July 5 2014 Mediterranean Cruise Meet Thread

[RunnerMomO]

Congrats! We have all flights but the last one from JFK to home. Checked today and the flight went up, but I'll keep waiting!

I still have a few hotels to book including the one after the cruise- guess I better get on that!

Hotels, yeah, we haven't touched those yet. That will be next.

Hi everybody


We are a Family from Austria/Europe, cruising with Disney for the first time.

We means myself (Florian), DW (Janet), DS Julian (4) and DS Constantin (2).

My family doesn't know yet and I intend to keep it that way until we are in front of the ship - let's see if this works out ...


And: I would also like to join the FE team.

I guess you will do all the FE yourself? LOL. Please let is know cabin # to add you in. So it's DH, DW, DS (4) and DS (2)?

We will be coming in by train, so I can't speak to that. Check out this website : http://europeforvisitors.com/venice/articles/vi-index.htm There is a lot of great information, including an article about Left Luggage, you can leave it close to the port, and you might be able to leave it at port, since the ship is in port. Here is a direct link to an article about luggage. http://europeforvisitors.com/venice/articles/venice-left-luggage.htm

Thanks! We will use this!

We have not booked our flights from the states yet. However we do know the flights we are taking and we are going to be booking our inter-Europe flight in the next week. We are working on getting the hotels for the first part of the trip. Can anyone from Germany, recommend a good hotel near the mad Ludwig castle's? That is proving to be the hardest hotel to book.

Okay, let us know when you get your real cabin number and we will update the list.

Check out this handy guidelines for Fish Extenders. We will need to be giving some thought on what number of cabins folks feel comfortable with. We may want to break up the group soon as we are already at 20 cabins and growing and still a ways out.

[weezyree]

Sorry, I can't figure out how to email you to a private address through DISboard. But when you check this again - this is not the final list yet. We will hold it open until 30-45 days out. We will evaluate splitting once we get past 20.

Sounds great. I will keep checking the board weekly. For those sailing with a TBD status, how will we know what their room number is at sailing?? Don't some of those folks find out their room number at check in at the port??

Thanks, Weezyree~

As far as I know, we should have them all before we leave. If not, we will make plans to have a note on a cabin with any changes or tbd cabin numbers. We always bring a magnetic dry erase board for our door...perfect place for messages!

 

[genequeen19]

Just got an email from DCL and the excursions for the various ports are posted. We are starting to get real excited!

 

[Jackie Psarianos]

Hello!

We're sailing on the Disney Magic from Venice as well but are arriving on July 2 because we want to see more of Venice. At cruise end, we return back to Venice late in the day which had us discouraged but we're happy to have added those extra days in advance.

I just finished saving my Port Excursions to my favourites and was happy to see Katakolon (Olympia) and Rhodes with port excursions.

 

[Jackie Psarianos]

Happy that I booked my hotel in Venice before the cruise (July 2) as it gives us a chance to see Venice. At cruise end we arrive back into Venice at supper, not giving us much time to explore. I'm happy now.

All port adventures are up now, including Katakolon (Olympia) and Rhodes. My Favorites folder is ready.

looking forward to trip it has already been a long winter! What hotel did you prebook? We are booked with the ABD add on..anyone else?

 

[genequeen19]

I agree it has been a long winter. On the east coast (USA), the polar vortex is coming back this week (grumbling). Here in the states, there are many calling for open season on the groundhog who dared to predict eight more weeks of winter. However, we will be in Europe soon enough. We are also departing 7/2 but spending our time in Germany. We have gone Venice before and we stayed in the Hotel Campbello. We highly recommend it!

 

[genequeen19]

123 day dance! I am ecstatic because we are paid in full and we just got our airline tickets!

 

[cindyb40]

Hello,

We are very excited to be coming on our second Disney Cruise.

We would like to join the FE. We have not been assign a room yet but will send it when we get it.

There are 5 of us, myself (Cindy), my husband (Joe) and our 3 boys James(turns 11 on cruise), Abraham (8), Elijah (6).

Is there a cap for how many families can join, or will you make 2 group?

We are counting down to sail date.

 

[cindyb40]

Sorry, Abraham is 8.
