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

[TotallyAngelic]

it was only -12 last night, bammy, I am just going for a walk with the pups right now. I have been thinking about my flights for pc cruise this time next year and thinkigna bout ALL the airport closures and flight cancellations.

A week today we will be away to Switzerland, oolala.

I think I might get Mum a guide book from barcelona for her birthday? anybody any suggestions?

The Eyewitness books are very good ... we had one for Venice and it was excellent. Might pick one up for Barcelona before we go too.

Morning all!

For those wanting to book at Hilton Diagonal Mar-- Hilton has a January Sale thru the end of the month I suppose. Rooms for two including breakfast are 169.50 euro, about $244. Rates are nonrefundable.

So, flights, hotel, car in Fla, all booked. All the bones of the trip are taken care of.

I did think of some things to consider further out from the cruise:

1. Check your passports for their expiration dates. Some countries require that your passport be valid three to six months beyond the date you land in their country.

2. Check your credit card exchange fees. There are some cards that charge less for foreign exchange fees than others.

3. Save money for the cruise!

What else have I missed?

Wow, it's cold here in Atlanta (relative to what we're used too)...

I've updated our roll-call information on the website. Thanks Sue for keeping up the new website. I still need to call Disney to get Tristan added to our reservation...better do that this weekend.

Hope everyone had a great holiday.

Here's a couple of recent pictures of the kids:
Rosalynn, age 3

Tristan, age 3 months (really only 2 months in the picture)

alexturner74- love the pics! Your kids are beautiful!!

Welcome Back Captain! Looking forward to meeting you onboard!

Well it is really cold here, making me miss living in Florida (even though they have gotten some cold down there too!) LOL! The kids enjoyed playing in the snow for the first time, but Liam said it was too cold! LOL!

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.....
Tom & Marilou

Hi Tom and Marilou! I've done a couple of 14 nights and they are great fun but my other half Dan hasn't even done one cruise yet so this is going to be an experience!

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

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

Didn't we have a -22.3 temp somewhere? More snow on its way so fingers crossed for a closed office on Monday!

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!

Glad it all went well and I agree 5 months! ARRRRR!

Wow its been so long I dont have my banner anymore ....will have to work on that

Welcome back! Glad youre still planning on joining us.

Ahoy Mates! Please don't forget to go out and get on the new roll call listing!

As of tonight there were 37 families that have gotten on there - and I know there are far more of us than that!

Glenn is working on a new FE sign up form, a lanyard signup form and more... Be sure to check in on the site and see it evolve!

Hope everyone is staying warm this weekend!

Sue

Sue - youll have to let us know if we need to resign up to things or not? I know Eric & Jason were compiling the list for lanyards but don't know if this is a new list.
