I will make a mental note to remind you about a week or so before the cruise. Is that about the right time frame?

Hi everyone!

I know I haven't posted in a while, but Mike and I are still in. I know we've had lots of turnover.

What I was wondering is that our final payment is due this week, but this volcano thing worries me a bit. We don't buy insurance until final payment and by now this volcanic eruption is considered a known entity and wouldn't be covered. Anyone else worried about that?

I am hearing the fallout from this volcano could go on for months. I'm not sure how long the volcano has to be dormant before it's considered a different event. If you buy your insurance through Disney, they don't purchase till final payment is due also, right?

Just trying to gage everyone's feelings.

It would be my luck to be stranded stateside in September because of a volcano that erupted in April.

I dont mean to belittle your worries,I know they are real. but it depends on your nature, I personaly dont see the point in worrying about stuff like that, I have lost so many friends and family when they were way too young to be lost , I try not to worry about stuff I cant control.

BUT my Mum would and will worry about stuff like this.

But you are right, the volcano could go on for 18months, but but what can you do?
There are also other volcanos in iceland that could erupt,never mind this one.
I am sure there are lots of other mad things that could happen ,lets face it,noboday predicted this a week ago!!

Maybe you could call disney and ask about the insurance. If you are worried you need to get it sorted in your mind.


Corrina, glad you are getting sorted, good luck with all your travel plans.

scotland seems to be good to go starting tom.

I have been thinking that insurance companies are going to have to include these things, even at extra cost, or nobody will fly anywhere. So many travel companies would be out of business.

Final payment is due this week?????? Am I confused? Do I need to get this payment made now???

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Corrina, can you not get a lift on the ark royal

 

[sandiedvc]

You know, I thought the same thing!

Just checked my bill.. my balance isn't due until 5/19.

I think that they must have a suite..

Those of us in steerage still have a little time!

 

[MrsMork]

Oh whew! Thanks, Kathy!!

Stumbled across a book based in Gibraltar while I was looking for a tour guide type book about Gibraltar....

It is a mystery by Aaron Elkins called "Uneasy Relations". It is one of his Gideon Oliver (The Skeleton Detective) series and is about the skull found at Gibraltar. The kindle version looks to be $6.39

While I haven't read this book, most of his books are light fun.

Anyone find any other cruise/port books?

 

[M4travels]

Whew, found y'all again! Happy Monday!

 

[AlexandNessa]

Thanks! I am not a worry wart often ... I just tend to have bad luck if any luck at all!

Sorry, yes, suite final payment is due at 150 days out.

No one on a Disney ship is in steerage! It's Disney!

I think I might have found a solution for getting to Barcelona and I am actually quite excited about this. We were supposed to fly out on Thursday so we have two nights accommodation booked in Barcelona anyway. I found this morning that there is a Portsmouth Santander ferry that leaves on Wednesday at 11:00 and gets into Santander at Midday the following day. From Santander, there are regular trains to Madrid that take 4.5 hours. From Madrid there are then lots of high-speed trains to Barcelona that take about 2.5 hours. I checked the timings and we could be in Barcelona at 22:48 on the Thursday. That still gives us the whole of Friday in hand if something goes wrong or to explore Barcelona if everything goes according to plan. Now I just have to convince my employer to let me take two additional days leave.

If I can't get the additional leave, then there is a plan B. There are regular ferries from Portsmouth to Le Havre so we could get on the 11 PM ferry on Thursday, which would get us to Le Havre by 8:00 AM on Friday. From there we would have to get a train to Paris and then Paris to Barcelona. This might be cutting it a bit fine, but it still should work.

Keep your fingers crossed that I can get the additional leave.

Corinna

Can you board the ship at a later port??? i mean if i miss the ship at Barcelona can i hotfoot it over to Gibraltar and climb aboard there???

Otherwise i'm planning to get a row boat and chase you across the Atlantic!
