May 26, 2007 (5/26/07) "First Magical Med Cruise!!" (The M&M's!)

[kpros]

Is there a phone number to call regarding the excursion could get half my group registered for any excursion but not the other half it i cancel it and try to rebook i give up my space to see if the other space is available. The site will not allow you to pull up the excursion for the port if you have already signed up for one at that port. cindy

this is from page 55 and the QandA on page 1:

Formal Night 27 May (Sea Day)
Semi Formal 1 June (Sea Day)
Semi Formal 4 June (Villefranche)

I don't remember any info about Pirate night.

Ok, now freaking out about the "presents" and a fish extender. Why did I wait so long to find you guys?

T minus 18 days till I leave.

Don't stress about gifts and fish extenders. Niether are critical to the cruise. We talked about gifts a long time ago and the general feeling was that considering luggage restrictions going over, gifts were not that important.

Some people will provide gifts, but don't feel that you have to.

What time is dinner?

I'm going to take a guess........since all the smilies are in 3's and Tracy and Bill = 2, could there an addition on the way???????

That was my thought too - must be an addition to the family.

Ok, that's the last time I share my excitement with all of you Or at least I'll count how many smilies I use

 

[sweetsue]

Thanks Ken, information overload, I must have missed it.

Sweetsue - Please RSVP me for the fountains and the dancing. Also for the Toga Party if it available. How many togas can you fit in the Roy Suite? (Bad joke waiting to happen.)

Still can't PM yet.

You're on the list!!!

Good Morning cruisers!! Three weeks from today we leave for Barcelona

Three weeks from today we will be IN Barcelona!

 

[sweetsue]

I just got some good news and I had to share my excitement

​

Thanks for letting me share

And from Christina:



It's always nice to share excitement with someone (even when you're keeping us guessing!)

[sweetsue]

We just got a call today from USAir to let us know that we had MORE changes in our return flights! UGH! You would think that things wouldn't change this much.

They delayed the departure from Barcelona by a few hours... which makes us late for our connection in Philly. Which means now we have a 4 hour layour in Philly on the way back. BUGGERS!!!! Return trip is gonna SUCK!

Hope no one else has this much trouble with their silly flights.

At least we were able to keep our requested seats on the new flights!

-Laurie

ps: anyone have a spreadsheet or word list for packing?

I opted for spring cleaning of the closets today... 9 HUGE bags to go to donations. UGH! Apparently I am not ready to start the "official" packing. Still have to work up to committing to only 7 pair of anythings!

I do have a spreadsheet for packing in Excel. Being the compulsive planner I am, it even has a column for "yes", "No" or "N/A" as to whether it has physically made it into the suitcase yet!

Hi Sue! I was looking thru some early pages last nite for some info and came across a photo of you and Christina eating ice cream! Very cute! Being a preschool teacher {18 3yr olds} I say there's nothing like a kid eating ice cream!!

I would be interested in getting a copy of yours and renegade7s packing list to see if there is anything Im missing! Would either of you PM me or whatever?

Winotracy-Whatever your good news was, it made you happy and Im happy for you too!
Where do you get the bouncing Disney Heads?

Are you booking them through DCL? I had that same problem too because of Palos. I called DCL and they fixed it for me. If your not having the problem because of Palos~they may be able to open more room up for you....give them a call and have them do it on their end! (I work at Disney Reservation Center~there are some things that they can do behind the scenes!)

Do i just call the regular cruise line number it is for a excursion in palermo. we wanted the early one and ony had room for 4 but the late one had room for 8. cindy

 

[Disneynut64]

Does anyone know if we buy flowers in barcelona are we allowed to take them on the ship. Or at any of the other ports. cindy

 

[misseulalie]

That's really something! I think this is something I should have worried about way before this. Has anyone told the Disney people how they could be making a mint on those things in the shops on the ship? I have looked on e-bay, but we're running out of time there too. Might be dental floss and a sharpie decorated Baggie hanging on our fish!

Hi everyone, (long time no post...)

I think Ken is making one for me out of duct tape and wal-mart bags....
ask him to make you one, too!

Jen

 

[misseulalie]

Oh, by the way...I have a few more wrist bands left, if you want them let me know as I leave on the 12th. Last mailing would probably be Saturday.
Otherwise I will bring them on the ship.

If you asked me to hold yours and give them to you on board, please PM me so I know not to accidentally give yours away...

Thanks!!!

This Med cruise is huge trip for our us plus it's our first DCL cruise. We would really appreciate a copy your packing spreadsheet. Also any tips on how to keep our luggage to minimum would be greatly apprecaited.

Sweetsue, we would also like to join the group at the fountains on Fri. FYI We will arriv in BCN on the 23rd.

Yes, the usual number (800) 951-3532 is where I called.

 

[ronjoh]

Just curious. Are there any other Canadian DISers on this cruise?
