January 3, 2008 3 Night Wonder

[global_mom]

I have done the online checkin and have our signed papers ready to bring with us.

I have also done the paperwork for the 5 of us scared1: ). Have our passports in a little bag that I am already carrying in my purse, am scared to death that I will forget to take them with us!

Trying to get an idea of the timeline for the doc arrival b/c I need to make sure that i get to them before the kids can see them. It seems that for our last cruise, the docs arrived about 2 weeks in advance. But, we had only booked the cruise 3 weeks in advance so I was not sure if they typically would arrive sooner than that.

Cant wait! Wish that I had a crystal ball to see the weather forecast!

Just signed up DW for the stones spa treatment. Has anyone done this before? Wanted the well being spa treatment, but all were booked both on the ship and at CC.

I haven't personally done it, but I have read very positive recommendations for that treatment.

At least ya'll get real snow. We are sitting here in Georgia watching drizzly, yucky, messy rain. We haven't seen snow in years! Well we can dream about warm temps and ocean breezes on Castaway Cay!!

If I had some way to keep it frozen, I'd pack some snow in my suitcase just for you.

So wish that was possible!

What kind of documents are we supposed to get?

I, my daughter and two grandkids are going. I just realized it is only about 2 1/2 weeks away. This past two weeks has been a nightmare at my house--was doing a remodeling project....which revealed termites and now two rooms have been gutted.

It is real hard for me to get excited about my first cruise right now, but it was too late to cancel (used points) and I will probably really need a break in another two weeks.

Any help on what I need to gather will be appreciated.

So sorry to hear about your house. Hopefully you can get rid of the nasty varments and get your home back in top shape. Sounds like a cruise will do you some good. Not sure about the cruise docs as this is our first cruise, but I do remember reading somewhere that we will be sent something right before we leave. Just watch your mailbox, I know I am.And welcome to our small but enthusiastic group of cruisers

I'm sorry but the pony express went out with the dinosaurs here in Indiana. We are now using carrier pigeons

 

[simzac]

Still no docs by the way

 

[simzac]

Our docs finally arrived this evening. Not much to them, but I wasn't sure what to expect anyway. I do have one question though. We are arriving at the port in our rental car. Should we put the bag tags which came with the docs on our bags to help direct them to the correct state rooms? Oh, and by the way, tomorrow we are at the 2 week mark til we sail. I can almost hear the ocean all the way up here in Indiana. Merry Christmas fellow cruisers. Hopefully santa will bring you all something very special you can use for the cruise.

 

[global_mom]

We got our docs too! Yea! Are you speaking of the luggage tags? Those need to go on everything that you want taken to your stateroom.

Cant wait!!

Thanks mom, I figured as much, but wanted to make sure.

Still a little early, but yes, I'm checking weather for our departure day from Indy going to HHI. 10 days out from our cruise date I will post daily forecasts up until we leave home on the 30th.
