Hello everyone! We have booked this week too.

It's our first ever Disney Cruise. Me, DH, DD (who will be 5) and DS (who will be 3). We are looking forward to trying a new type of Disney fix!

Hiya pascalstongue and family!! Welcome aboard

 

[ShellB8585]

Is anyone combining the cruise with a trip to other places in Europe?

 

[scrawny]

Welcome aboard. Not sure about adding extra days. It may depend on the flights we can get

Where are u coming from. We are in pa. This will be our first trip to Europe. It did take a little convincing to get my dh to agree.

We are in the process of booking this cruise right now. Just me Kim and DH Mike.

Very excited to see a roll call started.

We where on Magic back in 2005 and switched to Carnival for 10 cruises now back to Disney for Europe, we will be coming in a few days early to get use to the time different and also tour Barcelona that is the highlight for me.

OMG, I am in the same situation. This is my first trip to Europe after trying to convince "someone" for years! We are in Riverview FL, outside of Tampa.

Hiya hockeychic and DH!! Welcome to the group

We're starting to grow quite rapidly now

DH and I are going to Barcelona 4 weeks today and we're on a 4 night DCL from 9th July so if anyone wants me to find out anything to help the planning process please feel free to ask and I will try my best

 

[Hockeychic]

Wow very exciting, which ports are you going to?

This will be our first trip to Europe, and very excited about it.

Except for the 2 ports in France I think we are basically doing to typical tourist things but have some time to research

We will be doing Villefranche and Palma Mallorca this year. Booked on the DCL Monaco and Eze tour in Villefranche so may just potter around Villefranche itself next year/ have a quiet day on ship.

Which ports is everyone most looking forward to? For us it's la spezia - always wanted to go to Florence and Naples

 

[Hockeychic]

Very cool!!

For me it is Barclona, have always wanted to go there but as far as posts on the cruise for me it will be Rome. For DH it would be Naples, he wants to go to Pompeli (sp)

[ShellB8585]

Rome is my favourite City I have visited DH and I went for a week over our anniversary this past January and I would go back in a heartbeat. But I loved evenings in Rome and we've done the major sites so may do something else at that port if we can resist going in :-s

 

[Hockeychic]

Been looking at excursions there are so many to choose from. So glad we have over a year to plan

Hey folks, just booked this trip as a back to back with the Transatlantic on sept 6th. Three weeks on Disney! Cant wait. It'll be me and the hubby. No kids on this one.

 

[ShellB8585]

Hiya Nat Tucker and hubby!! Oooh transatlantic I'd love to do one of those sounds like a fantastic trip

 

[scrawny]

Hi everyone. Welcome aboard. Does anyone know if Naples is easy to navigate? All of the reading I have bern doing shows it should be doable.

Wow! The group is growing. If anyone is interested there is a great free iPhone app called ship mate. I've downloaded it for this and our Southern Caribbean cruise in November.
