Hi All. I just booked for this cruise. I know I am late to the party and have a LOT to read to get caught up. I will be traveling with my DH , DS (14) and DD (12) They don't even know we are going yet! IS there anyone who has arranged for transportation from London? Please send me anything you think I should know. I really appreciate any help as I have a lot to plan! CANT WAIT! Donna emailusnow@cox.net is my address... THANKS!

Welcome!

We are using Coastal Cars to Dover.

Welcome! I saw that you did the Baltic last year in July. We did the June Baltic - so much fun! Would you like to join our FE? I think it will end up being a nice small group so it won't take up too much time or space in your luggage. Post stateroom, names, ages and any food allergies. We are taking the train from London to Dover the day before the cruise.

Happy planning!

We get to reserve our port adventures tonight. Yay! I took a quick peek at our ports and noticed that there have been some new shore excursions added. If anyone is planning port adventures you may want to take a peek.

I can't book until 3/19.
Our two Norway ports are what I will be looking for with DCL. Hopefully, there will be some availability left!

Just planned a last minute (sorta) trip to WDW so I've been busy planning that!

 

[o&smom]

Have fun in WDW! If you let me know which port adventures you are interested in I can let you know their current status. I will post back about Palo as well. I have read that on the cruise prior to ours Palo brunch bookings were taken by platinum cruisers. We have always had good luck getting a ressie on the ship even if we could not reserve on line.

 

[MeeskaMooska13]

Thanks!! I haven't had a chance to really look hard at the Norway port excursions yet, but I will let you know! As far as Palo, as a single mom, it's really not in the cards for me to eat there (kids will only be 15 & 16) but thank you so much for the encouraging words!

Just finished making our reservations, and we got everything that we wanted! Hip, hip, hooray! There were a few port adventures already sold out. (Mostly private vehicles.) This was the case for both ports in Norway. I will check back in a day or two to see if anything has changed. Palo brunch was still open on all 4 sea days!

Happy planning everyone!

I'll join!

Room 6126: Kim, Breck (16), Campbell (15). Campbell can't have gluten.

My daughter is gluten free too. She is 14.

100 Days!!

I am looking at the Hardanger fjord trip in Bergen and the Lysefjord trip in Stavenger (although in Bergen, we might just do the funicular and walk around Bergen on our own - not sure yet). Of course, on the date my booking window opens up, I'll be out of town working! Not looking forward to staying up late to get this done all the while loosing valuable sleep over it - I know, first world problems!

 

[o&smom]

oops, sorry!

We wanted the Hardanger Fjord trip too, but it wasn't available. I think it's because we're only in Bergen for 5 hours. We're just wandering around on our own instead. We did manage to book the Lysefjord by land and sea excursion on Gold booking day.

That's good to know! It sounds like we should do what you're doing in Bergen. Hopefully that Lysefjord excursion will still be available!

Yes, I had called Disney about the Hardanger excursion prior to booking, because it showed longer than our port time. They were no help, and said that we had to wait for our booking window to open and see what showed up. It, obviously did not. As of right now, both of the Lysefjord excursions are still open.

Good luck!

I would like to join the fe group... how many are there?

Thanks!

Thanks!

You would be the third family to confirm. I expect we will have between five and ten in our group by the time we cruise. There are usually some latecomers, and hopefully we can keep our exchanges fairly simple so we can allow people to join up through the end of May. Go ahead and post cabin number, names, ages of kids and any food allergies.

Cannot wait to see you on the cruise!
