So happy that I have officially booked this cruise! Hopefully, I will see some of you there! 

Hi there!My mum, sister, and I, are booked on this cruise for my birthday. We are planning on doing 4 days at WDW before the cruise then taking the DCL bus to Port Canaveral.
This will be our first platinum cruise and also our longest cruise so far.
I totally missed your post! Welcome to this group!Hello!
We've just booked on this cruise!
We managed to get a good one way flight to MCO from the UK using our Virgin points -
Super excited, we've done a 10 night cruise before last year (Norwegian Fjords) and loved it but this will be our longest yet.
Super excited
its just me (34) and my mum (64)
Let the countdown begin.
Hi there! Great to see this thread getting some life!Hi all! Thanks to @Flossbolna for reminding me about this thread! We are booked on this as well, very excited for my first Transatlantic cruise (and on my favorite ship, to boot!)
We will be staying at Boardwalk before the cruise. We have finally sorted our park tickets which is progress. My next challenge is flights, the prices each way are killing me right now! And cruise final payment day is nearly here! Still so many things to sort out lolWhere are you staying at WDW? We will have 6 nights at our DVC at Wilderness Lodge and are probably going to take the DCL transfer as well.
Yes, we are not happy with flight prices either… We are most likely flying Norse from Berlin to Miami, then drive up (or take train) to Orlando. Less than half of anything on a legacy carrier. If you can get creative with your airports, it might help… Google flights lets you search for multiple cities at as time.We will be staying at Boardwalk before the cruise.

Sorry that your friends dropped out!I had to cancel my reservation about three weeks ago due to my budget, as I am now going solo. I will be rebooking when VGT or IGT go on sale because I will have the budget for one of them.
I did book my hotel in Barcelona on Expedia since it's fully refundable until May 15th. I'm staying at Hotel Constanza for a few days after the cruise for a decent price I think (little less than $500 for three nights with Expedia insurance).
For flights, it depends on what travel credit card I'm gonna get. I'm still trying to figure out if I could get the Capital One Venture. If I get that card, I will be going through Turkish by transferring my miles. If I can't, I will be getting the AMEX Delta Skymiles Gold Card (I'm pre-approved) and going through Delta.
Yeah, it's unfortunate, but I'm still excited! It will be my first solo trip and first time outside North America, so I'm pumped!Sorry that your friends dropped out!
Traveling solo also has advantages as you get to do exactly what you want to do!Yeah, it's unfortunate, but I'm still excited! It will be my first solo trip and first time outside North America, so I'm pumped!
