Your daughter is going to have soooo much stuff to do, she might forget all about swimming. lol. One good thing is you won't get any arguments at bedtime, she will be worn out.

Thanks so much for the info Maritaysa, especially the parking, and packing suggestions.

Hi Maritaysa; How was the weather in Mexico. Was it muggy hot? Was it cold at night? This is our first 7 day cruise and we really don't know what to pack.  How was your check-in process? Did it go smoothly? Most important, did they have enough coconut monkeyheads at the bar to go around? lol

I received this same pop up message when I tried to log on to this site. It took me by surprise. It took a few trys to finally get on. What the heck was that about anybody know?

Your pictures are great, thanks so much for sharing. We signed up for that show  and was wondering what it would be like.

Hi siennasmom; I get excited when I see people are cruising for the first time 'cause I know what a great time you are going to have. Your kids will love Camp Carnival! Those people are so great with kids.

I usually give my room steward their tip in cash in the room envelope. It cuts through the middle man and they appreciate and deserve it. I remember once a steward was so appreciative of his tip, he suprised us by changing our  tags so we could get off the ship earlier. (Oops, maybe I shouldn't have said that ) 

Being a night shift worker for the past 20 years, I can spot coffee a mile away. I will definitely find you TJ. lol  

What an insensitive ***. I hope he doesn't have small children.

We have always opted out of formal nights because we didn't want to "dress up" while on vacation. This time we are all going to take off the flip flops, put on our Sunday go to meeting clothes and experience a formal night.
