Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.3

[granmaz]

Oh, nice one Angie. We will be at WDW from the 8th Feb, so will be thinking about you.

 

[TotallyAngelic]

Hope everyone is staying warm. We will be setting record low temperatures in Texas for the next couple of days. Hope our plumbing holds up and doesn't freeze. They just don't build to handle the cold down here.

Record lows for us in the UK at the moment too ..... some areas hit -20 last night We were about -6, but poor Lynne is getting it bad. The whole country has more or less come to a standstill and more snow is forecast

We are in desperate need of a Disney fix! I just booked a room at Grand California Villas for a week beginning Feb 3 using our DVC points! We will be at Disneyland for DrHug's 65th birthday on Feb 5!!!

Oh, nice one Angie. We will be at WDW from the 8th Feb, so will be thinking about you.

You lucky things having a Disney trip looming ... wish it was me.

 

[renegade7]

Yeah! I have booked my flight and hotel! I am getting excited.

Doing the 10 day prior to the TA as well - so 9 months from today I will be on the Magic.

I got a flight on Continental for $908 RT (SFO-EWR-BCN). It is over $100 cheaper than I paid in 2007.

I am staying at the Hotel Praktik Rambla for 2 nights prior to the 10 day.

Now to start working on those ports of call and what I want to do.

Hi all! I'm now a MRS!

The wedding was fabulous and we had a terrific time.

On Jan 2nd we flew to MCO and stayed at the Hyatt. The next morning we went to the port and got on the Wonder! We had a terrific 4-day cruise and thought it all fantastic!

We rebooked our WBTA while on board and switched from one cat 4 to a cat 5 + cat 11 gty for the same price as the cat 4 discounted rate. We thought it a fair trade for more space and picked up a nice $200 onboard credit x 2. We ended up a few hundred dollars better off in the end, which was great.

The service and food were fantastic - and we love good food. We didn't see any shows, and used the spa quite a bit (our honeymoon after all). We loved the concierge service and the cat 3 room was STUNNING. The only, only, only downside was the disembarkation process which was chaotic, crowded, slow and maddening.

We are so excited for the WBTA. Although 5 months left before final payment seems far too short!

We will think of you also! We will be riding the same rides just a few thousand miles apart!

Wow, sorry there was trouble with disembarking. It has always gone quite smoothly for us. Glad you enjoyed the spa time. I love it in the Rainforest!

Well....my DW and I will be joining you guys on the 14 night....we have never sailed on such a long and different itinerary cruise. I have been reading some of the recent posts and I see a lot of discussion about airfare. We have booked everything through Disney. The airfare and transfers for my wife and I was $900.00 each. I thought that was pretty good since it is the flight on the red eye to Barcelona...the transfers from the airport to the ship and then the transfers from Port Canaveral to MCO and our flight back to JFK in New York. Checking one way flights to Barcelona seems very high....so I think it is best if we just leave it the way it is.....plus with them handling the airfare they are responsible for us getting there and on the ship.
I gotta read more of the thread...might take months but we are happy to be joining all of you. We have no stateroom assignment yet but are hoping for a small upgrade to a window.....
