dinnysuw said:HERE I AM!! Had to work last nite-but I am catching up on all the new posts-yeah!!
Rhonda here is my input on the early or late dinner seating. We had late for our 04 cruise and LOVED it. It was much more relaxed, no rushing to get ready. there is always food available as well as room service that me made sure we ate a late lunch and if that didn't work, we would order the all ahnds on deck platter from room service before dinner to munch on.
that brings me to my next thing..since I am the unofficial list keeper of this cruise-how about we start listing cabin numbers and seating times so I can start adding that info to our list. of course if you'd rather not, that's fine too!
we are in 6060 late seating-same cabin as our 04 cruise!
Amanda-thanks for the HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes!:
You are welcome! Right now we have 5022/5024 yes ladies that's right the SPH! BUT if the whole family does not go ( which I alked about early) than that will change.

and Dave 
We will be staying in Room 7000, right up next to the crew quarters, guaranteed to be nice and quiet. 
for the first time, we are going to love the privacy of the dead-end corridor. 
so far, always with a verandah in the family cabins, since we are a family of 5. 
We had plenty of time to enjoy the empty pools and relax at the shows. We usually got dressed right after the shows and played the nighttime bingo ... we won $600!! 
But we spent $625!! 
We would hit the picture lines (on formal night, captain night, etc.) about 6:05pm and could just walk right up as everyone else had just rushed into early seating. Late worked out great for us. The kids ordered everything as soon as they looked over the menu and then went up to the room or to the clubs when they were finished, leaving hubby and me to have a quiet dessert on our own. 
Our kids are DD-12, DD-11 and DS-9, we did not see many little ones at late seating, but there were only 315 kids (under 18) onboard for the 14-day, 
instead of the usual 850-1050, so we never saw many little ones!! 
you asked months ago about the adoption. Think of it this way: we have to deal with four levels of government here in the US (one city, two states (NY and and Pennsylvania) and the federal immigration service plus the government in China-- so it's a big mess! We're a little farther along, and we're praying to have the baby by the cruise, and that my husband won't be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan (he's still on the call up be ready to go in 72 hour list) until the adoption is done. It takes longer than being pregnant, and friends of ours who adopted here in the States (which we can't afford, unfortunately) waited over two years for their daughter.
Good to see you posting again and yes I think I will punish you for not visiting the boards enough
HOpe to see you here more often and keep us updates on the baby sitch!
They are pretty good kids but they will be 6 and 3 and they are certainly a couple of handfuls at times. Hopefully they will be so entertained in the kids clubs that they will be blissfully happy and calm the rest of the time (okay so that is wishful thinking but I like to think positive!).

!I was beginning to think I smelled bad or something! Pretty soon we can say we are sailing in less than a year!! 
It was very cute and it was a lot better than I thought it would be. Amanda, I still say you look a lot like Lindsay Lohan
