Welcome to the Dis fairyG! You will find so many tips on here to make your first trip memorable! I know I am looking forward to using advice from here on our first cruise too.
In the
DCL forum, there is a cruise meets thread. It will list all the dates of the cruises and people can get to know each other before the cruise. It's pretty cool, and there are so many nice people there.
I think there is also a sticky up at the top of this forum that's called "Who is going when you are". But I think that is just a listing, and not actual posts from people.
Hope you have a great time!
