right now we have room 8676 on the dream

just thinking now of switching to a 7A  7182 its an under sized veranda--just wondering how small is it

it would be around 100$ cheaper then the 8676

were not super big veranda people

just like the extra light it lets in and going out  this is the british isles so Im thinking out on deck it could be chilly

just looking for thoughts on these rooms

theres also a 8164 room open

any thoughts would be very helpful

I thought it would be fun to upgrade to a veranda on the disney dream--I had one room in mind unfortunately we were too late--it was a cat.7A obstructed view in the aft  to upgrade was "only" 180$

so then I found another room in the aft cat.6A which I know is a higher catagory but it was also listed as obsturcted but on the disney website it listed as the same price as the 7A so I email my TA who says its another 249$     

the confusing part is I realize the catagory is different but why on the website does is say the same price as the other room and both are obstucted rooms

any thoughts

thanks for the reply--so we can pick a time--after the crown jewels can we just leave

Ive been playing with different sites for tickets and none of them theres a spot to pick your time

with only one full day in london were have to do this the most efficent way we can

we are on the BIritish Isle cruise and spending 2 nights in London before so really only one full day in London--

to make things a bit easier we have booked a private black taxi tour--

Im trying to figure out how to make sure we get to the tower of London to see the crown jewels  really only interested in see those so not spending alot of time there

I have the taxi booked from 1130 to 330 but we can extend it if we need to for a price of course

problem being Im sure it will  be busy so trying to figure out how to time efficnetly do this

I heard early morning and late afternoon are the least crowded

really dont want to be real long since we have the cruise the next day

the other things wed like to see are mostly easy to see 

any advice or tips on this

thanks all

we are booked on the British Isles cruise in sept on DCL----when checking our tours there was quite a few for each port

yet monday when we were able to book the tours theres only a handful to pick from

there just gone--theres a few that say sold out 

for example for each port there were around 6 tours where you could book a private car--those dont show up for any port

just wondering why all of a sudden they were taken down

just curious  

I am planning on trying to find a cruise to take for us my hubby has always wanted to go to germany--

most of the more well known ones such as disney--RCL princess carinval celebrity and a few others

but most of these go to other ports that were not interested in

but in doing a search I found fred olson--but know nothing about them they have a few very interesting cruises to germany

so Im looking for any tips and advice for the ships and ports

also price since it looks like this cruise is out of England since all prices looks to be in british pound

I need alot of advice on what is there to do on the ships dinning port adventures--basially anything and everything--also staterooms

so thanks for all help you can give me

just by thought did the CC used for the deposit have travel insurance with it

ours does and we had to cancel a trip a few years ago--and the CC I used has the travel insurance as one of the perks

so when I had to cancel we got every cent back from the trip

this perk is free with the card

sorry if someone else already mentioned it--I didn't read all the pages

good luck

for our 40th anniverary next year we are looking to do something special

were thinking of spending some time in England and then doing some sort of cruise that goes to

Germany--

are there any cruise lines that even go to Germany as one of there ports--or we were thinking

of doing a river cruise in Germany--but dont really know to much about the ships--like what is there to do if you dont feel like going off the ship

or even a guided tour of Germany--but again I dont know too much about them

approx how many people are on the tours--if you dont feel like going on a tour can you stay at the hotel--do they have a few different tours in each city (or do you just stay in one city) that you can pick from

sorry about all the questions but were really looking into something near

thanks all

thanks for all the very helpful replies--sorry I didnt say thanks sooner though

someone gave me a website that had just what I was looking for plus a few extras

thanks again

thanks for the great website

not only did I order the vatican one

I also found a few other thinks I liked

hopefully theyre come soon

thanks again

thanks for the helpful replies

where on line would I find the replica

we were on the Med cruise last year and while on the tour of Vatican city we were so focused on getting my mom the perfect rosary that we forgot to pick up a replica of the vatican

so if someone is on this cruise regaudless of cruise line would be willing to pick one up for me I would greatly appriecate it

its in the shop to the left as your facing the vatican its where all the rosaries are

I would pay for item and other charges with getting this to me--it doenst have to be big

thanks for the help

we were on this cruise last year--on our tour of the Vatican we were so focused on finding the

perfect rosary for my mom that we totally forgot to get a small replica of the Vatican

so if someone whos going will be willing to pick one up for me I would greatly appreicate it

I will pay for the suvounier and postage

they were in the shop to the left of the vatican as your walking in--its the shop with all the rosaries

thanks all

we are thinking of going to Hawaii for out 40th anniversary next year--we have been to Hawaii several times but this time were thinking of a cruise

first were looking for a good cruise line--weve done DCL and RC and years ago Preiemer

are there any that spend like 2 days on an island-says dock on Mon -Mon night and not leave till say Tues night--so we have some time to do a few tours--weve done cruises to Europe and since you sail at night every morning your in a different city--so you really have to pick the best tour since you only have time for one

hope that all makes sense--

even though weve been there a few times theres still things we didnt get to do and some things wed like to do again--

any other tips or advice would be great thanks all

we are in this room on the alaska cruise this year

we usually pick a deck which has rooms above and below it but since we booked probably on the late side i dont know when these cruises came out but we booked last sept while on our last cruise and we just booked it on the spot since we won the final jackpot bingo

but were rather worried it could be noisey just above the theatre but well be at the second show since we have first dining do they ever have other types of shows after the second one

just a little worried since weve never been above a public place

thanks so any tips would be greatly appreciated

I saw a post on here and someone mentioned that they had a ressie and reansfered it to their TA so they got the now Im not sure if it was all the benefits or just the OBC of both places

it was said they do this all the time with no problems

so if Im understanding this right we booked a cruise last sept while on board--we won the jackpot bingo on the last night so thats what we did with the cash--we booked Alaska for later this year

so we got the usual benefits of 10% off deposit $200 OBC and 10% of th cruise

we wnet through dreams unlimited for last sept cruise so we of course put them down as the TA again

so my question is does this count as transfering of the ressie--so would get the benefits of this TA actually I think the post I read they just got the OBC which would be great if this is the case

please let me know if this is even possible or if I misunderstood something

thanks

thanks mokismommy for the very reassuring post

I know from other things that in the end everything works out but its just so stressful having all of these issues as weeks your to leave on a wonderful cruise

thanks again

wow thanks for the update

thats sure is close as we leave on the 16th--right between the 2 strike dates

I hope on the 16th its business as usual--but since our flight is at 345pm and taking disney trasfers we should be there for hrs before our flight

we are do to fly into Barcelona on 9-8 and leave on the Med cruise 9-9 and if the terror attacks werent enough to deal with now Im hearing about a strike at the Barcelona airport

our light home doesnt leave until 345pm and taking disney transfers Im sure well get to the airport very early

has anyone else heard of this or have gone through it at the airport

thanks all

thanks for the great responses theyve actually made me feel better already--looks like a few of you will be on the cruise with me---have a safe travel--maybe we could meetup

we are booked to leave on the Med in just 3 weeks--with all the terrioist in Barcelona

I was just wondering if any one knows if there were any changes for the cruise leaving this tomorrow

were just a little nervous going there now--so far our TA said our date should not be effected but just the thought of going there now is rather unnerving

just wondering how any of you leave that are leaving soon

thanks and take care

sorry but I do have yet another question

you mentioned hotels and yes we do have one booked its the Barcleona Renaissance Fira

I read on another board that theres another once called just Barcelona REnaissance but it was already booked for disney and its super expensive

do you anything about the Fira hotel--it looks nice I always like to have some idea what Im getting into

I dont know what it was about this trip --it seemed harder to get it all together then when we did a Northern Europe cruise out of Southampton on RC

thanks for answering so many of my questions

thanks so much for the very helpfull tips and yes we have sailed out of PC so I was glad to hear Barcelona is sort of like that and that we will be dropped off where we can leave our luggage

we do have disney transfers from the port to the airport and I know disney is real efficient at getting people off the ship

so thanks again--if you think of any other tips could you please let me know

take care

in just a few weeks we leave on our cruise out of Barcelona

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what how the port is set up and are things easy to find

we have a car service from our hotel to the port ( we did this when we were in London a few years ago and the driver dropped us off by sort of a dock setting where they did take our luggage though) and we just followed a group of people figuring they were heading to the terminal

usually we take disney transfers but the hotels they use were full--we could get the transfers just have to get ourselves to the hotel disney has set up with but by the time you do all that we might as well just take the car service to the port

so if anyone has any tips on the port /terminal /check in or any tips Id greatly appreciate it

thanks all

I just finished paying off our cruise tonight--now Im at a lose

we sail out of Barcelona and plan on getting in the night before--the hotels disney uses for transfers are all booked so first off if anyone could recommend a hotel in barcelona and which is the best and easiest way to get there

also we need transfers from the hotel to the port and back to the airport--

any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated--

this seems like such a different cruise trying to get everything planned--th ones that leave out of port canvaral are the easiest

a few years ago we did a European that left out of Southampton but have a friend that goes to London alot so she recommended a great hotel that a wonderful concigere desk that arranged our transfers from the airport to hotel to port and back to airport--but his this one Im totally lost

thanks
