We, meaning my family, were on the July 2007 Med cruise and I must say that it was fantastic. We are considering the 2010 cruise for 11 days but will do it through DVC and dollars. We spent a few days in Barcelona prior to boarding to adjust to the time zone change. We will probably go for a Cat 6 room since my wife will not go unless we have a veranda. It was wonderful to have it on our last cruise. Every morning going into port, we sat out there with coffee and croisants and got a good look our destination for the day. We got good use of the veranda. This time it will just be the two of us, so I will try and negotiate with DVC on the dollar difference between one and two people. 
The price differential between one and two people for a cat 6 room is $1635, yet for DVC members, they ask for the same number of points per person. That really makes no sense, so I am going to speak to the DVC people and see what they can do. For those of you on this board that did not cruise in 2007, it is a wonderful experience and will provide lifelong memorie. Just one more point, look for private excursions and you will fare much better in ports such as Florence and Rome.

In any case, I agree with one of the posters about taking private excursions. We had our own driver in Naples for the day. Got to Pompei, and then to Revello, Positano, had lunch at a wonderful restaurant at the top of the mountain, then off to Sorento. It was a wonderful day. We used AP Tours. For Rome we again had our own driver, and did a private tour of the Vatican in the morning. Had a great lunch at a restaurant in downtown Rome, and then did a complete tour of all the sites including going into the Coliseum. Same for Vilafranche. Went to Eze, Monte Carlo, where we saw the guard changing. Cannes, St Paul de Venue and then back to the ship. I have to look up who we used for Rome and Villefranche, and post the names when I find the data. Am already doing research on the new ports.
First off . . . I was re-reading Deb Wills from AllEars report from the last Med Cruise, and she mentioned the Hilton she stayed at in Barcelona had a desk where you could check in for your cruise before getting to port. Is there any mention of whether that will happen again? Do Disney book for us / recommend any particular hotels which will have this facility?
