We've booked for 27 October 2018 Unfortunately Concierge was way out of our price range, so we've gone with a category 5E aft room with extended verandah instead. Very excited!

I love Disney cruise line, we go on our 3rd cruise with them in September!

I had a 5E on the Dream, and my balcony was HUGE!

I'm on this one too! Can't wait.

As for 2018 I may skip the WBTA as it just doesn't appeal. This years at least has a few warm ports but I can't see the 2018 one being warm at all! Hopefully 2019 will be better as I might book a placeholder on this years for that. Does anyone know if you can still ask the booking people to hold your reservation until the last day of the cruise to put through so that you get the maximum travel window?

Hi Sarah, give them some Jelly Babies or Cadburys and I'm sure they'll happily hold your booking until the last day. They tend to do this anyway .. I prefer getting it a few days before the end as I want to walk off that ship with a reservation/placeholder number. It can't be rectified once you're off, so I always make sure I have it a few days before we leave.

I'm also thinking about the Tranny next year .. we're doing Panama Canal in April and the ports on the WBTA 2018 are just not doing it for me right now. I love the thought of going from Dover, but is that enough to do the whole trip?

Oh that's actually a good point! Maybe I'll do it after St John's just to be on the safe side lol

I'm totally not enthralled by the ports next year! I am hoping this years might inspire me but who knows. Maybe 2019 will be better (hence I want a late date placeholder just in case)

The PC is fairly cheap for 14 nights and is warmer. We've not done it yet (April is first time), but I hear great reports about it. Just the mere fact that you're onboard for 14 nights and it's warm is a winner for me!
I booked our flights yesterday .. out of LGW to MCO, then out of LAX back to LHR. Could have got cheaper boomerang flights but when I added in the Dublin flight, hotel, breakfast etc, it only saved us around £100 each and it was a faff on a Friday night to do it, so we just booked direct with VA.

You travel as a singly right? We have a US friend who is always after a cruise buddy if you ever want to share with her. She's very friendly, sadly a widow (aged 40 ish) and likes her cocktails!

And yes I do and would definitely be up for a cruise buddy! Similar age too (37 here) so would be fab!

Get a cruise buddy and half the cost of a cruise!
I know Christine would fancy the PC and the WBTA. She lives in Connecticut by the way do only a short train ride up from NYC.
How cool would it be if you did become cruise buddies?!

Would it only be the October PC you'd be interested in or maybe the April one (although sold out right now).
