Thanks for the warm welcomes.   Our first priority when we board will be to find something to eat........we're on vacation!!!    And we'll be leaving at six in the morning  so we should be good and hungry by the time we board.  Those airplane peanuts just don't do the trick when you have breakfast or lunch in mind, do they?  We will make it to meet everyone as it's just a nice way to start a cruise - making new friends! 


No, we didn't get coupons for the Pinnacle dinning room.  Just signed up for the first night because it was half price.  That way, I can have the extra money for the little drinks with the umbrellas in them, or get one of those all you can drink pineapples I've been reading about.  One should probably be my limit, but with unlimited refills I will have to get my money's worth.  (If I knew how, there would be a smiley face here!)


I've gotten so good at  packing for a cruise.  Have narrowed it down to a small suitcase and a carry-on.  When we first started cruising I took everything - in case - that I could think of.  Even had 9 pair of shoes once.  Now I try to limit what I bring so I'll have room for those little "extras" I want to take home like the heavy booze bottles I get in St. Thomas.  This time of year it's great to buy the flavored chocolate rum drinks for unique gifts.  Each time we go, my DH tells me he's not carrying alcohol home, and each time there is just something we have to have.  We really aren't big drinkers, but it's nice to have all of the exotic liqueurs on hand.
