I haven't checked this for your date, but there is a sub-forum called Cruise Meets. If you scan through there for your date, you'll likely find a thread started by some of your fellow Dissers who will be on that particular voyage.
I'd ask the same question on that thread. A cruise meet is a great way to meet people before your cruise begins and I've seen several families' kids start chatting in advance.
We did this before our first cruise in 2006 and still keep in touch with each other. Who'd a thunk?!?
Well, I went back and looked at the Cruise Meets sub-forum and didn't see your particular date, although there a posting for November 9th and 15th, 2008. So you can start your own! Introduce your family and ask others to post. I'm sure you'll get responses!
