DD & I are going to the beach also in Olbia. We are going to reserve the Coda Cavallo Beach.

Anyone else doing this?

News I have News

I have put in a request for the secret Palo room for 10:30 on the 17th which is our first day at sea, but we will not hear until one month before we cruise if we get it, so i propose that if you want to go make haste to get a Palo for Brunch that first day, and if we get the room then Hurrah!

I also put in a request for the SPR (secret Palo room) the High Tea on the 22nd at 3.

You probably know this, but I will tell it anyway:

Formal night: June 17 (first day at sea)
Semi Formal night: June 22 (second day at sea)
Pirates night: June 23 (Marsielles)
Semi Formal night part Deux June 25 (Villefranche)

It was confirmed that we can check in and leave the ship to explore Barcelona.

I asked about the time of the bus pick up time at the hotels, and would we be able to put our luggage outside the door like at the Orlando Airport Hyatt?

They are getting back to me with those answers.

And the answers are:

Your luggage will be picked up from you hotel room the morning of your cruise and delivered to the ship (just like it is done at WDW).

You transportation to the ship will be leaving your hotel at 12 noon and will arrive approximately 12:30p. Please make sure your entire party is downstairs at the bus pick up area 30 minutes prior to the departure time.

Theresa,

Should we all individually put in the palo's on those dates and time and tell DCL that we are a group?

Purtypat,

I was planning on the same beach excursion in Olbia, I have to wait until the 18th to book. These excursions are head spinning!

Marie,

Are you booking the "Day at the Farm" tour in Sicily? I think my DD is going to like it.

Theresa,

I am not sure how to book either, individually or reserve palo's on the date?

Patricia

 

[Worktoplay]

Purtypat,

I haven't decided on Sicily yet, In LeSpezia I want to do the Cinque Terre and Pisa so I have to pick one. I doubt I could do both even on a private tour since I think you need a boat to get to Cinque Terre. I printed every excursion and now I'm narrowing down. I could spend hours in front of the computer but my husband won't let me! LOL

Hi Yall

At this point everyone needs to book their own Palo and tea, and hopefully the room will come through later on.

Is any one staying at the Renaissance and taking Disney transportation? We are thinking of booking this hotel and then going back to the airport to catch the Disney bus on Saturday. I was just wondering if we should let Disney know we are not on a flight but taking the shuttle back from the hotel and where we should meet the bus if we do this.
(still trying to get the hang of posting here) Thanks..

Hi There~

We are a party of 3 myself, DMIL, & DD12. We are staying at the Renaissance airport hotel.

I think Worktoplay Maire & her DS12 is staying there as well.

How many are in your party. Do you think we can hire a van service to bring us to the port? Is anyone interested?

Let me know, & I will look into it, & get prices.

Patricia

 

[Worktoplay]

Purtypat,

I am definitely interested in the van to the port and yes, it is for myself and DS12.

Marie

Thanks for the reply, a van would be great. We will be booking the hotel Saturday (still waiting to see if any Disney hotels open up). We are also 3 myself, DW, and DD-12. I will post again on Saturday and let you know for sure if we will be staying there. We will be coming in on the 14th so if we are there maybe we can meet up. 3 12year olds wow my DD will be happy

JMCDonnel04 and LisaTX,

We are also going to DLP before the cruise. Sounds like we have similar plans. We arrive in Paris on June 12 and are staying at the Marriott Vacation Club. We also plan to do a tour of Paris.

My 6 year old grandson will be excited to meet your 7 year olds cuz he loves girls. We will be flying to BCN on the 2:00 PM flight out of Orly on the 16th.

Our party consists of me, DSIL, DD, and DGS (6)

Brian,
We were booked with Disney for our hotel. It turns out, that they will only let 2 people stay in one room, the 3rd person has to book another room. Each room was $350.00. We didn't want to spend $700.00 for a hotel room when we could get the Renaissance, for : £109.11 airport shuttle to hotel & breakfast included.

Hi pmm0724

What days are you guys planning to go to the parks? or have you gotten that far?

We will have been "over there" for 10 days before the cruise starts - i hope we are not too worn out! - it all sounded great originally

Speaking of wearing yourself out - anyone considering doing Pisa AND Cinque Terre??

I am WAY overthinking this.

 

[PURTYPAT1]

Does, anyone know, if we will be able to use the internet while cruising? Good way to keep in touch with family back home. If so, what would the price be.

Marie, I will look into a car service for us on Saturday, what time, should I ask for 11:00 am? What time is everyone getting to the port????

I think we are planning 13 and 15 at parks and 14 th for Paris tour.

 

[taysmom]

I will be bringing my laptop with me. They have assured me there will be wireless available...for a price. They also have and internet cafe which costs too. She said the prices would be available closer to cruise time.

Hey, I am 16 as well. I dont have a myspace (parents ) however, I do have an email as well as an aim address. My little brother (14) tried to set up a thread similiar to this one out on the teen section, however it quickly got buried with only one reply.
