FAVORITE EXCURSION (DCL, PRIVATE or ON OWN)?
Mine was touring Rome with Rome in Limo. So much history in our eight hour trip. The rest of the family loved Villefranche through Revelations Tours. Everything was so beautiful and the perfume factory in Eze was a big hit too.
WHAT YOU WISHED YOU PACKED?
Pants with a security pocket. I got my wallet stolen in Pamplona after the cruise.
WHAT DID YOU BRING BUT DIDN'T USE?
Rain gear. Our backup camera.
FAVORITE DINNER ENTREE/DESSERT?
The sea bass was the best meal I had on the entire cruise. The chocolate pots in Palo were the best dessert followed closely by the chocolate lava cake.
FAVORITE SHOW?
Twice Charmed. We liked all of them except Villains Tonight. Seemed like that one was trying too hard to be contemporary and cool and the humor fell flat with us more often than not.
BEST EXAMPLE OF "DISNEY MAGIC" COURTESY/SPECIAL TREATMENT ON SHIP?
The therapist in the Vista Spa spending extra time (without charge) with my wife on her hair treatment because it had gotten badly damaged right before we left for the cruise. Her hair never looked better than after that treatment.
ONE SUGGESTION OR AREA OF IMPROVEMENT?
Shorten the "pre=show" on Fireworks night. The guide said they started at 10:00, but after all the singing and dancing, they didn't actually go off until 11:00. A couple of our friends with small children couldn't stay to the end because of all the dancing and the kids missed the fireworks. At least let people know in advance they won't go off until 11:00 so they can decide whether or not their kids will be able to last that long.

It sure smells good in our kitchen though! All the perfume and cosmetics made it safely too! And we're stocked in the perfume dept for the next 5 years!
So now, its off to do all the dirty laundry and think about another trip.
Wait, there may be one in the works...just called a girlfriend and asked if she wanted to do the transatlantic with me in Sept. DH already gave his blessing!
So just waiting for an all clear from her! Anyone ready and able to sail again in 8 weeks? Come on, it will be so much fun! 
But how cool that you went to Pamplona! Did you run witht he bulls?
Early on in our planning for this trip my DH wanted to go to Pamplona following the cruise. He didn't want to run but wanted to watch from a balcony. We didn't end up following through with that plan. Hope you had a good time despite your misfortune.
