Thanks to everyone for your replies! It looks like it will be Jan 2011 for our cruise, but at least you all have made me feel much better about going in January! Now that I can be okay with that month, I can start researching everything I can about the cruise. I know nothing! We have a MLK holiday and 2 teacher workdays in the same week in January, so the kids will only miss 2 days of school on a 8-9 day trip! Now to start the countdown! 22 more months!
