Just booked last night!  First time to have 2 cruises booked at same time (4/26-Liberty and now this one)   Can't wait to see the refurbished ship.  Is anyone else going?

My soon to be husband and I will be on that ship for our honeymoon!!! I get more and more excited each day. Its my 1st cruise and his 2nd. We are at least under the 100 day mark now...lol. Looking foreward to a wonderful time.

How awesome, me and my soon to be wife are going to be going on 9-22-08 also..... Will be our honeymoon too!! Looks like a good cruise for that!!

Hefty, thats cool. When are you 2 getting married. We are getting married Sept. 20. I can't wait for Sept 22 to get here!!!!.

Hi Happy-

There will be 15 of my family on this trip!!  Sort of a family reunion (but just a small branch!)  This will be my 5th Carnival cruise, the 2nd for some & the 1st for others in our group.  We're all very excited to be at the 60 day mark!!

Have you booked any shore tours?  If so, which ones?

We are also getting married September 20th! Can't wait!! We fly out Monday morning at 5:45. Will be my first cruise and fiance's 4th cruise, so I can't wait!

My husband and I are taking our youngest girls on thier 1st cruise(5 & 8). We're excited about pretty much everything. This is my 5 or so cruise or so & my husbands 2nd. Questions, how much are beers on board(all listings I find are 2006 or b/f, inflation ya know), is there a mini bar & hairdrye? Any recomendations on restaurants in Cayman? I don't want Hard Rock or commercial type place; more auth Caymanian. Any warnings about Chankanaab for kids I should know & how do they know if your sunscrean in your bag & on your body is biodegradable? I've hd skin cancer & my dermo has never heard of such & insists I wear the reg stuff 70+.

Thanks for any info & congrats to all those honeymooners coming on board. Do beware of the souveniers that pop out 40 weeks later.

My fiance and I are going on the 9/22 as well, but not for our honeymoon, that won't be until March.  It's my first cruise and his fourth or fifth. We live in the Tampa Bay area, so that's really the only reason we picked this cruise, but it should be great. we booked back in January and I can't wait for it to get here already.  :) 

I have biodegradable sunscreen - it's Aloe Up.  I found it on-line.  Cost about $10 per 4 or 5 oz tube (too big for airline carry on).  I bought a water sport variety (SPF 30) which goes on like Vaseline - very thick.  I was out quite long, and ended up sunburnt anyway.  I noticed that I wasn't leaving a grease slick when I was in the water, maybe that's how they'll know if you're wearing biodegradable.

There are no hair dryers, and you're actually not supposed to bring them, but we do anyway (gotta tame the tresses!).  No mini bars in the cabins (at least not in the cheap ones!!)  Can't help you with the beer prices or restaurant recommendations, sorry.

There will be 14 of us on the cruise (10 adults, 4 kids [16, 14, 10, 7]), and on 9/22 we will all be wearing terra cotta colored T-shirts.  Please say hello if you happen to see us : )

Hi azaimee

cant wait for the cruise its now 33 days. this family cant wait.

Any monkey heads out there?

Is that SCSherie?!!  23 days and counting down!!  What's a monkey head?

Greetings fellow cruisers, I'm in with all you 9-22 cruisers. I can't believe it's finally.......... almost here. We bought the tickets back in January. I been telling myself to just enjoy the excitment because it will be here and gone so fast. Then I can book another cruise :). I just don't think I can hang on another 23 long days. The weather channel is making me insane. Can't wait to get on that ship and enjoy my first monkey head. I can make it! See you all "on board"!
