Hi MinnieDiva,

No -coverage has disappeared here too Though I know some people had a problem on our May cruise with it. I'm sure it will be fine. I'm just a paranoid type of person.

Vicky

Shhhhhhh!!!! Don't mention the 'you know what'!!! We almost had problems in June, but as OH has a travel company, we had a contingency plan. Get ferry over to Spain and drive down!!! We have priority booking with ferrys. Don't worry Vicky, if the 'you know what', does kick off, you can come with us!!!! (child and all!). I really don't care about it on the way home!!!

Last time OH was in work for nearly three days, it was a nightmare! Don't even want to think about it!!

No allergies here!!

Glad that DCL have thought our flight was OK, I was a bit worried that we were pushing it to get the 12.10!

Got my new laptop. Very swish, I can now use the letter QqqqqQQQ when I write a message!!!

Don't quote me though!!!!!

Lori, not sure why your doqs were so long coming, if we had ours in the UK. Makes it real doesn't it!!!

Heard from my friend today, devasted that the only cabin left is 10,000 dollars for four of them!!! I did try telling her to book quickly. She is really cheesed off, but it has taken her a month to get around to it, so not surprising. They are looking at an NCL cruise in the Med now. Shame, her kids would have so enjoyed it.

Have a good evening everyone.

Just for fun, I tried booking our cruise, and I can't get ANY cabins to come up now... even with only 2 people in one. It seems like our cruise got more popular, there isn't a stateroom to be had. There was one cat 4 earlier today, but that's gone now too!!!! You can still book the Aug 7th sailing with 2, but no more, the Aug 28th sailing still has availability.

Kate, sorry about your friends.. It makes the old saying,"You snooze, you lose" make a lot of sense.......

Well I did try telling her - several times! Just had a look, nothing available now until 28th. I think they must have quoted her a Cat 4.

Well we ARE going and looking forward to meeting everyone.

It wasn't a cat 4 for 10k for 4 people... that's what we have booked and we paid MUCH more than 10k and we have 4 people.......

WOW.....I was going to ask everyone if they had any good, unique ideas for keeping "cool" while we are there in August.

Ok, my DW and I figured out what the "docs" were I'm very impressed with the little booklet with tear off pages. Very cool to be in the Castaway Club. Still learning the abbreviations

GOT MY DOCS!!!!!!

Mindy,
We are at The Royal Ramblas. I think my plan is to just take a cab from the airport and drop our luggage as well. I tried to book the pre-cruise package at that hotel but it kept saying here were not rooms available for that package. That would have given us early check in. I am hoping that we are not too exhausted and do some touring. I originallly thought we would hire a car but DH works with someone whose fiance is from Barcelona and assured him that we could just take a cab. The only thing is I think they charge you extra depending on your luggage.

Stacey- I think I saw you were staying there too?

Yes - We're staying at Royal Ramblas pre and post cruise. Looks like we'll be neighbors!

 

[graysm]

Wow! It is forecasted to be 99 in Florence tomorrow. Hope I have room for our spray fan.

I'm bringing 3 spray fans with me!!! They will take priority over anything else in my suitcase!!! I get very hot, very easily!

Good, since there only 2 of you, then you can lend one to me

 

[graysm]

I'd be happy to lend you one! I'm bringing the back up in case one breaks. I'd bring more if I had room in my suitcase! LOL!

 

[mindelmouse]

So I read through my docs a few times and unless I missed it everytime and I was looking, did anyone see where it says where we go to meet the ship??????

Not really???

Also, What time are people planning to get to the port? I have not really thought about if we will do touring that day or we will be too excited to just board the Magic.

 

[MacG]

The port address can be found on the inside of the back cover of your docs.

wEll probably tour a little on Tuesday when we get there...planning to get to port around 11-12 as soon as I can find out what port terminal we go to . We can't check into our hotel until 2-3

Thank you ...i would have never seen that.

I have a question for those of you who went on the MEd cruise earlier this summer...

On the day of Embarkation, if we arrive early to the port (10 am), drop off our luggage and check in will we have enough time to head back in to Barcelona until 2-3pm?

 

[pixie08]

Hmmm Navigator verandah were released at a gty. That's wierd...isn't it? Maybe they are trying to generate interest for the 11 day? I mean it cooould be sold out....but considering the cruises on the dates before and after are still half empty, and this is a 10 day (for almost the same price as a 11 day) this all seems weird. This all seems like a marketing ploy to me, sacrificing the 10 nights for 2 11 nights which means another day on the boat, more drinks more spa, more $$ money in Disney's pocket.....But hey who knows Either way as long as everyone is happy where they are then we are going to the Med in almost 30 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
