We are cruising with you all 6/6/07 and have DD17 and DS14 - my daughter is worried she is a little old for the stack and won't meet any one of her age . Also to add complications she only joins the ship in Sicily because of exams and will miss the welcome meeting . Anyone have teens who may want to meet up with her !!

Thanks

If anyone is worried about teens older than 16 being on the boat, i am bringing a crew of what, 9ish. I think there will be plenty of "older" teens for her to hang with in the stack! but if not in there, then around the boat. For sure there are other kids her age, i am bringing them!!

What is everyone doing as for excursions???
Just curious...

Hello everyone! I've been reading these boards for awhile, enjoying the trip reports and planning on a Mexico 2008 cruise (but dreaming of the Mediterranean...). Just last week I noticed the great prices for Cat 12 and managed to convince my husband to book! So we will be joining the June 6 cruise We'll be traveling with 2 little ones: ages 2 and 4. Too bad my toddler is too young for the kids clubs, but hopefully not too young to enjoy the cruise. Now I've got a lot of planning to do...getting passports, etc...We'll be flying in to London and then training thru Paris to Barcelona. I can't wait!

 

[funnybunny921]

welcome to the boards.... i don't know if you have booked any excursions (or if there are many available for little little ones) but i have made a pdf of the info for every one from disney's website. I also made an xls sheet with basic stats for each excursion that we used in decided what to do. If you want them just email me sarahyoung921 at gmail dot com

I am glad you were able to take advantage of the cheaper room rates... it means i won't be the only one in a cat 12

Thanks mHeywood14 and sharolyn for your replies . I was worried teens of this age would all still be in school / college . So it looks like she will have someone to hang around with . She will be in the Stack when she negotiates her flights into Italy ( I am more worried than she is !!) If any of your teens want to get in touch prior to the cruise pm me and I will pass a message on .

Thanks

Hi grizbuzz. Please excuse me for jumping in since I'm not on your cruise, but I see you mention that you are taking the train from Paris to Barcelona, too. I'm on the 6/27 10 night Med and my friend and I are taking the Elipsos trenhotel overnight from Paris to Barcelona. Is that what you booked?

 

[grizbuzz]

I haven't booked yet, but, yes, I'm planning on taking the Elipsos Trenhotel Joan Miró -- tourist class for a family of four. First I'll take the Eurostar from London to Paris and then the Elipsos from Paris to Barcelona.

Hi grizbuzz - lurking here. I am on the June 16th cruise. We are also flying into London. Taking the Eurostar to Paris and the Elipsos to Barcelona. I have already bought my tickets. Below is a link to a trip advisor post. My user name is cmb1216. This should give you some good information about buying your tickets if you have not bought them yet. Good luck.

Hi carolmb -- thanks for the train info! I have a couple questions...did you use Rail Europe for purchase of both legs of travel (London to Paris and Paris to Barcelona)? What website did you use? Did you buy that Rail Protection Plan insurance? Thank for your help!

I did use Rail Europe for both legs of travel but I checked the other websites and I got the best price with Rail Europe. I did not buy the rail protection insurance. Let me know if I can help in any way.

This is our 2nd Disney Cruise (Spring Break 2006 Eastern Caribbean) and 3rd Cruise. Just back from the Western Caribbean on Royal Caribbean for Spring Break. Look forward to meeting everyone.

 

[funnybunny921]

so as we are getting closer to our sail date it looks like there are more and more people joining our thread.

If you all want to email me your info I can compile it and post it or we could make an email list ... i really hope to meet you all while on that big boat.

 

[sharolyn]

i am so excited!!

 

[funnybunny921]

ok I have updated out front page with more info mHeywood what are the 2 ages again... I'll add you when I log back in.

 

[funnybunny921]

so many thoughts not enought time....


ok I am wondering If people would like to share where they'll be staying and/or if people will be making signs for their doors.

Bill and I have a Cat 12 GTY so unfotunatly we won't know for sure until we get there.

I know that Lime Green mickey heads are usually the tell tale sign but I am wondering if people would like we could arrange for some adult meeting times around the pool or cafe or if people would rather arrange meetings on their own.

I am also thinking it would be good to share info about excursions etc.

We are doing 4 DCL sponsored excursions: Pompeii and the Almalfi Coast, Highlights of Rome and the Vatican, Aix en Provence (morning tour) and The Eveing at the Casino.

We want to do Palermo, Olbia, La Spezia, Marseille, and Villefranche at least partly on our own.

so that is all for now. we don't have that much time left people... let's get excited!!!!!
