that sounds like alot of fun  the met and greet  cant wait to put a face and voice to yall 

and the first night is the day we leave or the first full day on the holiday,

i hope a few of you  that have been on alot of cruises can answer this question for me.

 how do i get a surprize birthday cake for my wife debbie at dinner.and if i can do it on the formal night dinner?

cant wait cant wait  have been countin down the hours since march  just a few more weeks til its time to be  like  kids in a candy story agin

Allen: 

There are two ways that I know of to order a birthday cake: call the Gifts Dept at 1-800-522-7648 at least one week prior to the cruise and order the size and flavor you would like.  Tell them you want it delivered to your dining table on formal night and they will see to it. You can look at the selections under the gifts section on the Carnival website.  The other way is to go to the dining room you are assigned to as soon as possible upon boarding and talk to the maitre d'.  They would also be happy to arrange it for you.  There is a charge for the birthday cakes, but it's not alot of money and worth it to surprise your wife - that's very sweet of you!

buncobabe1, your just across the way from my sister and I we are both from Oklahoma, Im eastern and she is southern. Will you and your husband be flying in?

GTGIRL, meet and greets are always fun, remember to bring a bottle of bubbly on board and we can pop the corks for a grand bon voyage party! Get with me and we can make a bon voyage to remember!

We look forward to seeing you all on board, just look for the 3 amigos!

No, Diva C.  We are going to be driving to Mobile.  If you are from Oklahoma, you are closer to the western border of Arkansas.  My sister lives in Bentonville, AR.  We are in the northeast corner of Arkansas.  We are going to drive down on Saturday or Sunday.

Can't wait to meet everyone!  Only 25 and a half days!  Woo hoo!!!

25 more days  left its going to be a long wait  wife and friend are almost over exicted about going  im starting to now we live in north alabama so its just about a 6-7 hour drive for us

I was going to drive in, (11 hours) but my sister & friend wanted to fly so we are flying in on Monday morning...I hope to be on the ship by noon..... 25 days and counting?...... wait I must NOT have gotten the bug yet, my bag is still in the closet...LOL! Usually I have my bag out and already picking and choosing clothes....Heck I dont even have my mani and pedi scheduled.......truly a sign of a desperate need to be on the water.......~wink pulling out my day planner and getting busy...........ciao~

My wife and I are taking my parents with us on the Holiday for their 41st anniversary.  First cruise for them, 3rd for us.  We've been on the Fantasy outta New Orleans earlier in the year, and the Majesty of the Seas back in 04, heard the Holiday is a nice little ship, so it should be a great time.

Our sailing date is fast approaching, so let’s make plans for a meet and greet.  I thought I would make the following suggestion.

Meet at 2:45 on the Lido Deck.  This is the same deck as the buffet.  There is a small pool in the rear of the ship.  This is located just outside the buffet area.  There will be beverages available on the buffet and for those who desire something more, there is a bar.  I think 2:45 will give us time before the fire drill which is usually immediately at sailing.

If you go to the Carnival website you can find the deck plan of the Holiday.  Click on the Lido Deck and you will see the area.

It would be great to meet for a few minutes and put a face to the names from the forum.
