I'm glad there are a lot of options for everyone. We just have to hope for no strikes and a sleepy volcano!
I second this from the bottom of my heart.

ok all the talk about stats for the cruise - I set up a Google spreadsheet to track everything! I will slowly use the main site to transfer over info that is on the website (except for real names - just sticking with DISnames so it is not so big. If you would like to help in this project personally you can go and fill in your own information! It will take me days to do it myself but I will start doing it. If you think of something else besides what i have on there that we should be tracking - let me know and I will add it.
I took all the names from the website and/or the wristband sheet so if you are not on there add yourself to the bottom please! We have a total of 145 cabins listed!

A lot of this was media hype. We decided on the Monday before our cruise, at the height of the whole volcano business, that we were not going to chance missing the boat and we booked everything then for leaving the next day. This is not going to be on the same scale as there are plenty of UK airports that are not operated by BAA.

I don't think we do actually! Can't recall anyone anyway?
let me check because it is not suppose to require a login

I have dead ancestors in Ireland (the Finnan clan) - does that count? (Also Linsday in Scotland and Hagerman in Germany; yes, I'm a mutt!)
Do you have a particular time you recommend for an Alaskan cruise?
It couldn't be simpler. Just hop on an afternoon Eurostar from London to Paris, then take the Elipsos 'trainhotel' from Paris to Barcelona overnight. Enjoy dinner in the restaurant or a drink in the bar as French villages swish past in the moonlight before retiring to your sleeper for the night, then wake up in Spain. Fares start at £59 return for the Eurostar plus £66 each way for the trainhotel, including a bed in a 4-bed Tourist class sleeper.
Travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, leaving London St Pancras at 15:02 and arriving in Paris Gare du Nord at 18:17 .
Travel from Paris to Barcelona overnight on the trainhotel 'Joan Miro', leaving Paris Gare d'Austerlitz daily at 20:34 and arriving next morning in Barcelona França station at 08:24
Hope we do not need it.
Great backup plan!! If I get to Frankfort and can't make the Air Berlin flight, is there a similar train?
You could get a train from Frankfort to Paris, it takes about four hous and trains leave ever 2 to 3 hours.
We looked at that option too but can't get to London for 3 on the 17th and will not make the cruise intime so hence booked another flight. Im sure I'm panicing over nothing but would rather waste £50 than find we can't make the cruise. If we were travelling earlier I wouldn't have bothered, but we can't leave until that evening so bit of a panic!
I told my DIL we can do more shopping and pick up a cheap suitcase since we can now bring 2 suitcases each for the way home.
