So I went out and looked at the Spain Day Tours that you referenced. In particular the Malaga to Granada Shore Excusion. I then emailed them and received a prompt response. With the ticket to the palace it ends up being 93 euros with 10 people signed up for the small group tour.

His email details the tour which includes:
- Personal pickup from the port of Malaga
- Personal drop-off at the port at the end of the tour - 100% on time for departure
- English speaking expert guide at the Alhambra Palance and Generalife Gardens
- Guided walking tour in a group of 10-18 persons only
- Oreintation by the tour escort in Granada city center (subject to time)
- Free time for lunch, shopping, and exploring the city center on your own
- Total duration of 7-9 hours - subject to actual arrival and departure times of the ship.

We are 3 adult people and I'm wondering if there is anyone else on the forum that would be interested in this. In looking up the conversion rate, it came to $126. Much better than the $200 - meaning more money for tastings!! However, I believe the DCL one does include lunch but I don't think I'll be spending $75 on lunch.

Just let me know and I can forward you the email I received back from the company.

Thanks!

Cristi

PM sent with my email address. Thanks.

Interestingly, someone was organizing a private rum tasting and was told they no longer offer it but I do see one posted I believe the 23rd at around 12:30 in Keys so they obviously have been offering it!!??

It seems that somewhere along the way "we've" found out who will be our CD. I don't recall anyone mentioning it was Brent, but I don't remember who. I just saw a video of the Sail Away party from last week from a friend who just got off the ship yesterday. Brent is on now, but as we know, that doesn't mean he'll be on in September (even though I SO much want it to be him!).

Who remembers who we've determined will be our CD?

I am really not sure but on the EBTA Natalie told me that she would be the CD.

I would be interested. But I would have my 10 year old son, would that be ok? My mom want to go too, but she would be using a walker and would probably have to sit and wait somewhere and skip most of the tour.

Hi all

Is anyone able to take over the organising of the Chocolate Tasting please?

Please let me know as it will need to be booked soon and we will need to confirm numbers and get booking reservation numbers collected.

Many thanks
claire

I've never done this before, but I you'll tell me how I'll give it a try. My favorite tasting by far.

Back in the computer world again after two weeks in Florida so catching up.

We were informed today by Disney that the Mojito tasting will no longer be available for the WBTA. Sorry to those who signed up.

Glad this was sorted!

Ok finally digging a bit in the excursions... I know it's a holy day in Malaga, that the Picasso Museum is closed and also the castle... What are the excursions proposed by DCL? or what are you doing? thaaanks

If it is holy day then its likely to be that a lot of things are going to be closed in the town.

If you will send me a PM with your email address, I'll forward on the email I received from Spain Day Tours. That may help you determine the amount of walking. I am going to be sending an email to them this evening about the minimum age for children - MandyGirl had also expressed interest and she has a 4 and an 8 year old.

Thanks,

Cristi

Cristi is at the George Strait Final Concert so it's all up to me.

Okay, so I know it is not Disney related - but just have to say - the George Strait concert was just so fabulous and as a George Strait Junkie - just so sad! My first George Strait concert was 1989 in Cheyenne, WY.

Can't believe it was his last concert of his last official tour. It was just a small, intimate gathering - almost 105,000 people in Cowboys Stadium! Took most of yesterday for me to get my voice back!

At any rate, now my next big event is the WBTA - woohoo!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to book the Historical Phillipsburg by bicycle tour in St. Maarten but also desperately want to see some planes landing at Maho beach.

Do you think we could do both? The bicycle tour runs from 8.15-11.45am.

Would we then have time to get a cab to Maho beach for an hour and back again?

I think all aboard that day is 5.30pm.

Is anyone else looking to do something similar?

Thanks!

(Less than 90 days to go!)

Hi,

Yes I would like to do the same and my son also.
I signed for the 12 metre regatta and my son for the mountain bike tour.
I think we'll be back at 11.45 am and 11.15 am.
I know the mountain bike tour in 2011 was back in that time.

I don't know when the planes fly in and out. I know that it is not a place where you stay a whole day.
I don't know how long the taxi take to Maho Beach. And what the costs are. And if you have to book them in advence. And also don't know how it goes when you want to go back. And at what time you had to go.

I know lot's of people want to go to Maho Beach. And I know I can share a taxi with some, but I don't know at what time they go.
So if we could share a taxi it would be great.

I don't think the Magic has the Bibidi Boutique..... I think it is only on the bigger ships.

Is that the DCL one?? With port, champagne, red wine and scotch with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate and carmel??

I did the DCL one on the EBTA 2013. On EBTA 2014, I did a chocolate tasting event that was open to all (more family friendly) each one of us brought chocolate to share and drank our choice from the bar.. great time, well received. CMs all over the ship got chocolate to share!

Anyway, I can help or organize if you need me to..

I'm so jealous! I saw him a few years ago and he was amazing. I never get that into concerts, but something about him had me screaming and cheering the whole time. Glad you had fun :good vibes

Speaking of concerts, last night I saw James Taylor at the Hollywood Bowl. An excellent show!
