Your pictures are gorgeous, btw! I'm still not sure what to do about the photography. I'm a picture fanatic so I was thinking about adding on a pkg. I definitely need more than just a few photos! I heard they are expensive to buy them all individually. Wondering which pkg is best?
Oh, and what did the keepsake box look like??
Did they let you board earlier than everyone else with your dress/extra baggage?
I'm nervous about dining at Palo b/c I don't want to mess up our dining rotation. It's only a 4day cruise and I want to make sure to visit each of the 3restaurants. Shanda has assured me that DCL will work around that but after all the negativity I've read, I'm nervous. Can you honestly blame me?!? lol
I have no idea about music yet! I also have long hair. Maybe I'll luck out and get Amanda?!? Do I have to book that appt before we sail?
Any thoughts/advice/words of wisdom?? Things you'd do differently? Things to expect?
Ugh, so sorry. I'm rambling and it's 2am.
Thanks, in advance, for tolerating my lunacy.....

I went back and read your previous posts, since it's been a few months.
Crazy how similar things were!
I also had Amanda for hair and I liked her very much! Grace was our photographer and Sarah was our onboard coordinator. Both very nice! I too wanted an outdoor ceremony and was disappointed that they never found a spot for it. Outlook was ok, but very small. Luckily we didn't have any guests, just DH, myself, and 2 DS's. We added "blessing of the hands" vows to the reg DCL script. I thought that helped quite a bit. Our boys were ring bearers so that made the ceremony feel more special and personal. Wasn't impressed with captain Tom. He seemed very rushed and not very friendly. Grace took over 200 photos and I was pleased with the shots she got. We ended up buying the cd with our pkg b/c we couldn't decide.
All in all, a lovely experience. Just not sure it was worth ALL of the money involved. Might have been more "worth" it if some of our family had been able to join us.
I posted many pics on my VR PJ, if anyone is curious about different ideas for their upcoming special day. Just follow the link in my signature.
I loved the one with you and DH next to the funnels so I made sure to do that! I love getting ideas from other trip journals.
