May 18, 2013 MAGIC EBTA - Who is with us?

[kris3kid]

I booked all our travel through Disney. They have us flying into George Bush, staying at the Marriott then getting transportation to the cruise ship. It is a bit of a bummer because on both my last cruises I was able to watch the ship come in, my first time it came into port at three in the morning and I got up to see it. We also booked two nights in Barcelona post cruise ans Disney is getting us to the hotel then to the airport on departure day. I know that I do have that transportation booked. What is real odd is that when I try and do flights now it states that it is no longer available. So glad I have it booked.

This sure sounds like a "form letter" response.

No one on this cruise will need a "round-trip" transfer from the Port of Galveston back to IAH or HOU -- it's a Transatlantic cruise!

Exactly what I had thought as well - like it was a copy/paste from a webpage. Now for $60 roundtrip to get us back to that same airport, heck yes, I'd be all over that! $30 to get to ship, $30 to get back home from Europe....

Thanks for the info! Will they do transportation a couple of days before the cruise? Because we are planning to fly in on the 16th May.


Can I have the email address you emailed please? I want to ask her from a UK perspective, because I've been told we cannot book airfare through DCL :-(

Hi Tink, we get the same answer from DCL as we're trying to fly out of a less popular Canadian location. In order to use DCL flights, I can, but they've said I have to get to a major location first. For me, that's probably Toronto. The quote I got for them was quite a bit less than I had found myself using my normal carriers - until I looked at Iceland air. Their price and mine is now about the same.

Hey Everyone,

LySand asked me to add a poll to gauge interest on the Postcard Exchange.

Could you all please look at the survey?

This does not sign you up for the event, it's just a way to get approximate numbers.

Is it just me or do the Madeira excursions seem so much better than Gibraltar? Is Madeira itself that much more interesting?

I have to decide whether I'm going to fly back through Paris or London. I just can't decide. I've been to London a couple times on work but wifey has never. Hmm... Dare I try for both?

Go to Paris (via plane, train, or automobile), then take the Eurostar to London and fly home from there. Obviously - spend time in both cities!

Wishing everyone a wonderful TA crossing! We have jumped ship and will sail on the Magic 1/18/2013 the 8 night stopping at Key West, Port Canaveral (WDW day) and Castaway Cay with 4 sea days.

This is what we are planning. 3 Days in Paris and 3 days in London.

 

[NancyIL]

This is what we are planning. 3 Days in Paris and 3 days in London.

It is also what my 2 daughters and I did in 2010 before a British Isles cruise out of Southampton.

My friend and I will spend 3 days in Barcelona after this cruise ends, and then return home.

Try for both if you are coming all that way
