Jeff!

I'm envious you will be on our ship next month!! I can hardly wait for the Baltic sailing!

We have a friend who always books the same cabin on the Magic. That's really cool that you are doing the same. You should hide a note somewhere in the cabin and see if it's still there in July!

Hello, another UK family here booked up ready for the cruise. Me, wife and 7 year old son. Will be our 3rd cruise (son's second) with DCL.

Will be travelling down from Manchester area the day prior although probably staying a bit north of Dover in order to meet up with family and also use Hilton points for our overnight!

Well the good news is that you do not have any exchange rate risk, but I think you might not be able to prepay tips if booked in £, however using the 'gifts' section under 'planning' on their website you can put on a onboard credit, to your account to offset it.

Interestingly I tried to load $ onto our 4 day Bahamian cruise this year, which was booked in £, and I was only allowed to add credit in £ which they would convert (I was trying to pre-load as the rate was good).

Ironically this time round we've booked in $ even though departing from UK as have gone via a recommended TA.

Yes it's one of those strange things you have to have one currency booking, so if booked in £ then everything is £ if $ all dollar.

My USA TA will only accept USA$ so I book that way and can pre load my ship account, and Aldo pre pay tips in $ , before the Scottish vote the £ levels were good to the $ so I paid off the cruise and the tips then and saved about 10c per £ so pleased Roth that.

To avoid switching more £ into $ I have booked all my own private tours, so it's £ direct to Euro or Swedish K, And not covert to dollars then their prices set on their exchange rate yo €

Thanks!

Enjoy!

We have had to cancel our reservation for this cruise. It has just become too expensive for us at this time. Airfare for 2 of us was $4000 alone. Thankfully we did this cruise with Disney back in 2010 so we know you will all have a great time. We are looking into using the DVC points we got back for either a Panama Canal, Alaska or Western Caribbean Disney Cruise next summer. We have done them all before too but, there is no such thing as a bad cruise with Disney! Have a wonderful cruise next July!

So sorry to see you go. Darned airfare - I've noticed that it's often a deal breaker for these overseas cruises. Will your sister, brother-in-law, and friends still be traveling with us?

Both the Panama Canal and Alaskan cruises are on our bucket list. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time on whichever cruise you choose.

Everyone who was sailing with us cancelled as well and all because of costs. We have booked the Wonder for the June 8th Alaska Cruise with one of the couples who were sailing on the Baltic cruise with us. Both of us will be celebrating wedding anniversaries, June 10th and 12th while sailing. Hope you all have a wonderful cruise.

Greetings! My family will be on the Jul 22nd cruise and are really excited! This will be our 4th Disney cruise. Family consists of myself, DH, DD (10), DS (12) and my mother.

We're also signed up for the Adventures By Disney tour for this cruise.

Our plan currently is to spend 2 pre-days in Stockholm and then 1 day in London before joining the cruise. I still need to think through hotels and transportation.
