Hi guys......

Haven't posted here in a LONG LONG time, but our group is still on this cruise, still anxiously awaiting the release of the Disney excursions, and still not sure about our London flights and accomodations.

We liked these two. We're a party of 5 - are you interested in creating a group tour?

Hi Jeff - those links were quite helpful, thanks! I really enjoyed our private tours when we did the med cruise - anxiously waiting to see what DCL has to offer, but I am sure it willbe BIG groups. There are 4 of us - 2 kids 10 and 12. I'm game for a small group if anyone is interested.

We are interested in small group private tour for St. Petersburg...just waiting to see what DCL offers!!!

Hello again!! catching up - need to get going on the planning if we are going to do this! considering switching to the south africa abd (no planning) but....who knows if the Magic will ever sail this way again,right?? does anyone know a source for private excursions? someone on this thread was looking into some in St Petersburg - r u still here? not a bad dilemma to have I know - just can't make up my mind and i have to do it soon - -

I had posted about putting together the group tour. I have been doing some research and will start working on quotes soon. If you're interested just PM me so I can add you to my list. No real commitment at this point.

Just updating.......London hotel accomodations are set......now on to flights and planning what to do in London. And of course the excursions at all the ports. Can't wait for this awesome cruise!

 

[caseyk20]

ok finally everything is booked but the excursions. We are very excited for this cruise!!!!

 

[goingsouth]

the excursions are now listed (without prices, sadly).

Some of them seem interesting.

We have already booked a private (original berlin walks) tour in Germany.
I think we'll stick with it!

Private tour is probably the way to go in Russia, also
but that Catherine's Palace with the characters sounds very unusual

We are going to have some competing interests when it comes to excursions... Some nice assortments there...

 

[denise]

Can't wait for the prices to be listed.....
see a few we like but wondering if we do a private tour what the difference will be? We did both Disney and private on the Med. Really liked the private better. But we spoke those languages and don't speak any of the Baltic ones.

Also is it 120 days prior to the cruise that I have to remove a person who is not going to get my money back? DD BFF would rather buy a car then go on the cruise...go figure....

What do you mean? You aren't getting her deposit back?? That would be a bummer...

 

[denise]

I paid for the girls in full back on the first day. I will get all of it back but I think $95 (transaction fee) just want to make sure I know if it is 120 days or 90 days. I should just do it now since I know....guess part of me keeps thinking she will change her mind....just wanted someone to go with my DD. But after last Oct when she went to Disneyland with us, I think our DD doesn't care....they might be BFF's but they argued so much...DD said never again. BFF was invited for this April to DL but DD said not again!

Isn't any change of people on the reservation considered a cancellation and rebooking?

 

[caseyk20]

Try this link:
http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/c...ch/?facetValueName=fv_Port_copenhagen-denmark

On the left side, it gives you the option of checking which port you'd like to explore. Also, please note that some of the ports have two pages of options.

Have fun planning!

I sure hope not. When I made the reservation I just wanted to put the 3 of us and add her later. They said no add her now because even if the room we get holds 4 the ship might be full and they would not let us add one. I asked if she cancels then what. They said $95 transaction fee because I used DVC points on two of the people. I would get a refund of the cash I spent.
I'm going to call in a couple of days and verify. I just don't want to cancel yet. I doubt if she is joining us but just in case or in case my DD comes up with someone else...

Yay, finally can start some real planning, at least making a wish list!! Who's going to do the Royal Ball? Even my 19 year old is excited about that!

That does sound amazing.
I am just afraid it will be soooo expensive.

Sure wish they would post times and prices.
