Ahoy,

The transatlanticpirates.com website is back online. We've pretty much started the site from scratch as we are using a different technology to build the site, it's entirely database driven.

The first thing we built was a new rollcall page, but since many of the people previously on the list have dropped the cruise, we'd like for everyone to sign-up again. It's simple and painless to use the submission form, which posts directly to a database and is immediately updated on the site. The only part that takes any manual effort is uploading pictures, instructions for this are on the sign-up form.

Still to come.... lanyard sign-up, fish extender exchange, secret Mickey, and much more.

Looks great, thank you for taking this over!!

Hello pirates!

I'm thinking of going on the transatlantic crossing. We were on the Magic just before Christmas for our first cruise ever and I enjoyed it so much, I started thinking about the next cruise. The transatlantic cruises seem to get so much for your dollar so I'm thinking about it and need to convince a friend to go with me before I can commit.

So I'm popping in to sub to this thread and to say hi and really, really hope to see you guys on board in September.

It is an amazing deal for the cruise, be sure to check at airfare costs before booking, they are costing as much as the cruise it self in some cases.

Happy New Year All!

We recently returned from a family get together at WDW. Really good to have both girls and our SIL together. DD1 & SIL live near Toronto so we don't get to see them enough!

We had never been to WDW in December and really enjoyed it. We also got to stay DVC Concierge at AKL and now I am really spoiled.

Now the holidays are over and back to real life. Just finished catching up on the laundry, mail, and DIS and getting over the cold/virus that I always seem to bring back with me from Florida.

I finally organized all the papers I had been collecting about the WBTA in a notebook. (Funny how different DH and I are. I say "FINALLY" and he said "you are already doing that?" )

Welcome back to the real world, Kathy! Glad you were able to have the family together and what a wonderful time and place to do that! We absolutely love WDW in December. Did you get to see the Candlelight Processional? It is amazing!

Yes, we saw the Candlelight Processional. We got the package and ate at Chefs de France for the first time. I highly recommend Chefs. Everything was great. DD1 had the creme brulee and it was at least 3 times as large as the ones on DCL!

We also did the Sunrise Safari (our first time). It was a great experience as well. Do it if you get the chance. Our tour was run by the Curator of the animals at AKL. Very interesting information about how the animals are trained for their safety and the safety of the handlers.

We also enjoyed the Very Merry Christmas Party and Osbourne Lights.

The only thing we were not thrilled about were the crowd levels on the weekends and week before Christmas. Guess for the past twenty or more years we have gone at off peak times!

So lots of new experiences this trip. Just when I think I have seen all that WDW has to offer, I find new things.

Hope you can convince your friend. We need to up the Canadian content

LOL, I don't you need my help for that. On our cruise in December, everybody I talked to was a Canadian. I was beginning to wonder where the Americans were.

I just took a look at airfare to Barcelona. Ugh... is that for real?

Just putting all the pertinent dates in the new 2010 calendar and noticed that the due date for the final payment is 120 days out from the cruise --5/21/10. (And the travel agent wants it 2 days prior to that.)

On our 7 day cruises the due date was 75 days out, so you really had to make sure that you were paid in full 90 days out so that you could book your excursions 90 days out.

Looks like that won't be an issue for this cruise even with having Gold Castaway booking privileges!

Wonder why the paid in full date is so far out?

 

[MagicMe]

We're going on a Disney Cruise this year!!!

Me too!!!!!


Visited the DCL site to check out availability on our cruise and they're showing only 4,5,6 and 7 CAT's available (and the 6 and 7's are QTY only)!!! Can't believe we're that booked up! Course I would expect that we might still lose some cruisers between now and final payment.

I think they want those who would cancel right before PIF date to do so earlier, so that there is more time to re-sell those rooms. Less need to reduce the price tag for those rooms.
