Any Idea about what to do in the ports on this cruise, or any reports from the 2005 cruises?

How long does the zip line excursion keep you off the boat? My wife and I would like to do this while the kids are at the clubs on the boat. Our friends that would be cruising with us would be around in case the kids needed anyone while we were gone.

The zip-line excursion at PV in 2005 lasted about 4.5 to 5.0 hours. The departure times were 7:45, 8:15, 9:45, 10:15, 12:45am and 1:15pm.

I saw on the passporter board someone posted its 61 weeks to the cruise
I guess there is more than one cruise lists for this cruise

Happy Sunday all.
Hopefully as we get closer to the one year mark, this thread will pick up

I want to reply, but need to get through with cub scouts day camp this week. If I visit the DIS I will never accomplish everything before Friday.

Our friends that will be going with us just returned from the DCL Mediterranean cruise. They said it was a blast and the weather was great. My wife and I are leaving on Friday for a few days in Paris then a QM2 Transatlantic cruise for our 10th anniversary.

Excellent find! Thanks! This will really give us a good idea of what's in store.

Just back from a transatlantic on QM2. It was wonderful. Would not recommend it for kids (it was just wife and I on this one). The Kidszone was very nice, but VERY little for children to do outside of that. The ship itself is the nicest and best-kept I have ever been on and customer service was excellent.

Hey

[caitlinsdad]

ONE YEAR to Go


Anyone started planning yet, any research on places to see

 

[vossjemi]

Yeah! Can't wait. Today I tried to ck pricing and nothing came up as available on DCL website. Are we sold out already? Or, just a glitch?

Looks like me and my family will be joining ya'll. We were supposed to go on a Easter cruise but spring breaks have been moved around. My name is Melissa I go by Lissa and I will be traveling with my mom and brother all adults. We will be flying in the dya before and probable spending sometime at Disneyland after using DVC points. This will be our second Disney cruise. We got back a week ago from our first. We did the Med cruise and loved it so much we booked before we got off the ship. Guess we should have checked the dates 'cause now I got to move everything including plane tickets. Looking forward to being back on the magic and getting to know ya'll.
