Another MAGICal Adventure - WBTA 2015

[dvc deernut]

For anyone wanting to book pre cruise stay in Barcelona DCL are now taking reservations for the Renaissance and the Hilton Diagonal. We have booked the Renaissance. Welcome all new cruisers

Hi Michael, After our Celebrity cruise we are flying in from Istanbul the day before. Can you tell me how much it costs at the Renaissance.

 

[dvc deernut]

I hope as time goes by Laura and I will be able to link our Dining reservation with some of you in the group. Its more fun to sit with people you get to know before the cruise. We have linked with others on every Disney cruise. We like meeting new people but I like to talk By the way Laura and I will both be 60 year old kids at heart

Hi, Ian and Laura
The Renaissance Barcelona is £239 and the Hilton Diagonal is £279, sorry I do not know the exchange rate for Canadian Dollars.

to all the new cruisers that have signed up recently. Great to see this thread and the fb page starting to take shape and have a buzz of excitement.

We are off on a med cruise in just over 2 weeks, so will have a little taster of what's to come next September

Welcome to all the new cruisers! I've been absent for a bit, dealing with all sorts of fun things.

If you haven't already filled out the roll call form, please do so. You can find it here:

[size=+1] Roll Call Sign-Up Form[/size]

I haven't updated the roll call list on Page 1 in a while. I'll try to get to that this week. You need to complete the form to be included.

Be sure to check Page 1 for some new activities to join.

We're still looking for someone to design a logo for the group and people to organize activities. Feel free to volunteer if you have an idea for an activity.

On past cruises, we've had one person volunteer to organize linked dining for anyone who is interested. We have also had people link dining in order to sit together at the same table. If you are interested in sitting with particular people - old friends and new - keep that in mind. It takes the randomness out of the tablemates situation.

Ian, would you be interested in volunteering to organize linked dining? (nudge, nudge)

I almost forgot...

Has anyone here signed up for any of the Princess Half Marathon Weekend events? I'm going to be doing the 5K and 10K - I hope!

Penny and I were looking at this cruise. We thought we would do the last Med cruise and then B2B the transatlantic. However, I just realized there is a gap between cruises. I think it would be unusual for Disney to leave one of their ships just sitting around, but I do not see any refurbishments listed anywhere. Then again, maybe my math is just bad.

We have been checking up on that week too since the day we booked in May. DCL only says that the period between the two cruises is dark and they will announce later if any cruise is added before the TA. To date no dry dock nor a refurbishment is scheduled.

Thank you for the information. We are presently booked on the 11 Night Norwegian, but Penny's work issues plus the fact this will be an uber expensive cruise may force us to change our plans. We have always wanted to take an Transatlantic. Thank you again.

Hi everyone! As I posted in another thread, DH and I will be doing the WBTA in Sep 2015. Hope to meet some DIS people.

Previously I mentioned we were sailing Celebrity before the Magic. But we found the NCL SPIRIT 11 day which gets us from VENICE to Barcelona the day before. Would this be the cruise your on?If so that meas we are sailing together. I tried to get B2B on Magic but they told me the ship is sitting for 2 weeks after coming from Dover. Let me know if we are on same ship as you. It would be nice to know someone on the same cruise.

The NCL SPIRIT leaves Venice i think Sept 7th and arrives in Barcelona on the 18th. 11 days thru Turkey Greece Italy France and end up in Barcelona. Anyone else doing this cruise let me know.

We now sail into Barcelona on the 18th of Sept on the NCL Spirit and will be looking for place to stay the night. I will mention the Renaissance to our TA.

Hello everyone! I just booked myself and DBF on this cruise today! We were originally booked for the Vancouver to Hawaii trip but something came up preventing DBF from going and I had been searching for something just as fun when I learned about this cruise. I hadn't considered it before because I thought it wouldn't work with my work schedule but it seems to fit perfectly! We are so excited and can't wait!

 

[Aggiegrl]

So, when does airfare start becoming available? Anyone ever done a stopover in Iceland? I'm considering it.

That sounds like a great deal! Doesn't help me flying Boston to Barcelona, but happy for you!
