Hi Everyone,

We are flying from London Gatwick on the morning of the 15th June and staying the night at the Hotel Rey Juan Carlos. We have arranged transport to the port through Blai Limos.
We are in 7094 and have main dining. Our 42nd wedding anniversary is on the 12th June so this was the nearest cruise to that we thought wanting to do the 11 night.

These are our booked excursions.
Palermo - Boat Ride to Zingaro Park.
Olbia Train to Gallura.
La Spezia Cinque Terre Villages a.m.

Have not decided on other ports yet and will just wait and see when we arrive
and make our own way to where we want to go.

Unable to make any Palo reservations

Good Sunday Morning Everyone!

Thanks to everyone who has posted their information so far. The list is coming along and I hope to post it in the next couple of days.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up who might be looking for a Palo reservation or excursion. DCL has now changed their website and you can look to see what is available before you change anything. Just pull up your reservation then click on My Cruise Plans and at the top of your list are 3 yellow tabs: Shore Excursions, Palo, & Spa Reservations. If you click on shore excursions it will bring up all the excursions and you can see what's available. If there are no spots available it says so just below the listing for that excursion. I did click on Palo reservations to check it out and there are still none showing, but it doesn't hurt to keep trying.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Palermo

Naples

Olbia

If anyone that wants a shirt can't get one tonight (or until they kill the shirts again) PM me and tell me when you want me to put them back up.

Thanks a bunch Brian - just ordered them!! -Jodie

 

[taysmom]

Thanks for creating the pirate. My daughter has not taken off the sweatshirt since she got it! I ordered the one w/o. and it looks good too. I got a special treat too for all of us medheads!
If we don't hook up on the first day, I'll bring the magnets to the meet and greet in leilani's room. I will also bring the left over tape and swatches that I have so if anyone else wants one they can make theirs. It won't be laminated..but it'll work.
For all those in Barcelona before the cruise, if anyone wants to meet up there, we should plan something.
Does anyone have any good suggestions for easy and kid friendly dinner places? Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Don't know if anyone saw this but there is a magic fountain show at Placa Espanya....it's at night on thurs or fri. 10pm-12pm and it's free. It looks very pretty. Reminds me of the fountain at the Monte Carlo Hotel in Vegas.

My friend is in paris now. I have her bringing me euros back. Saves about 10 cents a dollar...no big savings, but then I will have it and not have to rush around to find an atm at the airport. I know we'll be exhausted as we'll be travelling for 18 hours and then have to stay up for another 4 to not have jet lag.

I'm excited to see the number of us doing the same thing ...and I'm jealous to see all of you who got florence and pisa. If anyone gives it up, please let me know.

Time to start busting out the luggage and taking the drycleaning in.

Cya all...
Steph

Good Monday Morning Y'all!

Only 5 more Mondays until we sail!

DS 14 hit another home run on Saturday, this one went about the same place as the other, roughly 305 feet. He has never hit two home runs in a season, much less in back to back games.

The pirate shirts are still up--get them while they are hot!
