We are flying in two days early and have decided to book the crown plaza hotel. Since I do not have FB can someone pass along that we would like to join in on some tasting if someone is planing on them. An if there is a group Palo brunch we would like to join that too. Thanks

I wasn't sure either on this one!

Hi everyone! Time for an update. We are set on everything we "needed" to book: hotels, flights, transfers. This is our travel schedule:

14 September 2017 - Flight from Schiphol Amsterdam to Barcelona Intl. with Transavia + private transfer from Barcelona Intl. to the hotel
14-16 September 2017 - Hotel Gravina, Barcelona
16 September 2017 - Shared transfer from the hotel to the cruise terminal
16-27 September 2017 - Disney Cruise WBTA

We arrive at Schiphol Amsterdam on 1 October 2017.

We have used a local travel agent for booking everything except for the cruise, which we ofcourse had already booked by ourselves directly with DCL.

September is going to be such an exciting month for us. First getting married the 8th, and then this trip. YAY!

Been MIA for a bit, I completely forgot about transportation from the hotel to the cruise port. We are coming in a couple days early, still not sure if I want to rethink the hotel we booked or not. We are farther away from the city, but the hotel says it has a shuttle and also seems to be a light rail we can take? A shuttle service to the port might be something to look into.

Overall still didn't notice anything about a FE group, unless I am missing something. Though I am pretty non-creative, but I hate for my FE to go to waste LOL. I know I at least have the postcard group anyway.

Hey, mom2tcdx2!
We will also be in Barcelona a few days early and I plan to use public transport or a taxi to get to port, although I have contemplated getting a transfer through Barcelona day tours...
All the sign ups are on the site that shall not be named... I recently rejoined that site so I could sign up for all the different activities and FE. There are quite a few...

 

[Ann Tydings]

Has anyone started the Fish Extender groups for this cruise?

 

[gismo1554]

All the sign ups are on the site that shall not be named..

Not quite true. you don't as far as I'm aware need to sign up to the site to sign up to anything as there is a seperate website to sign up to things. Also the postcard exchange is actually only through here so not everything is on there.

 

[Aanna]

Agreed. I haven't noticed any sign-ups on the Site That Shall Not be Named.

I was foolish and canceled this cruise since I thought we couldn't go, but now we can and I'm devastated that it is sold out!! I'm hoping cabins open up (not concierge) and I plan to do this cruise B2B with the Mediterranean prior to this one. Otherwise, we may do the Mediterranean then head to Paris 2 nights and then London 2 nights. I'm really hoping for the best though. I welcome any tips or encouragement!

I am sure that when PIF comes around people will drop out! Don't worry just yet I really think it will be fine! Just be ready to book at PIF date - don't ask me when this is as I can't remember but paid mine off last year to get it done.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I will keep you name on page one just in case you can rebook.

Out of curiosity, I checked out the Site That Shall Not Be Named group (didn't join). Last time I looked it had a large amount of participants. Personally, that's too big for me. I like this smaller group.

My husband and I are heading for a quick vacation in WDW this spring, and I am having major surgery after April 17.

Is anyone else not getting Disboard alert notifications when someone posts on this thread? I have flagged this one to watch, but my alerts are not showing activity so I've been thinking it's been dormant.

I thought the same thing because I have been receiving hardly any notifications of postings on the threads I am watching -- and I'm watching a lot -- and was told that if you haven't checked on the site or posted, you aren't notified of new postings -- which makes the "watch thread" option useless I think.

 

[Chirple]

Ha! I got a notification that you quoted my post. I agree; the "watch thread" option is useless if I'm not actively posting.

Thank you! I think the PIF date is sometime around May 19th? I'm coming to terms with the fact that the price may be too high compared to what I originally had booked though. My DH are coming up with a Plan B and C. B is we will go on a Mediterranean cruise and see Paris and London afterwards or C we will try to book a Transatlantic cruise in 2018/2019 and go to Florida this year. Lessons learned for me!

Sounds about right! The seeing London and Paris option is a good alternative. Its hard to know how much the price will have changed as its sold out I guess which is a problem.
