Hi Sonya and welcome to the DIS! I know it seems hard at first to comment and participate on threads, but if you search through the topics I am sure that you will find other threads to either comment on or to ask questions.
Are you currently booked on a cruise? If so, look for your sailing date on the cruise meets forum. You can introduce yourself there to people who will be sailing with you and you will have 10 posts in no time

I tried to post a link to the cruise meets forum, I hope it worked.
