Did you ever get it booked? At a good rate, I hope?
Kim, the do spa ressies on embarkation day. They usually open up after the safety drill, which I think is at 4PM. I was able to see ressies for a facial starting at 5:45. So, check again, or the treatment you want has no more ressies.So I see that there are no spa ressies on the Embarkation day. Will there be anything offered after we're on ship, or does the spa stay closed that day?
Hi Vicky, good to see another Brit. On our last cruise there were loads of people from the UK, but it had been offered to UK travel agents and Cast Members, so that boosted the numbers. The ship was only half full too!
Where do you live? We are between St Helens and Wigan, are you going from Liverpool or Manchester? I have just booked with Monarch out of Manchester, going the day before and staying one night in the Novotel. We already did two nights in Barcelona, so not going to go mad this time, just have a leisurely afternoon, maybe on the beach.
Mindy - I understand the food thing - I just love Chocolate, but I am a bit like an addict. If I don't have any I am fine, but once I have a taste, I have to eat the lot!
My OH loves his wine, but despite having the wine package last cruise it wasn't good, we probably only had one good bottle, along with my favourite Zinfandel throughout the entire cruise!
We did think of buying a few bottles to take on board, but not sure what the corkage charge would be - anyone know?

Hello guys!
I've been a silent reader for a while now but I decided it was time to register and show my face. We (Mum, Dad and Me 15) will be joining you on the cruise. I'm so excited - we only booked it a few weeks ago so I feel a bit out-of-the-loop compared to you who have had it booked for almost two years! Already planning what to pack![]()

Hi
I'm a newbie too, only booked on Thurs! It was my birthday on Wednesday, so a nice pressie!
I am still trying to catch up with the posts, only 140 to go!!!
Mindy, I can't believe your kids have no idea about the cruise, you are truely amazing, I wouldn't have been able to manage it

We just told them that they are going to Barcelona, more than that they didn't ask...if they had figured it out, I don't believe they'd be smart enough not to have slipped by now. I think I can keep the secret even until we get to the ship because when we leave our hotel Wednesday morning, I"m just going to tell them that we're transferring to a hotel that has a pool.
They're not going to think that's a little odd? As detailed-oriented as the 2 of you seem to be....
Won't matter for long, I suppose, as aren't you right near the port?
Not odd at all...Sam was already complaining that I booked a hotel that had no pool and he didn't want to go to the beach. I told him I couldn't find one with a pool and a room big enough for all of us. I can tell him that I found one while we were out sightseeing in Barcelona during the day. He's 9, there's no way he's going to think it all out...and if he does...he still won't know where we're going when we leave the hotel

This is just so brilliant can you imagine their faces?! Are you going to video the reveal someway?
Mindy, you're lucky, my 9yo is pretty sharp and prob would somehow figure it out......
On another note... I'm trying to get in some sort of shape... I've been doing pilates at home, since beginning of Feb with a trainer. Today, I added a new thing to my workouts. I'm doing the couch to 4k workout series, today was the first work out.... In 8 weeks you should get to running a 5k... after today, I just think I'm going to die!!!! I've never sweated so much!!!!!! looking at the program, I figured it would be easy... NOT!!!! For those newbies, I had 2 strokes 5 years ago and put on over 75lbs while recovering in the hospital/rehab, and haven't lost all of it.... since my high I'm down almost 40 lbs so far... still want to lose 50 more though...... if I don't die first!!!!!!
Hi all!!!! I just got back from our weekend in Venice and now I am OMG excited about this upcoming cruise!!!! We took our 4.5 month old and she did just wonderfully. We literally had her in her ergo carrier all day for three days straight, she was great in the restaurants, etc. Makes me more sure that she will definitely be able to handle the all day excursions! She has been traveling since she was 4 weeks old so it makes sense, I guess. What a lucky baby though, she has been to 4 countries already and she is only 4.5 months old! LOL. I literally had pizza 4 times in three days and gelato WAY more then I can count. So much fun! Even in the rain... as for shoes
I will be bringing my Croc Flip Flops for the pool, my sneakers for the gym/rome/cinca terra/pompei, my joseph seibel sandles for walking, and my nice black heels for more formal dress. So excited!!! Still looking for people who might be interested in private excursions, just let me know![]()

Are the Disney cruises popular with Europeans?
