Northern Sights and Mickey's MAGICal Delights-1st Baltic Cruise-June 12,2010-Pt 2

[mishoe01]

We're having a great time in WDW! Rained last night but didn't stop us. We're off to Typhoon Lagoon today.

Can't wait to see you on Saturday!!!

Btw - the answer to your pm is YES!

Good Morning Cruisers!

Connie, hope you can make it on the repo also! We had to drop down to a Cat 10 to afford the 2 - but we were lucky and got a room on deck 5.

Have a great day everyone!

The only thing stopping us is care for Patrick. We visited the new place in Avalon Park today. I think he'll be the only client there.....it's brand spanking new. Not as homey as the place in Sarasota, but much closer, so we will try it in June when we go up to Illinois to the anniversary party.

He was ready to go home and pack his clothes, so we could drop him off! He'll be fine!

Working on catching up here...just found part 2

I had a great time & am working on the pics & TR.

Ports of call were amazing.....well, I can't speak for Copenhagen & Warnemunde/Berlin....not sure if Gydell posted this (she read it on the WBPC thread) but I ended up being 1 of 100 people sick & quarentined due to a lovely (NOT!) GI virus (not sure if it was the norovirus or not). I was stateroom bound/confined for 2 days (some others for 4). Luckily we had a balcony so while sitting in port in Germany I was able to sit out there & read for a few hours in the sun.

Be Happy that you guys are on this cruise....Tallinn is gorgeous! Helsinki is yucky....1 place I will not be going back to.

I'll let you guys know where to read my blog when it's ready

You are back!!! That is wonderful. I am glad that you had a great time. You know we are going to Helsinki though?

I'm totally losing it

I could have sworn that I had chosen the cruise w/ tallinn

Bear in mind that it was a cold, rainy day when we went to Helsinki.

Reasons I didn't like Helsinki - there were only 2 things that grabbed my attention (as in what I wanted to do/see)...the Cathedral & the Rock made out of stone.

I am very big into architecture (or how ever you spell it LOL) & especially after already seeing Tallinn & St Petersburg, the buildings in Helsinki were blah to me. More modern too than I wanted/like.

I am looking for ports that I can stay on the ship so maybe this is one. This is going to be a long trip so I need to cut back and conserve energy where I can.

Hi Tammy

I was reading your blog and I want to tell you something that Med cruise is so awesome... believe me.... we went to Med 07 with disney cruise and I want go back but my husband don't want to...

Amifi Drive (Naples) is so beautiful as I wish to book for a week there but it is so expensive... it make me so relax and calm...

I have slidephotos and I will show you if you want see it...

I am afraid that I am not going on Baltic Cruise and we switched it over to Dover to Barcelona... but we still want to go to Baltic but the money is not good at the moment due to poor exchange for pound to dollars (crap)

It start after we came back from Panama Canal and we find out that everything went bad... so sad...

Lots of people lose their job too, very scracy nowaday...

I do hope to meet you again and have a good chat which I didn't done that...

Sorry you will not make it on this cruise - I will try to remember to post rpt about cruise from Barcelona to Dover - or will make Scott do it - he does the on line trip reports more than I do.

Greetings from Venice everyone!!!!

We arrived in Venice this morning from Florence via Eurostar train. Anyone thinking about using the Eurostar next year to go to DLP or anywhere else it's an awesome trip and first class is especially nice.

We had a gondola ride as soon as we got here. Venice is an absolutely gorgeous city, words cannot even begin to describe this city. We saw St. Mark's Square and Cathedral as well.

Tomorrow is our last full day here and then on Tuesday we'll begin the trip home. We've had a wonderful time and I can't wait to tell you all more about it.

 

[TammyAlphabet]

Wow, Emily, I can't wait to hear more about it.

Hi everyone,
I have not posted on the board for awhile, since this cruise has been up in the air for us. I probably will not be going on this cruise anymore because I found a good deal on one leaving in 2 weeks with the same ports (sad that its 10 days instead of 12 since it is leaving out of Copenhagen instead of London) on Princess. I am happy that it will hit Tallinn and Helsinki though.

I was looking forward to cruising with alot of TA friends again, but maybe we will match up on a different cruise!

Monica, I have been really following your blog since it will give me a good idea of what to expect and comparing cruiselines since I have not been on anything but Disney! Can't wait to hear and see more.
