Good for you, Princess Vija! That's a great trip to look forward to. I really want to do a cruise, too, but right now it has to be on the back burner till we get moved to FL.
Vija, I agree with Amy, Amelia and Katholyn (the experienced DCLers)...you will LOVE the cruise. We have done the 7 day eastern on DCL and it was the best cruise we have ever taken! We are torn between doing the 7 day Western on DCL next winter, or doing a 10 day on RCCL. I promise you, the flight will be worth it!
