you are joining us on this cruise.

May I add that your name looks very familiar to me? Have we been on the same cruise in 2011? If I recall correctly were you not a "latecomer" to the FE?
If so .... how fun we get to cruise together again.
Have you been to Europe before?

 

[sarahste]

Yes yes yes!

We were on the Dream in 2011. We were latecomers to the FE but folks were kind and we were included.

My family made the wood picture frames with the sea and sand painted on. Took us forever but it was a blast. My husband kept asking why we were making so many frames. I hope you got one.

We aren't late to FE this time!

What a coincidence. Very cool. Glad you are here.

-- Sarah

 

[sarahste]

And no I have never been to Europe before (don't care much for flying, although I do it quite a bit).

Have you been to Europe?

And a correction: this will be my fourth Disney cruise, second time on the Magic.
