May 26, 2010--5/26/2010 10 Night Mediterranean

[TammyAlphabet]

I thought I would start a thread for this cruise since I have been looking for it all week. I have never cruised the Med. It will be me, DS(18) and DD(12). We have booked a cat 11 on deck 5, sideways cabin, my favorite. Hope to see others join us!

We have a website started: http://muchomagico.weebly.com/

This will be my first cruise. DD (age 5) and my mom will be with us. Excited to be visiting Europe for the first time!

Also just read your sig, Tammy. We lost DH earlier this year and glad we got to take our family trip to WDW last February all together.

Hello!

I am sorry it took me so long to reply.. I didn't get a response on this thread for so long that I guess I quit looking. LOL.

I am sorry for your loss. I understand the pain you feel.

I did go to Europe when I was 23, and now I am 44, so it has been a while. I didn't visit many of the places that this cruise is going, so there will be many firsts for me.

My family of 4 will be sailing on this cruise. We are so excited. This is our first trip to Europe. I would like to coordinate hotels and tours with others if anyone is interested. We have a balcony cabin- category 6. My children will be 8 and 4 when we sail. I am also interested in starting something that I saw some other folks do on the Mexican Riviera cruise in June 08. It appeared that they were a group of people like us that chatted before going adn mutually agreed to leave treats and goodies on each others doors everyday. Their doors were decorated with their names, disney characters and a shoe bag or divided compartment for putting the treats in. Everyday I saw this and the kids seemed to love it. If anyone has done this or knows what I am talking about please fill me in.

Welcome

We are with you! We have me, DH, DS (13), DS (10), and DD (6) - all ages as of time we sail.

We would be happy to do the "fish extenders" if there is interest - (little treats hanging from the doors at night.) I've seen this in previous cruises and it does look like fun for the kids!

Hard to believe it is only a year away...

Great, Now lets get this party started! The more little fishies to feed the better. ha ha. This is going to be so much fun. I cant wait to meet you and your family. I would love to post a photo or something but I dont know how. We will be arriving on May 24. Can anyone tell me what a good price is for a hotel in Barcelona. I know disney hiked up the prices?

 

[TammyAlphabet]

Welcome!!!

I am leaning towards staying at the Hotel Jazz. It is close to Las Ramblas and is reasonably priced. I think the prices fluctuate widely. I saw a post about both the Hotel Jazz and Hotel 1898.

I was reading this thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1988958

I think we will be arriving on the 23 or 24. I am a little worried about luggage getting there since I will most likely be changing planes in London. I could route through Chicago or Philadelphia. I will just have to see how the prices come out in the next month or so.

I am totally down with the fish extenders. They are great fun.

Good morning, how is everyone feeling today. I discovered a company called travelbound that has discounted hotel, tranfers, excursions either before, after or during your cruise. Thats right I said during your cruise. No more searching for a reputable company in a foreign land. I have never used travelbound before but they were recommeded to me by my AAA travel agent that has used them a million times. I will keep you posted as I get additional information.
Hello Tammy, I really enjoyed talking with you the other day. You sound like a really fun, easy going gal. Thank you for all your advice.

Welcome Ann Marie! We are definitely going to have to get a fish extender group together. We have a small group so far, but hopefully it will liven up later.

Hello!
I am very busy getting ready for vacation. I will be gone for a few weeks starting Monday. Maybe I will be able to get some wi-fi to check in with all you guys.
