"Seven Seven 07" 20070707-11 Night Mediterranean Cruise

[Hanover]

MJ,

Can you do the Chocolate Museum on your own? I'm not sure how far it is from the port, etc or when you planned on doing it. Keeping checking with DCL and again once July rolls around because I'm sure they'll have openings from cancellations or openings people that do not have on line access. Good luck! It sounds like a lot of fun.

Hi .. You can do it on your own, on the excursion thread there was a link. I don't get into Barcelona until 4:30 on the 6th and they close at 7:00 pm on Fridays. Also on the Saturday, I'm not sure about timing to do it on my own, as I have transfers booked. I'ld have to board the ship, then leave on my own. I'm going to keep on checking the excursions and with DCL, and cross my fingers. The gothic quarter walk was my second choice, and it does sound interesting as well.

 

[OurDogCisco]

Okay... I stole some more info from the May cruise. Great info. Hope it helps out. Not all the questions have been answered yet.

What DIS activities will there be?
Ken (kpros) has a great post that includes all of that information. You can find it here.
Sue (sweetsue a.k.a ME!) also has a few Barcelona activities here.

DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT

What night will be our first "assigned" rotation night? The 26th or the 27th?
Saturday the 26th.
What are the theme nights on the cruise? And what days are
they?
When are the formal night(s)?
There are rumors that Disney will change the dining. Why wouldn't we have rotational dining with the same servers?
DCL will be having rotational dining. Seating times are 6pm and 8:30pm.
There will be one formal night, two semi-formal nights and a pirate night. The formal night is the first sea night. The semi-formal nights are on June 1st (at sea night) and June 4th (Villefranche night). General agents do not yet have the dining rotation. When/if the information becomes readily available, I will post it here.
When is the sail away party?
10 pm
When is Tea for Wendy?
On the sea days at 4pm.
When is the Goofy PJ slumber party for the kids?
Are there any special wine seminars/tastings/classes?
You’ll just have to wait until you see the events in your personal navigator. Surprise!
What shows will there be?
See post from winotracy here

BOARDING, LUGGAGE, DISEMBARKING

When is boarding?
It begins at 1pm until 4pm in the terminal. After 4pm until 9pm at the ship itself.
On boarding day, can we go on and off the ship until sail-away?
In other words, can we check-in, go to our staterooms and then leave the ship for a few hours?
Yes you can come and go from the ship in Barcelona - bring your passports with you when you leave the ship.
What time do we have to be on the ship in Barcelona?
Everybody must be onboard by 9 pm.
Can we check-in or drop our luggage at the port and then leave for awhile to see Barcelona before we check-in for our stateroom?
Yes
What time?
Check-in begins at 10am.
Is left luggage available at the Barcelona port?
Disney said probably no but they do not have control over this.
What is the latest DCL transfer from port back to airport?
Everybody needs to be offboard by 9 a.m.
9:30 a.m. is the last transfer
What terminal will DCL be in at Barcelona?
Moll Adossat - Terminal C
Can you purchase transfers if you are staying at a hotel not booked through DCL?
Only from the hotel to the port and back, not from the airport to the hotel

PORTS

What ports require tendering?
La Spezia
Villefranche
What is the liquids policy for Barcelona?
We'd like to carry aboard wine like we have in Port Canaveral; will the policy be the same?
What about at ports (like Marseille/Nice)?
Same policy as Port Canaveral - you can carry on unopened wine and other liquids.
Are we allowed to bring food, wine and olive oil on the boat from our ports?
Bringing food onboard is a definite no according to DCL. Unopened wine and other liquid bottles are ok.
Here is the official policy from DCL. It is supposed to stay the same for the Med:
Coolers are not permitted except for Guests needing to store medications, baby food, or items related to a dietary constraint. Coolers containing personal items (e.g. soda or snacks) may not be brought on board.
• Homemade, pre-cooked or other perishable items plus any open snack containers will not be allowed to be brought on board
• Non-perishable, USDA approved snack food items in their sealed original packaging may be brought aboard ship and must be consumed prior to returning to Port Canaveral after their cruise
• Disney Cruise Line regrets that the crew members on board are unable to provide food preparation, refrigeration, or storage on board for personal food or beverage items
• Limitations on food items permitted to be brought aboard are directly related to concerns for food safety and contamination prevention. Disney Cruise Line cannot verify the cleanliness of the environment in which pre-cooked or homemade food items were prepared. For the safety of all guests and crew, these items are not permitted aboard ship
Are we allowed to bring food and snacks from the ship into the ports? Specifically breakfast bars, sandwiches, chips, fruit, etc.?
DCL’s policy will be the same – no official or separate announcement for the Mediterranean cruises. They do request people only take off wrapped items such as breakfast bars and chips.
It’s also important to note that most countries do not want you bringing fruit or other meat products into their country. This is how disease is spread from one country to another such as citrus cancer and mad-cow disease.
Is it possible to book two excursions in the same day? I would really like to see Cinqe Terre and Pisa. (The DD really wants to see the Leaning Tower. She has seen it on Disney' Little Einsteins; the tower symbolizes Italy for this 5 year old) Is it possible to do both in the same day?
Yes - as long as the excursions don't overlap. Sweetsue and family are doing this in both Marseille and Villefranche. DCL will allow you to meet the second excursion on the dock so you don't have to reboard the ship or tender.
Does anyone have any restaurant ideas for Barcelona?
Best bet - wander the Gothic Quarter stopping in little places that look interesting and have "little plates" (tapas). Worst place - the little sidewalk cafes on Las Ramblas - high on $ and low on quality - but great for people watching! Great pick it up and go spot - La Boqueria market on Las Ramblas. Seafood - lots along the port area. Be cognizant of typical Barcelona hours (lunch starts at 1, dinner at 9). Look for a crowded restaurant (at those times) - an empty restaurant is empty for a reason.
Any idea on how soon we can get off the boat in Rome? The Disney stuff says something about 7:30, but I wasn't sure if that was realistic. I have never been on a cruise before, so I do not know what logistics are involved.
In general, you will be able to get off of the boat at the stated time. The ship has to clear customs with the port authority before anyone can go ashore, so the time is only an estimate.

GENERAL BOAT QUESTIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS

Is there a number that we can give our families if they need to reach us in case of emergency?
Yes. It is very expensive though and should only be used in real emergencies. You will incur ship to shore charges for every minute even if they are just leaving voicemail. Ship to shore charges are satellite charges and $$$$$$$.
From padalyn:
You can direct dial anywhere in the world right from your stateroom. Ship-to-shore rates apply and will be posted in your stateroom.
==============================================
The phone number to the Magic is:
1-888-DC AT SEA (322.8732)
==============================================
When is the lifeboat drill?
5:45 PM, however the announcement begins at 5:15. Shipboard services are suspended from 5:15 pm to 6:00 PM.
With the recent sinking of the boat in the Greek isles, it would probably be a good idea that everyone goes just to make sure they know where their lifeboat station is.
This is DCLs info on “missing” the drill. The safety drill is very important and the ship strongly suggests that everyone participate. Safety regulations are taken very seriously onboard.

If you should, by some chance, miss the drill, you will receive a letter in your stateroom as role call is taken during the drill so the ship is aware of what guests have not participated.

Again, it is very important to participate in the safety drill.
Will euros be available on the ship for exchanging $$?
Yes there will be euros on the ship.
Here is some additional info from Scooby3x1y:
Regrettably Guests are not able to obtain cash advance on a credit card
from Guest Services.

Guests are able to cash personal checks drawn from U.S. banks only up to
$100.00 per guest, per voyage onboard at the Guest Services desk.
Personal checks (no temporary checks) need to be accompanied by:

One of the following photo id's:
Valid Driver's License
State issued ID with picture
Active Military ID (green)
Passport

One of the following Credit Cards
American Express
Visa
MasterCard
Discover
The Disney Credit Card
Diner's Club / Carte Blanche

Traveler's Checks can be cashed with a photo ID. There is no limit for
Traveler's Checks, but the checks need to be in US Dollars.

We look forward to sailing with your family in the Mediterranean!

Another response:

An onboard credit can be used to cover anything that is charged to the
stateroom account (i.e. gifts, merchandise, refreshments, etc.) and is
placed on the stateroom folio. Guests receive an enclosure card in
their stateroom that notifies them about the onboard credit, who
arranged it, and any special message.

To purchase an Onboard Credit, please call 800-601-8455 Monday - Friday
8:00 AM - 10:00 PM (EST) or Saturday - Sunday 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM (EST).

Guests can exchange dollars for Euros or Euros for dollars onboard the
ship at Guest Services. It will be exchanged at the prevailing rate,
there will not be a charge for the exchange.

We look forward to sailing with you! Have a Magical Day!

Are we going to get a special litho for the Med repo or First Med cruise. That would be good to know so that we could include a mailing tube in our bags?
Sorry – we won’t get this one answered before the cruise.
I know that it is sick to think of work while on a cruise - but does anyone know if there is a business center or internet cafe onboard where I can get caught up on e-mails? I do not want to lug a laptop. If so, any idea as to the cost?
There are internet cafes onboard with wired packages. You can't use them for anything other than surfing the web. Here is information on the wireless packages:
From Scooby3x1y:
We are pleased to announce that guests who bring their wireless ready laptop will be able to utilize our wireless Internet access onboard and get connected! The wireless Internet and Internet Cafe are interchangeable. For example, guests who purchase a block of minutes for the wireless system can use those minutes on an Internet Cafe desktop computer and visa versa. Below, please find the locations from which you may gain access and a selection of plan pricing.
Cadillac Lounge
Wavebands
Promenade Lounge
Studio Sea Deck
Cove Cafe Deck
Open Decks (Decks 9 & 10)
Atrium Decks (Decks 3, 4, & Mid-Ship)
$.75 per minute pay as you go
$27.50 for 50 minute plan ($.55 per minute)
$40 for 100 minute plan ($.40 per minute)
$75 for 250 minute plan ($.30 per minute)
Currently on the wireless plan you may surf the Internet, send/receive email, download/upload files, print and open/send attachments. Guests will also have free access to disneycruise.com. An unlimited package is unavailable with the wireless Internet offering, because the capacity of the wireless system is limited.
Some additional info from DCL:
To get started Guests must open their internet browser. They will automatically be directed to a Log-in page which will ask for a user name and password.
The user name is the guest's first initial, last name and stateroom number, all lower case with no spaces. Example: jdavis1431 (for John Davis in Stateroom 1431)
The password is the Guest's birthday in six digit format: mmddyy. Example 043060 (for April 30, 1960). The system will ask the guest to enter a new password. This new password will be used for all future log-ins.
Once the guest is logged in a pricing option screen will appear. The guest must select a plan for internet access.
Finally, a separate browser window will open which displays a count-down of time used. This window should be kept open until the Guest is ready to logout or end the session. If the window is closed inadvertently, it can be accessed by typing the following URL in the address bar: http://1.1.1.1
To stop the timer and log-out the guest must select the LOGOUT icon located on the desktop.
Can we use Skype?
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is accessible; however, due to limitations of the wireless service uninterrupted connectivity and quality cannot be guaranteed.
What is the size of the closet in the staterooms (for luggage storing)?
For Category 4 through 10 (category 11/12 is smaller, Cats 1-3 have at least one walk-in closet in addition to this closet, handicapped Cat 6’s have a second “drive-in” closet great for luggage storage, not sure about other handicapped rooms)
From Jeisur:
The closet base measures 27.75 inches by 18.5 inches. It is nice to have nesting luggage that fits at the bottom.... otherwise there is the standing suitcase issue with anything longer than a t-shirt.

I THINK under the beds was just shy of 10 inches but YES you DO have to lift the bed if the item is a bit larger... garment and duffle bags tuck under nicely. Little kids can fit under nicely but are hard to get out.

CUSTOMS, LIQUIDS POLICY, ETC.

What is the liquids policy for Barcelona?
We'd like to carry aboard wine like we have in Port Canaveral; will the policy be the same?
What about at ports (like Marseille/Nice)?
Same policy as Port Canaveral - you can carry on unopened wine and other liquids.
Are we allowed to bring food, wine and olive oil on the boat from our ports?
Bringing food onboard is a definite no according to DCL. Unopened wine and other liquid bottles are ok.
Are we allowed to bring food and snacks from the ship into the ports? Specifically breakfast bars, sandwiches, chips, fruit, etc.?
DCL’s policy will be the same – no official or separate announcement for the Mediterranean cruises. They do request people only take wrapped items off of the ship, items such as breakfast bars and chips
It’s also important to note that most countries do not want you bringing fruit or other meat products into their country. This is how devastating crop and livestock diseases are spread from one country to another.

SHIPPING STUFF TO THE SHIP

How do I send stuff to the ship like we do for Port Canaveral?

I've never use my laptop on board and have some questions.Has anyone purchased the log-on plan on board. I really don't want to lug my heavy lap top all over Greece and then on the cruise. We will be away from home over 3weeks before the cruise and I want to make sure bills are paid. Looked at lighter models but I think the money is better spent on excursions!
I know there is a pay per use fee but is there a unlimited fee?
thanks for any help....

Denise this is the info I found on another dispage. Hope it helps..

Here's some more info that I copied too... This great stuff. This is from Winotracy

Big scoop here!

I just heard about the new entertainment planned for our cruise!!

A bit of it is hype, but it sounds good. There will be three new theater productions (only one in my count).

When Mickey Dreams

Mickey Mouse's dreams come to life in this production. There will be cirque-like acts and a nightmare with Malificent.

The Art of the Story

For those on the 10 and 11 night Wonder, this was one of the shows. Hopefully they tweaked it a bit (I talked to a guy in entertainment from Celebration and he said they were going to). Acts from Moulan, Tarzan, Beauty & the Beast, Lion King and the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Ducky Williams and others explain how a story comes to life.

On the Nose

Also premiered on the 10 and 11 night Wonder. This was a game show where the audience was divided up into sections and we answered trivia questions with prizes awarded to the winning sections. This was a hard game to play if your section was spread out. You were seated in certain sections, but if the people in your section weren't together, you couldn't discuss the answers at all. I hope they revamped this a bit as well.

We will also have a Mediterranean Deck Party which will highlight music and special effects for all of the ports of call we will visit. Part of the description is that it will "light up the sky" so I presume that means FIREWORKS!!!!!.

The sailaway party is listed as being new.

Pirate night is listed the same as it is for the 4 and 7 night cruises -- dinner and deck party.

They also said there will be other activities with European Flair! Films shown in the Buena Vista Theater will include Moulon Rouge and Casino Royale.

The best is the kids clubs!! They will be doing things in the clubs that will get them ready for the ports which are coming up. They will be making puppets, tiles and crepes to name a few things!

Finally, we will be boarding the ship on deck 1. They will have an express elevator to Deck 9 and the other two elevators will make stops at the individual floors. I'm so glad I'm on Deck 2 this year!!!!

[Shercara]

Welcome all you newcomers to this thread.

Thanks John for the great scoop and all the info!


I CAN'T WAIT!!

Has anyone firmed up any DIS meets?

Pre-cruise in Barcelona?

At Sail-A-Way?

Maybe we should make one for the first day at sea, somewhere on the ship, in case we all don't meet up at sail-a-away??

Take care,
Sher

 

[Deb T.]

Hi All!

Pre-cruise in Barcelona: John (DadofLostBoys) suggested meeting for dinner at Mesón David on July 6.

I'd love to try to meet everyone at sail away, too, if possible.

There's a good article in the current issue of Conde Nast Traveler (May issue) called "Roam if you want to". Good info on cell phones and making calls while overseas...
I'm leaving my cell phone home. Even with a plan (Cingular/ATT) the calls are $ high per minute. Just using our MCI calling card we got at Costco. MCI said it will work...we will find out!

That would be us too!!! It appears that it is going to remain on the 13th instead of moving it up to a June premier. The great "Canoe" still says June but everywhere else says July. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
