And the Dream is coming to Europe!

[Bats]

Prices are pretty eye watering still!

Really good that they are utilising Southampton, but sad that Dover is no longer a port as it's so close for me!

Some new ports showing already so that will attract a base crowd to start with. We've just been to Zeebrugge with Virgin and it's a lovely town!

Thanks

Has anyone ever tried phoning DCL when in the US? Not sure whether it's better to call the US or UK number...

I guess it would depend on your network provider. If you can use your mobile in the US the same as you can here (same tariff etc), then just call the UK number.
Just be prepared for a really long wait as people have been waiting upwards of 4 hours recently.

Always press the option for Spanish though!

Oooh a 4 night cruise to Spain and back (Southampton) will be a busy one! Aug 30th so you may just get it in before schools go back!

Or the 4 night to La Rochelle in France on 26th Aug!

We can use our minutes to call UK numbers from the US but not sure I fancy being on hold for several hours while on holiday. The 5th May is our check out day from Cabana Bay before we head to Disney so we want to spend the morning in the Universal theme parks. I'm gutted the summer 2023 booking date has been delayed so much that it clashes with our holiday (1st trip abroad since 2019!) and you have to phone to book with a placeholder

Ok, so I would log on as soon as my booking window opens and book what I wanted. I know you lose the 10% first off, but once you get back, have another check to see the prices and if the 10% makes it better, then call them and rebook.

That EBTA is going to be hugely popular depending on cost! Great ports and sunshine all the way!
