I love that you said "G-rated"

I'm trying to decide if I'll go to that one. Are other kids coming? I could see my girls enjoying it, but I'm not sure if they'd be up for wearing their jammies while out and about.

Can we join you guys even if we aren't in jammies? We'd skip the picture. But I realize that I'm not sure I'd feel totally comfy wandering the ship in mine. (And they are definitely G-rated.)

Our kiddos enjoyed it last year - a chance to show off their cute Disney PJ's Then we changed for the day after breakfast. But yes - most of the kiddos came, although we did not have that many on our cruise.

Done. Thanks!!

We'll definitely be there! I do need to buy new PJs!

 

[MandyGirl]

Sorry for the confusion. I'm asking about ideas for transportation from a hotel (not the Marriott) near IAH to the port in Galveston.

I'm no help here - we rented a one-way car rental with Enterprise to go from Hobby Airport to Galveston. Hopefully someone will see to share their mode of transportation from IAH

It looks like on EBPC that they dropped to about the same as military rates (list). Of course that's ballparking it... not exact... but gives an idea. That linked list shows all current military rates.

For WBTA 2011 there was a special European rate out (MEO) that was really good as well, and we had the *GT cabins come out closer to sailing as well.

The big question is: when. Before or after the penalty increases from being just the deposit to the next level up of 50%.

So here's my dumb question of the day - does DCL ever come out with Florida Resident Rates for cruises NOT sailing from Florida? (geez, that sounds even dumber after I typed it

I found some great value ones at Asda and Tesco, in fact spoiled for choice so need more than 1 pj Brekkie to wear them all!

 

[Ladyshopper]

I've signed up, although think my two will either still be in bed or in Vibe!

Have never had breakfast in Lumineres, so that will be something new in itself. I am looking forward to being able to chat with people, as being a single parent and also quite shy I don't find it that easy. Difficult to be shy in pj's though!!

My girls don't have Disney jammies . They do have some from Gymbo. Maybe I'll search for some Disney ones.

Looking forward to it. I just told DH that the girls and I would go, knowing that he would not be up for it, and he told me that he wants to join us! Very unexpected. So we'll be signing up.

 

[binkytell]

Do you think he is worried about the people your mixing with here on
The Dis, that on our 1st sea day were all meeting in our pj's

Signed us up

Hope all my other cruisers from the UK are safe and sound with all of this snow.

Birmingham/West Midlands has been shut down! All our local supermarkets have been closed and all buses stopped until the morning now. I just don't understand why we cannot cope with it!!!!

We have not had a snowflake, my kids are looking at everyone's pics and
Are so jealous!!

Thanks for the thinking of us though, have a mickey bar on me

 

[binkytell]

We just starting booking our activities and I noticed on the DCL site, they have added some tour options in Barcelona. So, if you haven't looked at the Port Adventures section recently... take a look now. They specifically have tours that finish with a drop at the airport or the hotel. Bookings will be available on ship... not online.

Interested in this too, is that the visit to Montserrat ??

Would pass few hours till check in time

Has anyone done this tour before?

I'm traveling without my DH for this cruise, just my two youngest DDs. I'm also a SAHM, so my problem is that I tend to talk too much because I'm just THRILLED to be around other adults!!

Fish extender update

Cutoff date will be 6weeks prior to cruise embarkation, April 4th.

General consensus seemed to be around 15 to 20 cabins for each group
Would be manageable, so that's what I will work towards.

If i remember correct then there is somebody cruising from Galveston before the EBTA.

If this is correct then please let me know because i have some questions about stuff available on the Magic...

 

[MandyGirl]

So here's my dumb question of the day - does DCL ever come out with Florida Resident Rates for cruises NOT sailing from Florida? (geez, that sounds even dumber after I typed it

From a former high school math teacher... there are NO dumb questions

I have no clue on your answer though! I just started cruising Disney in 2011. Prior to having children, have to admit Disney was never on our radar screen
