I received a $6.91 credit this morning from DCL. Wonder if the taxes or something changed.

Yes, I saw this on some of the other Meet threads, and it was a change in taxes. I got the same credit.

Don't spend it all in one place!

"I just received my Welcome Home letter. There is a UPS counter in the cruise terminal for those wishing to lighten their load a bit. This is what the paper says, "UPS will be located inside the cruise terminal building during debarkation hours. Prices are determined based on items and quantity shipped. Please allow extra time if you pland on utilizing this service."

Also, if you are flying on DELTA ONLY, you can check in your luggage and get your boarding passes in the cruise terminal. You have to check in at least 2 1/2 hours before your flight leaves in order to give them time to get your luggage over to the airport. Since my Disney booked Delta flight leaves at 10:00 am, I have to be in Rockin Bar D at 0630!!! I sure hope I can sleep on the plane..."

I hope the Delta info is still in effect for our cruise...that will help me out with my 11:20 am flight.

I just found this thread and think that it's great! My husband is much more relaxed about vacationing than I am and it's nice to have found some people that are as excited about cruisin the Med as I am. What great info I've found already from this site, I didn't know what the movies are going to be shown are. All three movies sound fantastic and I haven't seen any of them yet. I'm so excited. Hopefully by the time we cruise the ash problem won't be a problem anymore, we're flying from Boston to Munich, connecting to Barcelona the day of the cruise. I've never been to Europe and was a little intimated about booking on my own so I booked threw Disney. I really can't complain, Luthansa seems very reliable and our assigned seats (economy) look pretty good, although the arrival time of 130pm is not as early as I'd like.

Welcome aboard disneycruisegal! There are lots of great people on this cruise, many of which are travel bugs and can answer almost any question you can think of.

I need help!!

I have been looking into seeing a Flamenco Show while in Barcelona.

El De Tablao Carmen is 35 euros per person for and hour show and drink.

Tablao Flamenco Cordobes is 37 euros pp for hour show and drink or 69 euros for dinner and the show.

Palacio Del Flamenco is 32 euros pp for 1 1/2 hour show and drink.

Are they worth the cost?? If so, what is the best one to see?

never been to spain so I don't know but the boards had recommended the Flamenco show near or in the spanish village on montjuic. Dont remember the name. I would suggest hopping over to cruise critic and doing a board search for barcelona flamenco show and Im sure there are a boat load of reviews. I have the rick steves book and Ill see what he says. From what I have heard, flamenco is not truely a thing in the region of barcelona but if you havent seen it anywhere else (like me), who cares.

Welcome disneycruisegal. The ship doesn't sail until 9:30 pm so it's not as close as you might think.

 

[mmickeya]

Hi

I don't understand the time for the 15th.
The ship sail at 9h30 PM. But in the booklet that we received, it is written that all guest must be aboard by 4h00 PM or we won't be able to sail.
What do we have to be aboard so early ?

No clue why, but it's my understanding that the muster drill is at 5pm, after which point you can leave the ship again, as long as you are back aboard at whatever time they say (8:30pm?) I might be wrong about that, but that's the impression I was given. Anybody know if that's true or not?

Gaylord Opryland Hotel.

Love the place, usually stay in a room overlooking the tropical garden between the old main entry and the new, just very peaceful. Enjoy the bars along the hallway to the event center and of course the Country Music Hall of Fame. I have a little difficulty finding my way around in the new section over the river so I just avoid it. I really love the golf course as well, Springhouse. Great place to stay.

Me too! It would smooth things along once we get to the airport and we'll have to rush less if we can check in at the terminal!

 

[Jeff Spencer]

Used Paint to create a blank card and then typed my name in there to show what they'd look like.

Thank you Jeff

The lanyard looks great

I wonder if you could use the UPS Calculate Time and Cost on their website to estimate the cost of using their service at the port.
