Is anyone cruising with me on the August 27th 2011 Meditteranean Cruise? Hellooooo?

[diane aggelidou]

We have also finished plans and done the door magnet sheets/FE/flag etc
Now only things left sunbathing for tan top up in garden or beach and trying to pack our luggage within weight restrictions!

How many are on second dining????????
How many dressing as pirates???????

Any info yet on actual cruise programme for sure ???????????

Med now hot/sunny

I just finished my Fish Extender yesterday too, and looking at it hanging there, maybe i'm not done... I might personalize it so it doesn't grow legs and walk off..... so maybe i'm not done still deciding.

But next on my list is FE Gifts. But right now, i'm multitasking and searching for a good sized toiletry bag, ours has gotten too small for the 4 of us.... anyone have a good recommendation?

I have found that toiletry bags take too much space and have gotten into using large ziploc bag for each person then putting into a small packing cubes.

Thanks for info!

I have also cancelled Drach Caves as many negative reviews but a good thing as done further research into Marineland so will share findings:
Maineland easily accessible by public bus from palma, cost approx 2 euro
Tickets park/show times etc adults 20 euro/kids14 approx day pass incl all shows:
Also available dolphin encounters!
web site has reduced ticket costs+printable discount coupons
www.marineland.es

I wonder how much it would cost to get to marineland in a taxi? Anyone got a price?

That actually sounds like a good idea, cause now that you pointed it out.... it does seem like toiletry bags take up more space than they save. Smart thinking, i'll have to bring it up to DH. Thanks!

Nice dress.

I think I will skip formal night. I have a balcony room for the first time I think it will be room service on the balcony that night.

Are you traveling alone? In that case I too would skip formal night. In fact we aren't sitting with anyone we know so we could be dressing up for ourselves for all I know! He! Is it possible to just get one formal picture taken by Shutters ?

Yes I am. DCL seems to do a really good job with their seating assignments I am sure you will be with some other couples, but I did notice last summer it was much less formal in the dining rooms.

No need to spend formal night alone....we will be around and not sure that we will be participating either...I don't feel like getting dressed up and hauling the outfit/shoes/curling iron and all the other jazz for one night

Marineland is 20 euro in taxi if interested????????

ps formal night!go for it! In Med it is a big deal to dress to impress!

 

[diane aggelidou]

You guys! It is Med!Formal dressing is part of the experience!

 

[diane aggelidou]

I think formal night is the ideal time to meet all in a family orintated place after dinner(kids too) to get to know one another??????????Anyone else agree!?

 

[diane aggelidou]

For me,dressing for evening meals is normal?????Here in Greece it is expected,sort of transformers,from Bikini& shorts to evening etire!

 

[diane aggelidou]

sorry atire!

 

[diane aggelidou]

Weather fabulous at present! here 35
nice tan and breeze!
I am hoping during cruise,summer med storms will not occur! fingers crossed!
Pack sunscreen and aloevera (after sunburn) if not tanned previously!
Also,immodium handy and mosquitto repellant and after lotion!

 

[diane aggelidou]

ps I have been here now 19 years!seems like lifetime! Those of you who meet Tiff,little patience,of course speaks and understands English,but it is her dual language and not first!Same for hubby,you will see, we speak a lot in Med Greek as well as English as this is our life! Expect us to interchange between both!

Actually, formal night is one of the busier nights on board. There is always one of the bigger and nicer shows (it will probably be Twiced Charmed which is a great twist on the Cinderella story). There is generally a family dance party (sometimes a masquerade ball) and an adults only one as well and, of course, people are all trying to get photos done in their nice attire. So, while I think it is a great thought to try to get everyone together, personally I believe you will find this is not the best time for it.

Hadn't there already been talk about meeting up right before or after the drill on embarkation day

I agree. We "dress" for dinner EVERY night on the ship and we go all out on formal night. It is a big part of the fun of cruising for us (yes, even for the kids).

I only want to get a photo of us on formal night. How do I go about signing up for that with Shutters? I don't want to buy a photo package.

Check the navigator and they will list the time photos will be taken in the lobby with the characters and also the different back grounds. Go to shutters later and go through the pictures. You do not need to buy a package single 8x10 is approx $20 and small ones are $10.

Usually during diner photographers also go around to take pictures.


There are also terminals where you can view the pictures.
