Pamela we waited for 9 months after it opened to go on it. It is fun but the wait time is still 60-90 mins. If you have early entry and just want to do that it would be OK, but otherwise never do it in the morning. Only do this ride in the evening, later the better.
At the moment I have about 8 pairs of the regular "Beach" style, 1 pair of Niles, 1 pair of Cleo and 1 pair of Mamoths. I am eyeing the Adara and Sassari 
I felt the same way - then I went on the Freedom of the Seas on a TA inaugural weekend, hey it was free, and I was really suprised at how manageable it was. The size has the benefit of not any one area being really crowded at any one time.
I too am a little leary on the size of the new Genesis class but you can bet I will be on it to at least tour it.
Anyone want to zip line on a ship
http://oasisoftheseas.com/
Some of the attractions that will be available
Building an amusement boardwalk - including a Carousel, boardwalk games, two climbing walls and the first ever Zipline on a ship
Central Park feature with serene pathways and canopy trees, al fresco dining and shopping
The largest Promonade on any RCCL ship including a levitating Risiing Tide Bar transporting guests between three decks and enough shops, pubs and restaurants to entertain even the most traveled travelers
They will also have 2000 sq ft staterooms - Loft Staterooms with multi leveled suites with floor to ceiling windows.
Another first is inside rooms with balconies that will overlook some of these interior areas
A way to get a balcony or a room with a view without paying for a verandah ocean view room
Anyone up for a reunion in 2010 for another TOAL?

Gonna try one of these big ships soon. Hope DCL hasn't spoiled me though Sunday works for me
Yeah, I was a bit disappointed when we lugged a wooden changing table, a bassinet and a large bag of clothes to a second hand shop and got very little money backWell, I guess I will not try that again. It was a waste of time. I realize I am too emotionally attached to their clothes.To sit there while they gave almost nothing for clothes that had basically only been worn once from Gymboree was riduclous. A $35.00 sweater that has been worn once was $1.50. No thanks!
I am going to give them to my neighbor since she has 3 girls and it would help them out.
I will just give the girls their spending money.
It just wasn't worth the hassle
Can a non-travel agent get a tour of a cruise ship ? My Mom is deathly afraid of the water and would never agree to cruise, but if she could tour one ahead of time I might be able to convince her to try a 3 day cruise.I felt the same way - then I went on the Freedom of the Seas on a TA inaugural weekend, hey it was free, and I was really suprised at how manageable it was.

"Pack Rat Syndrome"I know I am too emotionally attached to everything! LOL! I haven't been able to part with hardly any of Claire's clothes.
Yep I ordered ours a couple days ago and will transfer right before we leave!
I am glad we're not the only ones that have to do Casey's every time! Many times multiple times
Yeah almost not worth it with whole wheat buns and apple slices! Ya know, it's great for Disney to give healthy options, but geez I'm on vacation! I want the junk food! I want fries with my Casey's dog on a white bun!
Then I ordered the wrong size. I called Nordstrom and they do not carry them in the stores. 
Then I tried Academy Sports. When I called to find out the prices and sizes the girl told me that they had them and they were half off too. So...we go up there and loe and behold- not on sale. But, the sales man checked w/ the manager and they offered them to me for half off! So turns out all's well that ends well. Of course I had to buy myself some new crocs while I was there too.
Did you try emailing Crocs about the broken strap? I had one of the fastener things that hold the strap to the shoe break and they sent me a small baggy with 5 new ones for free.
As you can tell, I wear Crocs a LOT

"Pack Rat Syndrome"
I couldn't part with things like their first denim jacket or the purple clogs that Kelly picked out for a special picture for her Dad's b-day. Took me forever to find an outfit to match those clogs. I just tell my self that I'm saving them for my grandkids
While my DMiL had saved some clothes and toys from DH's childhood, my DM had nothing saved
Now I'm the other extreme and save too much
Oh, I don't know. As I recall when you have formal night at Animators everyone shows up in white dinner jacket, and during the evening the waiters spill various colors of food on you until, by the end of the evening, everyone is a multicolored/multiflavored mix. Then they come around and spray everyone down with black liquid licorice so you can go out (dripping) to your formal photos....
