Good morning everyone!

I am getting super excited! We are booked on the 7/18 Baltic cruise and have had this booked cruise booked as well since day one, but I assumed we were going to have to cancel. But we decided we are in for sure now!

We PIF on Monday and booked our excursions and Palo last night! YIPPEE!!!

We are me (Nicole), DH (Jay), Andrew 18, Sarah, 16, Casey, 15, Emily 12 and Jessie 5.

I can't wait to get to know you guys and I look forward to some really interesting looking ports!

Welcome aboard, lucky you getting to do both, I was so hoping to be able to do both also, but it did not work out.

I remember reading about your train trip to get to the PC cruise, sounds like you had a great trip.

Welcome aboard Poohmomof5 - I would love to do the last Baltic and our cruise, sounds a great trip. I have jokingly said all along that if I win the Lotto I will tag the last Baltic and the first Med after our cruise on to make a month long trip.... Still time for my numbers to come up!

I booked the train from Victoria Station to Dover for July 29 at 10:22 I used NationalExpress.com and there were no fees. Of course took forever as my MC never seems to work for foreign transactions which is a pain as my MC has the annual travel insuance plan.

Now I have to think about the London Eye, everyone I talk too says it is a must, but I hate to prepay something and then we get there and the girls are too tired to do anything.

I would book it, it is quite a relaxing ride round so even if you are tired it doesn't require much energy!

Our family from California will be joining you! We are a family of four - our son is 9 (almost 10 by the time of the cruise) and our daughter is 8. This will be our 6th Disney Cruise. We can't wait! Since we are Gold, we were able to book everything a couple of days ago. Palo Dinner, Brunch and High Tea were all still available for all of the times. For excursions, a couple of things - the Lisbon Highlights tour in the afternoon was no longer available. Also, in Cadiz, the White Villages and the Mt. Villages tours both leave in the afternoon and run from approx. 1:00-7:00 p.m. We like to do early excursions, so we chose something else. If anyone wants me to check excursion times, let me know.

Welcome aboard, it is exciting to hear people booking excursions, it makes it seem so much closer. What excursions did you book, my kids are similar ages to yours and I am always interested to see what other kids enjoy?

There was a day last week, that the Canadian Legion is pushing to have a special poppy made to commemorate Vimy Ridge, like the Nov 11 day poppy, so we were talking about WW2 and my oldest was very interested in D day, but I think those excursions would be too long of a day, so I am looking for 4-5 hour excursions.

We chose the Beaches of Normandy (7:45-1:30); Half Day at Santiago de Compostela (10:45-4:30); Lisbon Highlights (9-1:15); Cadiz City Walking Tour (10:15-1:45); and Rock Tour (8:15-10:15). We generally try and stick with the shorter excursions too. My son has been reading up on the D-day beaches and is really excited. This is something they will eventually study in school, so we thought it would be great for them to see in person.

I never noticed a half day Beaches of Normandy excursion, I will have to take a look at that one, but 7:45 is pretty early for my daughter, she is not exactly speedy in the morning, especially on the cruise as all her favorite things in the club seem to go late.

Welcome CaliforniaCastaway

Did you book the guided trip to Santiage de Compostela or just the transportation and tour Santiago on your own? We also enjoy the shorter excursions with time to visit the ports ourselves.

Yes getting up is the tough part but it was worth it!!

Counting down to May 1....Sad that we live in Florida and I am only 120 miles from the Port and worse yet my Mom only lives 20 minutes from the Port and this is just our third cruise. We have only cruised once from PC...

Maybe the family will get as excited as I do about Disney cruising when the Dream arrives.
