Thanks, I knew the name was familiar for a reason.

We are in for this cruise! Just booked last week on the Magic. We were on the cruise that got shortened to 6 days so they were offering a 20% discount and a $200.00 onboard credit for booking again onboard. We were in the "thinking-about-it" stage for Alaska, but the onboard deal pushed me to the "OK, I'll do it" stage. Not sure who will actually go by the time this one rolls around, but for now it looks like me, DH and our 2 DDs who will be 19 and 21 (yikes!) This will be our 6th DCL cruise.

I love the planning of a trip almost as much as the trip, so I'm happy to have so long to plan for this different kind of adventure!

i just typed a long post and it poofed.. just left and didnt say where it was going and disappesared.. poof..

i hate windows 7 .. this never happened before i upgraded.. grrr

anyway, i was suggesting fopr dinner we could think about a young adults table to put the college aged and beyond and a " real" or paying adults table.. ie the parents or such..last time i took the kids on a cruise it was a requirement that they eat dinner with us.. so they ordered, ate and left.. leaving DH and I at a big table for 4 ..so we decided that next time we would either sit at a bigger table or...

It seems that you have way too much time on your hands or know a program/app that will get you this info quickly.
But when you say only 74 weekends that doesn't sound so bad, the rest do sound like a lot tho.
