Euro Magic Med 7 Night Cruise Aug 20 - 27 2011

[MRAven]

I spoke with my cruise co-ordinator and we confirmed our booking for this cruise. We will be disembarking from the Ruby Princess 12 night cruise from Venice to Barcelona on Saturday morning, August 20th, and then schlepping our bags down the pier to board the Euro Musketeers Med Magic Cruise. It will be my tenth cruise (and Linda's eleventh) and the first Disney Cruise for both of us.

We have joined the Facebook group and are very excited to meet all of the Euro Musketeers and experiencing the Magic, first hand.

Regards,
Jerry (and Linda)

Great Jerry Don't think twice to ask anything. For example, today, our Facebook page went "viral" with all the comments on booking shore excursions and Palo reservations. DCL's web page crashed for a few hours this morning.

Once again, glad you are joining Us. See you soon.

Welcome Jerry and Linda .... ignore my FB message to you from yesterday, Mel told me to look for you on here

So many cruises done already, but never a Disney .. you'll love it I hope.

This will be my 4th Disney cruise, in fact, my 4th cruise overall as I've never been unfaithful to Disney!! I have my 5th one booked for next year sailing out of Galveston, Texas

My partner Mick and I were supposed to visit Vegas last year but the Icelandic ash cloud stopped us .. ended up just spending 10 nights in California instead .. not a hardship!!

Anyway ... don't forget to come over to FB to keep up with things. As Manny says, we also have a few pages on The Dibb which is a British version of this site. Just as friendly for sure

Take care and welcome onboard the Euro Mousketeers Cruise!!

Hello Joa,

Thank you for the warm welcome. We are confident we will have a great time on the Disney Magic. We have never had a bad cruise yet, and our grandson gave the Magic excellent reviews. He was on the March 16-23 sailing this year.

We have some friends and family in Spain so we planned our trip so we could have a two week layover in Barcelona to travel down the coast to visit them. Then on September 10th we will be back on board the Magic to head to Port Canaveral.

See you in three months.

Jerry

Hi Danielle, very glad you are sailing the Mediterranean. To answer your question about Euro Mouseketeers:

Euro Mouseketeers is the name we gave to our group on this particular Disney Cruise: Western Mediterranean 7 Nights Cruise on The Disney Magic August 20th, 2011.

We are a group of people that have met here on the Disboard and also on the Dibb (Disney with a British Accent) and we have one thing in common:

To have the best Disney Cruise Ever.

Our main goal is to help eachother with cruising tips and with other people's Mediterranean experiences so when we are there we can enjoy it the fullest.

We also have meetings to greet each other before the cruise, during and after the cruise. We have T-shirts with logo, Fish Extender Exchange, Wristbands to identify ourselves everywhere (there's about 60 of us so far including children and teens)

We also have our Facebook page which is private for security and privacy reasons and we are from many places around the world, US, UK, I'm from Venezuela.

If you and your family are on the August 20th DCL Mediterranean Cruise you are very much welcome to join us and you and your family can become Euro Mouseketeers.

Wishing you a very happy Cruise planning Danielle

Hi Danielle

Are you on the cruise too?

The Euro Mouseketeers is the name for our group on the 20th August Med cruise, we just came up with the name ourselves and hey presto

You can be one too if you're sailing with us

Thanks so much! Ill ask my parents!

 

[MRAven]

My best wishes to all the people that have been afected very hard by the tornados in the South and Mid West of the USA.

Ask them where it would take place ?

Last year Manny it was in Sessions so it might be there again this time but I'll ask. Any preference?

No preferences Melanie, Sessions would be great.

I just thought that if they confirm you place and time it's like more real.


82 Days untill we are back on The Magic

 

[MrGLWatson]

We are 100% booked on al the excursions we had planned.

I'm glad I did it at this time, 12:30 am, there were already some excursions not available. Who said the ship was empty ?

I was not able to book Palo b/c dear doughter Liliam still shows as minor therefore couldn't get her on the reservation so I just didn't bother with it; after all, we are going to Italy and probably will be eating great italian food, I hope.

Don't forget to CONFIRM your reservation or you will loose it.

90 days untill sailing Euro Mouseketeers, 90 Days

Guess who booked his places at 05:10 am and then did not confirm them

By the time I realised that you had to confirm (later on that day), all the brunch places had gone.

Oh well, at least I've saved $100

 

[MrGLWatson]

Hello, I'm the Ellen,

We've just booked this cruise 2 weeks ago. We're on GTY inside.
We had booked the cruise on the 27th on the ship last year when we did a 11-night Med on the Magic in August and were doubting what we would do in the week before, finally we decided to do our first b2b so we're very excited.

Introducing my Family:
Ellen, DH, DD15 and DD9. We're from the Netherlands so it is easy for us to fly into Barcelona what we will do on Friday before our cruise. Last year we stayed in the Novotel City centre which we liked. (Also because there is a shopping Mall acros the street with a Disney shop and a supermarket were we stocked movie candies, candies for the kidsclub castmemebers and Cava).

This will be our 3th cruise and our second in the Med. Last year we did an excursion with Disney in Tunis and in Valetta, the Harbours we do not visit this time.

This year's intineary:
- Barcelona: Early to the ship to see if we can get an upgrade and enjoy the lunch at Parrot Cay, if necessary make dining arrangements, Salon ressies etc.Girls go to their clubs.
- Villefranche: Tender, enjoy the tendering to the beautiful city of Villefranche. There will be a market directly on the shore that we will pay a visit. There are lovely café's in the Harbour and it is a nice and pretty town to stroll around. Early back on the ship as we hope to be able to scheule in some massages and girls can then join their clubs
- La Spezia Tender leave with an early tender
Buy Birg tickets for Rome and shop around in this beatiful small italian town. Last year we did Cinque Terre perhaps we take a boat to one of the cities. (Docks right next to the tendering spot) Early back on the boat a kind of sea day.
- Cittavechia leave as early as possible and take train to Rome an do Rome ourselves
- Naples visit Herculaneum and Capri on our own. (Herculaneum by train, then train to coast and boat to Capri and back to Naples by boat).
- Sea day Brunch at Palo's and enjoy the ship
- Malta beautiful city been there several times before will do the harbour on our own and visit a beach with the girls
- Barcelona, hop of for an hour in the morning and then back on the ship again.....

I'm interested in tours which others already have organised so if you have 4 spots left on a tour feel free to PM me.

I'm a Disney lover for live and the kids are also pretty addicted. We visit Disneyland Paris on a regular base as we've had a yearpass for 10 years now. Been several times to Disneyworld in Florida.

If you have plans to vist Disneyland Paris before the cruise then we recommend the Marriott near Disney. This compex has small 2 or 3 bedroom villa's and is really nice.

Really looking forward to enjoy this cruise and what a nice welcome we had on the Facebook page!

Ellen


Numerous visits to DLP since 1998. Disney world Orlando 1993-Disneyworld Orlando May 2001- Disney World Orlando May 2005- Disney Wonder and Universal Feb 2010- Disney Magic Med 7th August 2011-Disney Magic Cruise Aug 20th-3 Sep 2011 (our first b2b)

I'm pretty sure that this cruise does not go to Malta.

It happens, but don't worry, there's still chance. People will cancel, plus about a 10% DCL reserves for any VIP; so you keep checking periodically or on boarding day go straight to Guests Services.

You're correct I ment Mallorca, Malta was last year

84 Days till sailing day

OK dear Euro Mouseketeers the wristband orders are closed as of now. I placed the order according to the list.

It's funny to see how the true children of The Magic (adults) tripled the real children on wristbands. I think we need a new future DCL ship called Neverland.


80 Days 'till sailing day

 

[Florida Mel]

Hi all

I just need your room no's now so I can book the session. If you could PM these to me by 20th June 2011 that would give me plenty of time to make the arrangements with DCL

If you have not been allocated your room no by then don't worry just let me have the full names of everyone of the session and I will add those to the booking

Bye for now, Mel x

 

[ddleffers]

I am new to the whole cruising thing and wonder if we know in advance which evenings are formal, semi-formal, pirate, etc...

 

[MRAven]

I am new to the whole cruising thing and wonder if we know in advance which evenings are formal, semi-formal, pirate, etc...

Hi DD I'm not 100% sure but this is what I've picked Up so far:

- If you are dining in any of the rotaition restaurants (Parrot Cay - Lumiers - Animators Palate) they are semi-formal.

- Formal night is on second night (sunday 21st)
- Pirate night is on thursday night, our only sea day
- Parrot Cay Rest is the less fancy of the three while Lumiers is the most fancy one.

BUT this might change considering that 7 night Med cruises are practicaly new starting July so to be 100% sure we are expecting to see the Navigators from previous 7 night cruises to ours. The Navigator is the event planner that they give you on a daily basis. They will give you some tickets on first day informing your restaurant rotation.

Palo restaurant is formal any night.

If you are on first seatting (should say on your reservation) it's at 6:30 pm. Second seatting is at 8:30 pm.


74 Days 'till sailing day
