    December 3rd, 2023 - 14-Night Eastbound Panama Canal Cruise from San Diego ending in Galveston

    Our only other Panama Canal cruise was several years ago through the old canal. We're hoping that this cruise doesn't encounter any hurricanes in the Pacific - we missed two ports in Mexico on that cruise due to hurricane damage. Some of the entertainment wasn't able to get onboard because of...

    May 20th, 2023 - 7-Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona (Toulon, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, Palma de Mallorca)

    I'm excited that there's some extra time in Naples. We're taking an outside excursion that includes three stops, and I was a bit anxious about getting back in time. I've taken a peek at the extended weather forecast for our ports. Each port from Toulon to Naples has more than a 50% chance of...

    May 20th, 2023 - 7-Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona (Toulon, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, Palma de Mallorca)

    I was able to get a ticket this evening. I will NOT be happy if they sold me a ticket when it wasn't open, since it's a ticket for that specific date..

    May 20th, 2023 - 7-Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona (Toulon, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, Palma de Mallorca)

    I'm trying to get some last minute arrangements and confirmations done. I've been having lots of issues ordering tickets online today. I've been able to get my tickets for the Aerobus from the airport to Placa Cataluña, and tickets for Montserrat on Friday. I have my Mt Vesuvius tix, but no luck...

    May 20th, 2023 - 7-Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona (Toulon, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, Palma de Mallorca)

    I was just able to get our tickets for access to Mount Vesuvius. We're taking a tour through DiSarno that doesn't include the separate tickets to the three areas they are taking us to: Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Herculaneum. We'll order the other two sets just before we leave. And I just found out...

    May 20th, 2023 - 7-Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona (Toulon, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, Palma de Mallorca)

    Thanks for passing on those links. The trip report is very useful. I checked the schedule for the boys choir for the Friday we are planning on going. I thankfully remembered that European calendars are not always aligned like ours - Sunday to Saturday, so checked by date - it looks like they...

    May 20th, 2023 - 7-Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona (Toulon, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, Palma de Mallorca)

    We just booked tickets to the Carmen, Carmen, Carmen flamenco performance at the Palau de la Musica for Friday night before the cruise. It's SO nice to just pay for the tickets - no extra ticket handling charges. We will also bring the tickets to the box office during the day to get a discount...

    May 20th, 2023 - 7-Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona (Toulon, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, Palma de Mallorca)

    We were definitely concerned about the cost of the flights. We saw the great cruise rates and wanted to go, but the airfares we found were more than the cost of the cruise. It's relatively cheap to fly to London, and initially thought of taking the train from there to Barcelona, but were not...

    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    Some additional comments: 1. What were the bingo prices? $25 for a 3 card paper card. At the final bingo, they ran out of electronic sets, which offered a better value – I think $40 got you 24 cards, $50 got you 48 cards. 2. Is everything self serve again on the ship? (Buffet, ice cream...

    Bermuda?

    You may want to check to see what Bermuda's current COVID protocol is. We'll be on the transatlantic stopping there in about ten days, and we had to have testing (at our own expense) before we boarded and also on the boat before we arrive in Bermuda. On top of that, there's a $40 travel...

    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    I'm glad that we are arriving at Heathrow Saturday morning and just spending the night at the Ibis airport hotel and heading back to the terminal in the morning to catch the shuttle to the port. The port shuttle will have a much easier way with traffic from Heathrow than the shuttles picking up...

    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    As I suspected, still no reservation for our cruise to be found on the Prenetics website this morning. It looks like my Wednesday prediction might be overly optimistic.

    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    I'm glad to hear something's going right. In a burst of optimism, I tried the Prenetics site this morning, and promptly had my hopes dashed.

    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    No luck either. And with Monday a Federal holiday, I'll be prepared that it may be at least until Tuesday before we can register. Or Wednesday, if Disney sends it to them on Tuesday and then it gets loaded onto Prenetics the next day.

    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    Check-in complete! It was useful to have prepared a reference document based on the recommendations from the main Disney cruise forum https://www.disboards.com/threads/what-do-i-need-to-have-prepared-for-online-check-in.3885775/page-5#post-64223834 I'm glad that I had taken my photos in advance...
