July 30, 2010 Mickey's Adventures England to Espana Cruise

We made it back:

We had an amazing time and I think it will be hard to sail out of North America again. I had originally booked this cruise for the dates only and I was not thrilled with the ports but the more I read the more excited I got and the reality was each port was better than the last. I cannot pick a favorite as they all were wonderful.

The girls loved the warm weather and the late daylight. We usually sail in March and then it dark by 6:00 and it is cold on the pool deck so they took advantage of the empty pool in the evening. I would hate to count the hours they spent in the pool it would be huge.

The highlight for the girls was hanging out with Mickey and Pluto for about 15 minutes on deck 4 before sailing out of Vigo

Thank you everyone for all the great information , it was a lot of fun.

Would love to see pictures if anyone wants to share.

Happy planning to everyone for the next cruise.

Hi Everyone - well what an amazing time we had!

Thanks to Deb for sorting the lanyards, they were great. Didn't get to meet many of you - maybe next time - but we did get to spend the week in the company of lovely people at our dinner table!

Our Disney driver took us to wrong terminal and by the time we arrived we they had closed our flight!! We ended up staying in Barcelona for an evening and flew out the next day.

Sheryl, what a shame we didn't know - we could have arranged to meet up! We had a similar issue the next day, but luckily we still made our flight... Hope that you have both recovered from your journey home now - what an ordeal. It was great to meet you!

Well, we took the plunge and booked up for next year while we were on board - sounds like I'm not the only one - so maybe we'll see some of you next year!

It is depressing coming home.

So I have been working on my blog and have completed up to Vigo, and ignoring the pile of stuff in the luggage that needs to be put away.

Does anyone have a good picture of the caves in Gibraltar that I can use, mine are terrible?

Check your credit card statement and see if the processed the deposit.

I think the girls are having a hard time adjusting back to the real world, they were so good on the trip and having so much fun, this weekend they were crazy, and the dreaded "I'm bored"

Lisbon, Portugal
Cadiz, Spain

We also had a couple fo sea days thrown in for good measure .. a great itinerary but one that they won't be doing again apparently. Captain John said they would not be coming out of Dover again and would nearly always start/end in Barcelona from now.

They sound like great ports. We did the bottom three on a transatlantic crossing in 2007. Gibraltar was our favorite. Well thank for your quick reply. I'm sorry to hear that they won't be repeating the cruise. Did the ship seem empty?

It was great ports and I enjoyed to see the Gibraltar and I felt disappointed that Captain Peter said at Vigo that not come back... the ship was fill up at end... as this ship was opened to Cat 12 last Jan and lots of UK people booked it...

maybe that why disney cruise won't do it again but I don't understand that it will be Baltic in future

I enjoyed the cruise from Dover to Barcelona as there were lovely weather, lovely ports and everything was great....

Captain Peter??? Deborah .. have you been drinking Bahama Mama's again!!?
Peter was the Cruise Director .. we had Captain John on this cruise.

Drunkard!

Regarding Gibraltar ... lovely place but hold tight to your bag/camera/phone as I had my brand new IPhone 4 pickpocketed. The Police and locals were great and all blamed the recent influx of Algerian immigrants. I haven't got a clue who it was, but hope it never happens to anyone else.

I know hard to believe it was 3 weeks since we could see things like this.

Much nicer than my windowless office

So what is a girl to do, of course firm up plans for the next cruise. I decided that Alaska is out and I am going back to the Med next August. I am going to leave the girls at home (they are never going to know or they will kill me, and are away anyway) and take my sister hopefully. I really wanted to go on the Liberty of the Seas, which has a very similar 7 day from Barcelona but DCL, with moving my Alaska cruise is much less. .

I just feel like I missed so much especially in Barcelona, and I don't think they are ready for Rome yet.

I finished my blog if anyone wants to see more of my pictures.

We're just about to book the 7 night Med on Aug 20th 2011. It'lll be me and my partner Mick, my mum and someone (no decision yet), friends Emma and Kerry plus, hopefully Mel (FloridaMel) and her family again.

Which one are you booking?
