May 18th, 2024 - May 25th, 2024 Disney Dream - DVC Member's Cruise

[Mathmagicland]

ThenAdventures by Disney Barcelona Escape before this cruise has been sold out for months. If anyone is interested, I noticed today that Disney has added another departure starting May 25, the day we return to Barcelona at the end of the cruise.

So wish I could be there.... The week is a blackout week for work...

Hoping 2025 we will be able to do a DVC Member Cruise!

I hope we'll get details soon! But probably won't be soon, probably will have to wait until April to know where the 2025 DVC Member Cruise is going if it's anything like last year.

I'm hoping for a pretty unique itinerary like Norwegian fjords or something like that. Or if it's got to be the Caribbean, then hopefully on the Treasure!

We will be in Paris before the cruise. Does anyone have a recommendation to get from Paris to Barcelona the morning of May 18 (or the evening of May 17)? Is there a train? Or should I look at flights?

Has anyone booked a hotel near the Barcelona cruise port to go in a day early ?

Will be there a couple of days earlier to check out Barcelona and get adjusted to the time change.

Check out both but would recommend going a day earlier and not be stressed trying to arrive at Barcelona the day of.

Hi
Has anyone booked transfers with Disney to the port ?

Plan on staying at a place within walking distance. Otherwise, will take a taxi.

Are there any good hotels near the port? Where booked more centrally on Ramblas for two nights before the cruise

We picked the Best Western since here's an airport shuttle and it's about 10 mins walk to the port. Decent price too.

Saw this on CNN a couple of months ago, Barcelona is moving their cruise ship terminal to the farthest one away from city center, farther out of town. This says it will be at least a 30 minute walk from port to the city. I have not been able to find out if this impacts our Dream sailing.

Either way, since we're planning to explore for two days before the cruise, we'll be staying closer to the Gothic area, Ramblas, and the other attractions. So we'll need transportation to the port regardless

I think it's already done. Said last ship was on Oct 2nd, 2023 - Mystic Cruises.

It's been a bit annoying not to be able to see shore excursions ahead of our booking window to plan what we want to do. Is that normal for DVC Cruises?

Yes, they follow same process as a regular DCL cruise, I can see them now, as my booking window has opened. Anything you are interested in, let me know & I can check, A couple in Rome and a couple in France were already sold out when I could see them.

Interesting that there are so few options for this port. We might just book something separately for this one. I'd like to see Eze
