We did this on our Christmas cruise and had a really great time. We actually had T-shirts made up so we could all wear them on the first day. We also had several meets including one before the sail away party and one where we took over half of Palo. We also had a wine party one afternoon. We booked Sessions for a special event and everyone brought a bottle or two of wine and we ordered up some food and had a really nice time. Even if people didn't drink wine they still came for the get together. The other thing we did that was really fun was to request the same dinning rotation and we linked all of our reservations together so we would be at tables in the same area. This was a lot of fun and it was great to have your friends dinning around you. If anyone is interest in doing some of these things I would be willing to organize some or all of them.
On one of the sea days we will also be having a DIS-meet in our cabin. If we get to many people, we might do it like an open house for a short time period.

Theresa - yes, we had the wine event in Sessions in the afternoon. We picked a sea day and reserved for 3:30 or 4:00. Like I said before everyone brought a bottle or two of wine and we just mingled and tasted some wine and got to know the other DISers a little better. It really was a lot of fun.
Please thank you so much for the updates to our page music is great but how do I stop it?
Dont worry I am thoroughly enjoying it.
Received a page of literature from the Itialian State Tourist Department in London so am going through it. They have also sent a great map of Rome and Naples with tourist ideas. I see they do an open top bus trip around rome I think it does about 15 km in 90 minutes around the sites. Dont know if it is the sort you can hop on and off but will keep investigating.
If anyone has any specific questions I may be able to look them up and report back.
The music has really cheered me up on what is a very grey drab monday morning here in England. Promises of sunshine later but will not hold my breath on that one. Someone must be getting our share.

Teresa,
Many thanks - I was so excited hearing the music just kept letting it play.
Do hope we can all meet up somewhere on the cruise. This was arranged for our Western which went East because of Wilma last year and unfortunatley did not get to meet up with anyone as everything changed.
Had a great time still but it would have been nice. A lady made us beautiful badges and delivered to my room but did not leave her room number so that did not help.

The webpage is looking great! I'm hoping we get more people to join in. I'd really like for my oldest son (he'll be 11 1/2 on the cruise) to meet someone ahead of time he could hang with on the ship. On our last cruise this past September, he wouldn't stay in the club too much, which made it hard for my husband and me to do much besides keep him company. (It didn't help that I broke my foot 3 days into the cruise, either.)
Karen,
My son will also be 11 1/2 when we cruise. His last cruise, he, too, didn't spend a lot of time in the organized activities. I felt like it would have been so much nicer for him if he had had someone to hang out with, but he's not one of those kids who immediately goes out and meets people. So... the clubs weren't a good place for him to make new friends.
He's trying to learn a little Spanish so he can speak to people in Barcelona (but it sounds like many of the people in Barcelona would rather that we speak Catlan(?)). I think Spanish is all he's up to -- with a few words of French and Italian thrown in, of course.
What dinner seating are you doing? I haven't sent our information in to the website yet, mostly because I'm lazy. (I'm a teacher and it's the end of the school year. Crazinesssss.)
Anyway, I'd love for our sons to "meet up" on the web before we go. DS is extremely interested in rollercoasters. Has your son been on any of the big California coasters? That would be a great starting conversation. DS is ALWAYS asking, "When can we go to CA to try some coasters out there?" (I like to remind him that flying to California just to ride roller coasters is a little extreme.)
Gotta run. Time to make dinner. Can't wait for EVERYTHING!

We also were checking for hotels and were shocked by the prices. Should we be worried?
Also concerned by the airfare. We had budgeted $800 pp. Don't know if we can do it for that.
What are others thinking about airfare prices? Hotel prices? We know that there are lots of other hotel options. Panic time yet?

Hi Bill,
I don't think it's panic time yet because it is hard to compare prices when you can't pull anything up for June 2007 yet. I would give it some time and see what the prices are when we can check exact dates. I alo think there are plenty of nice hotels out there that will be cheaper than the ones DCL chose. If you do a search on expedia you can get really good information and reviews on the hotels.

Hi again Bill,
I just did a quick search on tickets and like I said it is hard to determine prices for next June. A ticket out of NYC to Barcelona in June 2006 was around $900, but a ticket on the same route in March 2007 was $550. One reason the June ticket is more expensive is because it is so close. I think the important thing with airfare is to check prices when they come available to book which is 330 days out. That is what I plan on doing. Hope this helps some.

Just thought I'd say hi... 
I just found this thread and my family and I are going to be on the 11 night cruise on June 16th. My name is Lauren and I am a 20 year old Early Childhood Education major in college right now. On the cruise it will be my parents (DVC members), my 2 sisters (ages 23 and 16) and of course me! We are in 2 category 6 staterooms, I don't know the numbers off the top of my head. We are really excited for this cruise as we have never been out of the country before!

Hi Lauren!
Just PM your info to me and the webmaster (ds) will put it on our website.
Bill, I had no idea what to expect for airfare, I just know that when I was checking for air from Houston this summer it was running about 1,300 PP. I was only checking non stops so maybe that makes a difference.
DS 18 and I are going to a competitive robotics championship on Wednesday, so wish us luck!

We are team 118, the robonauts--Galileo division, robot named Magnum.
This is his last year--I will miss it
