Every time I read these updates I want to go back.
Every time I read these updates I want to go back.
I can remember it like it was yesterday. We had beautiful weather for our embarkation day.... we were lucky.
Every time I read these updates I want to go back.
Every time I read one I wish we were back.
You are convincing me to do this cruise!
I'm so curious about this itinerary. I really think I'd like to do it in 2019.
I really hope you get the chance. You will love this cruise. I'll keep trying to twist your arm with more updates!
It's a great itinerary and I hope they offer it again in 2019. To be surrounded by the beauty and splendor of England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales was incredible. What an amazing cruise.
Love, Love, Love reading. It takes me back to those 12 magical nights and visiting the British Isles. This was our first cruise over 8 nights, and our first time on a lower deck too (Deck 1 for us). I am so hoping that Disney does another 12 night BI in the future, we would return for sure!
Really enjoying your report. Reminds me of when my family and I were on the cruise the previous year. I still remember checking in in Dover and the Disney rep saying we had to turn over our passports. We had no idea. We were so thankful we brought our driver's license for picture ID as we almost didn't since we thought we would be using our passports as ID! Newcastle was our first port, and we didn't need our passport there. At least for Ireland, it was toward the beginning for you all!!!
I would definitely go again as there is soooooo much more we need to experience.
Can't wait to read more!
This was a delicious read! We are on the 7 night BI in 2018. Will you be writing about the actual cruise and ports of call? Or maybe you have on a different thread? Your information is very helpful. Thanks!
Curious, did your room have the two separate bathrooms?..... one room with a toilet/sink and the other with the shower?
We did an interior room to save on cost. We were mid ship 6th floor. My only complaint was at night, other not so quiet passengers going to their state rooms, (mostly kids). Grrr!
first room picture shows split bath on left, first door closed is sink/toilet and second door open is shower/sink.

I agree, you had a much nicer room.... we knew our excursions would be pricey so we opted for the least expensive room. We didn’t spend much time in our room BUT having the toilet separated from the shower is a nice option... I kind of missed that. Usually we get a veranda but not this trip.
Awesome update! The views in Dover and as you sail away are MARVELOUS!!! My husband took a million pictures of the view!!!
We too were on deck 2 but in an inside cabin. Perfect location. The inside wasn't as bad as I thought since we didn't spend that much time in the cabin and it was perfect for the baby to nap as it was dark!
Can't wait for more!
Leading up to this 12 night cruise I was slightly concerned about being on deck 2 with only a window. Possibly feel too confined or cut off from cruise activities.
Our cabin was actually more convenient than any other we've had. No long treks to and from the stateroom after a long day of excursions. Only 1 flight up or down from the gangway and always quiet. I won't hesitate to book this area again on our next British Isles cruise... if they ever offer another 12 night. 7 nights is just not enough ports for me.
