Ah no sorry the week after the cruise is! So if you aren't getting there until the week after you will be A-OK!

Sorry for the mis-information

It's not a British school holiday, the schools in England maybe off but in Scotland there is no school holidays in June, not sure about in Wales

So we have finalized our plans for our European Vacation after the cruise.

We have booked an apartment in Barcelona for 3 days on a website called House Trip. For those with larger groups you can just input your parameters and it will give you a list. We got ours for 195 Euros for the 3 nights. It is right near the Church and close to the metro.

From there, we are flying on Vueling to Croatia for 6 days. We got an apartment overlooking the Adriatic on the same website for 250 Euros.

Then we fly Aer Lingus to Dublin and then Dublin to JFK and then on to Buffalo. That flight was suprisingly inexpensive only 2300 Canadian for the 3 of us.

This will definitely be the trip of a lifetime!

Fantastic plans! Especially jealous of the Croatia part. I really want to go to Dubrovnik and Split, it's very high up on my list

Hi Tink

My wife's family is from Croatia, so the end of this trip had to end up in Dubrovnik. It looks beautiful and we can't wait to get there.

No problem. I appreciate your help. We are doing a 9 night Baltic cruise out of Copenhagen after the TA and then 4 nights in Paris. Thank you for the links.

Ah I'm so jealous! Baltics cruise is definitely the next cruising holiday we want to do after this EBTA!

I'm getting panicked about all the rumours for major changes in 2013 - you don't think they are planning on scrapping the Med altogether do you?? :-(

[Ladyshopper]

Still can't confirm whether I am joining you, arghhhhhhhhhh!!

Having a nightmare trying to get flights booked, have been trying to book some since Saturday with my avios points, but they've had systems down and all sorts, and result is I still don't know whether the flight is confirmed, and until this one is sorted I don't want to book the flight to Houston or move cruises.

So annoying.

There's been a change to one of the Caribbean cruises next year. They've added Jamaica as a port, not sure what they have changed it from to be honest.

Now all I'm reading on this forum and others saying oh there's going to be major changes to all 2013 cruises because nothing is selling etc etc. Now I know these people don't really have anything to go on and are just adding fire to other rumours but it's pretty darn annoying when they don't think how it might upset someone who has paid hundreds out for cruises and flights!

Relieved

If Disney cancels this, they may as well get out of the cruise business as far as I'm concerned!

I think it's a go.

[kaseyC]

Just bumping!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I wouldn't worry about this cruise getting changed or cancelled. The Magic has to reposition to Barcelona to do the Med cruises. I don't know about all Med cruises, but the 12-night cruises appear to be selling well. One of the July cruises to Greece is sold out or nearly so.
