Hey guys! I just finished typing up a few word docs for the cruise! One is just as easy print list of everyone's names, room #'s, and fellow travelers organized by floor. The other is a FE list organized by floor with everyones names, ages, ect;

I'd be happy to send it to anyone that may want it. Just PM me your email address

Thanks so much

Cindy is right. I would guess your travel agent might have them at this point

Yes, and every time I use her I get annoyed with something, I don't think she is very good. One cruise I could only get 3 out of the 4 of us on our cruise we wanted, I finally got the quad not my TA, worthless...

She probably has your documents. Have you checked with her? Some TA's have them sent directly to the client. And I would get a new TA for future cruises. She may have them and just hasn't sent them. But honestly everything you need is online except luggage tags which you can get at the port. Less convenient that way though.

I was looking at the event list posted on the first page. What is the Secret Itinerary Tour? Or is it a secret

The Secret Itinerary tour is something offered at Doge's Palace. It's only a couple of times each day, limited number of tickets. We discovered that several of us booked the tour for the same time

A euro is what I saw on tripadvisor.

My very first cruise I booked with a "cruise specialist" that I found in the yellow pages....sounds like your TA, I would make sure any future bookings go with someone else.

Plenty of DCL specialists that will give you great service and a decent OBC.

thanks! lc

Avengers
Brave (2 and 3D)
Oz
Finding Nemo
Frankenweenie
Wreck It Ralph
Lincoln
Iron Man 3

Shoot, I was hoping you would post that you had them.

Everyone if you booked this cruise using an on board booking and are gold and up check your OBC! Call DCL or have your TA check. There seems to be a glitch with DCLs computers that when we got the refund for the port taxes, which DCL recognized as a ressie change which it isn't and it reset all of those of us who had bookings pre May 15th last year to 200. I saw a post o. The main board and forwarded it to my TA who contacted DCL and my OBC had reset to 200. DCL agreed that I had made no changes and reinstated my OBC to 275 per room.

If there is a graphic for this cruise, can someone post the link for me. Looked on Facebook and didn't see anything. I thought I remembered someone doing something with Venice.

Thanks!

We leave in 5 days for Orlando, then off to Paris!
