lnm6170 - we are dropping the dogs off at the dogsitter around 9am then heading to VA Beach. Our daughter (who lives there) will bring us to the pier and drop us off.

Sunday forcast as of right now is a high of 52. It might be a little chilly!!

We are not going to do the Halloween costume thing. There just was not enough time to get something together.

Since this is our first time - once we get checked in will we be able to take our carry on bags to the room and drop them?

Hi everyone,

We will also be sailing on the Triumph out of Norfolk Oct 18th. This is our first cruise and we are really excited. We are celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary and hubbys birthday (Oct 24th).

We are from Colonial Heights (outside of Richmond). We have a balcony room and have booked the Stingray Adventure. We were thinking of doing the Sedgeway tour but have not made a final decision.

Since we booked through AAA under a group booking I am not sure if we qualify for a credit if the price dropped, but I guess it would not hurt to ask.

See you on board!

We just got a call from Carnival offering to upgrade our cabin to a balcony for $100 per person. We were booked on the Main deck with an oceaview. We decided to go for the upgrade and will be on the Empress deck. I have never had a room with a balcony. How is it? Are there chairs on the balcony? Is there any privacy or can you see directly into the neighboring balconies?

The only drawback I can find is the room we orginally had was located in the middle of the ship and our new room is awfully close to the rear of the boat.

Five more days to go!

Yea I hear ya about the getting sick thing! I'm packing a pump of hand sanitizer to keep in our room and a travel size one to carry around in my bag everywhere we go! I do not wanna get sick when I'm supposed to be on vacation! Although, I've been feeling kinda cruddy the last few days with these crazy temp changes and my allergies are really kicking my butt! So many things to do this week...gotta get the kids up and at school as usual and still clean the entire house for my inlaws to stay and keep the kids during the cruise...laundry...pack....at least I will have something to do everyday to make cruise time come faster :-) I think I said a few posts ago but hubby and I are dressing up as Sookie Stackhouse and either Bill or Eric (my hubby would prob pass better as Eric since he's tall with lighter hair than Bill) from the show True Blood on HBO which is based off the Southern Vampire Mysteries written by Charlaine Harris. What are you all gonna dress up as? I don't think our costumes are elaborate enough to win any contests but it will still be fun to pretend to be someone else for a day :-) This time next weekend I will be freaking out! HAHA!

Hey yall the Halloween thing is official! I got an email from Carnival today :-) It says they will have a night called Frightfully Fun with costume contests and special desserts and such! So def pack your costumes! Ahhh I think I'm going crazy with the amount of things I need to get done between now and next Sunday!

That's awesome! I read that thread from cruisecritic and that's gonna be so much fun! I'm gonna pack my costume either way just so I'm prepared. It's nothing elaborate so even if for some reason there aren't any Halloween festivities my outfit won't take up much room in my suitcase. Anyone watch True Blood on HBO? My hubby and I are gonna be Sookie Stackhouse and Bill (or Eric since my hubby is 6'5" lol) :-) I can't believe we are down to 10 days! My hubby is home from Iraq, but he isn't quite home here with me til a few days before we cruise. He had to go back to Alaska since that's where he's stationed. I'm so ready for a much needed vacation!

Hey everyone! I'm so excited I just got an email from Carnival with all the last minute pointers before our cruise sets sail! I read a few posts up that there will be a Halloween party??? Are you sure, and how did you find out? I read somewhere on these boards a while ago that there will only be Halloween costume parties if your ship is actually at sail on the 31st. How do we find out for sure cuz I'm all for bringing my costume if this is true!! Also, someone was asking about excursions. My hubby and I are doing the Sea & See Tour and the Atlantis Beach Day the 2 days we are in Nassau (one on each day) and then the Dolphin Close Encounter in Freeport. Anyone else doing these?? Ahhh I'm going crazy here, the waiting is killing me! See you all soon!
