Do you know how to set up a group mixology? Like who to contact? That would be fun!

Not a clue. Haha. What good am I, right?

My coworker today just asked how many days left. 30 days this month and we fly down on the 21st!

Hello Guys, 50 days and counting! I have a rookie cruiser question for the group. My wife and I were talking about packing options (yes, we're that excited that we're already talking about packing) and she brought up a good question I couldn't answer. Should we pack towels? I know there will be towels in the cabin for bathing and towels at the pool for swimming, but what about shore excursions? If I'm planning a trip to swim with dolphins or go snorkeling, can I take towels with me from the ship, or do I need to bring my own beach towels? I know it may sound like a silly question, but packing towels for 5 can take up a lot of space. Thanks in advanced for your Jedi Master-like wisdom.

By the way, did I mention.....50 Days!

We took 2 beach towels on the last trip just because we like the bigger towels. We also drive so we also tend to overpack

You are given the ship's towels when you get off the ship for the excursions. They are not gigantic... but on the plus side? You dump them in a basket before you get back on the ship, so they manage the dirty sandy towels and you don't have to haul it to your room!

In 7 weeks, we'll be on our first sea day!

Welcome Nick or Sean - whichever of you is posting.

We did a GTY last time as well and ended up with an aft balcony handcap room, as well. That balcony. Sigh. It was wonderful. (We have an aft balcony again but of the pick-your-room variety!)

+++

I tried on my "pirate" gear last night. I need to take part of it to my mom, throw myself on her mercy, and see if she'll hem it for me. I'm a shorty and it's pretty long. My husband says it's fine but I vaguely feel like a little girl wearing a grown up's clothing.

Sorry Nick talking here.. Sean doesn't know how to use the message boards. haha.. but it was nice to surprise a 33 year old with a cruise! Pretty sure he was more excited than some kids on the ship!

Anyone planning to run the Castaway Cay 5K?? It's a fun way to see the island and start the day! Did it last time and had a good time even with the hangover I had.

Fist off Welcome to all our new people!

Once again I need to apologize to everyone for not getting back to people sooner. Between work, Christmas and the cruise I'm busier then I thought I would be. I even had a dream last weekend that it was an hour before we had to leave for the cruise and I hadn't packed yet. I don't normally start having packing dreams until the week before the trip. Anyway the good news is that I have pulled together everyone's info for the Pixie Dust list. I don't have most people's cabin numbers yet so when you get them let me know and I'll update the list. Also if I missed anyone or anyone wants to be added let me know and I'll do it as fast as I can.

Here is the list so far.

Hello Gang! Only 45 days to go, I can't wait! I was blessed with a bit of Pixie Dust today and I need some feedback from our veteran cruisers. My family of 5 was on the wait list for a Concierge stateroom and I got a call from DCL today letting me know one was available. I have until the end of today to decide if I want it. Currently, we're in a Cat 4a room on deck 9 and this would be an "upgrade" to a Cat V room on deck 11. My original interest in a Concierge room was for the perk of being able to book reservations 120 days out, instead of the normal 75. Since that perk is no longer applicable, I'm wondering if the upgrade cost difference is worth it. So, my question is to all of you veteran cruisers out there. Have any of you sailed in a Concierge room and was it worth it (minus the 120 day booking perk)? I'm actually OK with the fare difference if there is significant value there. Anyone's comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
