I'm here. =)
The boat is really beautiful. And at first you're really confused and have no idea where to get where you're going, but it gets easy in the middle of the week. Then, just as you know everything, you leave.

But it's a gorgeous ship and the crew... simply amazing. I was even friends with the woman who cleaned our room.
I didn't go to tea with any character cause i was 13 then, I'll be 15 this time. But the pools... i dont even know. I never went swimming in the pools on the ship. They were usually pretty crowded though. But, hopefully, everyone is really respectful so don't hesitate to go swimming whenever you feel like it.
I was on the magic last time so I have a pretty good idea of where to go this time. haha. Everything there is to do on the cruise, is pretty much personal preference. They have schedules everywhere and you can pick one up and see what's going on that you want to do. Most of the time I was with my friends at the movies and walking around. So you can probably see me everywhere.
The one thing I suggest is: if you want to do something. do it. don't think "well maybe later." just do it (if you can, of course.) because there are so many things to do. so just have fun.
and yes. i am on the FE list. DVC2themax is my mommy.

We're on deck 2 while everyone else is on deck 7.
