Bringing Home the Magic - Part 2 - 8/18/07 - 9/01/07- list of cruisers on page 1

[gismo1554]

Hi,

We have just been allocated stateroom 2132.

There are 4 of us, 2 kids and mum and dad.

Am I right in thinking 2132 is a cat9? And now we have it, can they downgrade us again or is it time to celebrate a super upgrade?

Has anyone else been allocated yet who was on a Gty12?

Col

Very cool. Cat9 room! Haven't heard of anyone being downgraded once a rooms been assigned but I suppose it could happen if there was a sudden rush on Cat9 rooms. I don't think there's gonna be though so no need to worry.

List has been updated with all the room info that has come through. Well done all for getting upgrades. Anyone who has yet to give a room number and has one, and of course wants to be on the navigator let me or RIKIMUK know and we will add you.

DIZZYDANN - Welcome back not heard from you in awhile. Do you want your room numbers added to the navigator or not? Congrats on getting Cat9.

Hello all

These are the room numbers that have been posted on here and any where we are still awaiting room numbers. If you are on here and the room number is wrong please let us know. I have only included those who are GTY12 or have yet to supply myself or RIKIMUK with a room number. Anyone else who changes rooms please let us know. Also they are in room order so you can see if you have a fellow Diser next to you.

This is a surprise... Please take me off the list; we have no plans to participate in the fish extender stuff. I don't think dletz did either. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries. I have removed it from the navigator. Not sure where that came from. I have probably missed someone else off somewhere lol.

We won 3 portholes!!! We're at the very front of the ship on the second floor--almost no neighbors--It's like having our own wing!!!

Hi I still need your room numbers for the navigator?

Thanks

Lindsay

Looking for help, I am trying to do this now that we have just booked the cruise.

We are arriving at BCN on 8/17 at 8:20 (USAir).

I haven't found a hotel to stay at that day/night.
I'm looking for advise or anyone who has something helpful...

Is there a way to get a room early (other than booking a room for 2 nights, starting on 8/16). Then again, perhaps we won't get out of the airport/customs to the hotel before 2pm. I think we are just looking for a place to recover from the long flight and adjust to the time difference.

Did anyone on the May repo stay in barcelona and liked their hotel choice?

If you are still reading and wanting to ask the question: Why don't you book something through DCL? Well,they say their contracted hotels are all full. I think I will call them again to see if that had changed.

Then, there are 4 of use, 2 adults and 2 kids. It looks like a lot of hotels have 2-person max per room, so I need to book 2 rooms. Is that common or should I keep looking until I find something to hold us in 1 room?

Of course, I'm looking for a good location. But I'm not sure how to do this. I've been looking in the area close enough to walk to some of the well known major attractions.

Finally, what's up with this power outage. Is it possible that the power will still be out in 3 weeks? Perhaps we should look for a place which is outside the affected area...

I believe that most hotels allow you to check in from 2 or 3 so you may be OK. We are staying at the airport so cant help you with details elsewhere Im afraid but the airport hotel has a shuttle to the centre and the airport I believe.

Thanks

We leave at 1 this afternoon for a 5:40 flight . . . if all goes well, we will be in Barcelona tomorrow at 10 AM local time. I'll see you all on the Magic Aug. 18!

Have a great time Julie! See you in Barcelona!

Bishop family:

We stayed in Casa Camper in June for our 6/16 cruise, and are doing so this time.
Most hotels in Barcelona only sleep 2 or 3, but some sleep 4 (Espenoza Suiza?) We had 5 then so had to get two rooms.

You might look at tripadvisor to get an idea of what is available.

If you do stay at Casa Camper get them to set up a taxi for you. It is so small (25 rooms) some drivers don't know where it is

It seems that for most of the hotels, double means two people, not two beds.

We also are a family of four, and decided on the Citadines apart'hotel because they do have suites that will hold four and a friend recommended it. They told me that all of their rooms are non-smoking (which surprised me), all rooms have a/c, and they will hold my luggage for me until I checkin, since I arrive just before noon. www.citadines.com It's located on the Ramblas.

Residencia Australia's Tasmanian suites across the street from the main hostel will also hold four. We considered it last September, but they wouldn't let us book then, so we moved on. They will require full payment in cash at checkin. I can't tell you if they are good or not, but the suites only opened up earlier in the year so they are reasonably new. http://www.residenciaustralia.com/residencia.html It's located off of Placa Catalunya.

The hotel sietes suizas also has suites that will hold four, and it's located near the Sagrada Familia.

In Europe Double is always one bed. Twin is 2 beds! I'm not sure if this is a worldwide thing but definately is over here.

Oh and alot of hotels in Europe are now completely non-smoking. In the UK all public places are which is fantastic for us non-smokers as of July but before that I know most large hotels had already changed to non-smoking across the whole of Europe.

Have a great time Julie! See you in Barcelona!


Teresa

Thank you! See you soon!

And to the person wanting a room to hold 4 in Barcelona, we will be at Hotel Continental Palacete and have a suite for 4 . . .

Here is the link to the Thread on Euro's. Someone did post that it was $300.00 per cruise.

Thanks for finding it. I got sidetracked then forgot. But with a $300 limit, I'll be getting some at home before we leave.

Hello Everone.

I just wanted to Welcome another Lady to the Palo Brunch on 8/20.
Nancy of BishopFamily is joining the fun.

BTW - most of the Ladies attending haven't met before - what about name tags? Oh - very tasteful - maybe a Mickey tag?? Tink - Minnie??
Just a thought!!

Happy Thursday all!

Thanks for the reminder!!

I will post the list of Ladies I have and others who wish to join can let me know. Info needed: full names & ressie #. (I have yours)

So far I have a list of 18 Ladies for Afternoon Tea at Palo on 8/27. That date doesn't conflict w/other groups.

The private room isn't available for Tea - so I will RUN to Palo as soon as I embark and reserve table(s) for us.
