Tammy, the tshirts we are using are white. There are different types of iron on transfers out there. We are finding that if you do the transfer that you have to print in reverse, it looks better. The other seems to make it look like a patch of sorts. I used the iron on transfer to make my FE bags, and the background of the picture is the same color as the bag.

Nothing has been mentioned of a scavenger hunt. Sounds like fun though. If you would care to plan it, I am sure others would enjoy it! If you don't have time, that's okay too!

If you are staying at the Radisson, you should walk over to Country Inns and Suites for the pool party Friday night! There are going to be a TON of folks there and I am SURE they would want to meet you! The other pool party is going to be at Saratoga Springs and the other party is at MK for MNSSHP. There are several families doing that too! ALSO, Allen is getting a group together for dinner Friday night at Grills. Contact him if your family would like to eat there too.

I am not sure about the dinner arrangements. Maybe a quick call or email to Carol would help. Otherwise, you should head to guest services after boarding to see about getting it switched. If you can't, we'll see you in the dining room!

Michelle, congrats on the big number!!!

Allen, my condolences in you missing the big number

What do you guys do when you first board, you go straight up to eat and then to the pool? Do you explore the boat? Do you know when I can make an appt. at the salon? Do you unpack before the drill if your stuff is there? Sorry for so many questions, but we are getting so close, and this is our first time and we are clueless.

This is our fifth cruise. We go straight to Topsiders. We tried Parrot Cay once, but I like sitting outside better (unless it's really breezy, then we might stay in). Once we finish eating, we go to our room and settle in and unpack. With a whole week ahead of us, we like getting that out of the way first. Don't need to do much exploring because I think I can walk the ship in my head by now, although I am looking forward to seeing some of the changes. We were on the Wonder after it came out of drydock two years ago and one of the areas I never checked out, partially because we were on a shorter cruise and partially because the DIS group was so much fun to hang out with, was the Cove Cafe. I won't make that mistake this trip.

Edited to add: After reading Red's response, I realized I didn't really give the response that was helpful. We're experienced cruisers, but for first timers - if I were to remember what I did the first time on the ship (and remember all you first time cruisers - it is a ship, not a boat) We actually went to our room first (in the early days, they didn't rope of the corridors) and dropped our carry on stuff. Then I ran up to Palo to make a reservation. I remember actually being able to choose the table I wanted. Then we went and ate. After lunch we explored the ship. It took me a few cruises before I learned the trick of checking the hallway carpets to know which direction to head each time we set out.

Hey!! COOL!! Now you KNOW I wasn't trying for that! After a lengthy post like that, there's no way I would have been able to get it had I tried!

Alrighty then, I need to get my hindend in gear. Here it is almost lunch time and I am still in my jammies having just ate breakfast. Nothing will get done today at this rate!!!!

See you all later!!!!

Too funny!!! Thanks you guys for making me feel better!!! Anyone else use them?

We go right to Topsiders. I go grab a table for all of us while they go in line for food. Then, we go back any changes we have to to dinner reservations or Palo if needed. I also go to the spa to make any reservations I couldn't online. It's a lot less busy then and they still have times I want. The last time we were on the Wonder I actually had a spa ressie at 1 p. So, it was a nice surprise going back to the room and DH and already unpacked everything. Then I go to the room and we have been lucky, our luggage is there. I like to unpack completely if I can before the drill. This time, I may have my DH or my mom stay with the kids at the pool so I can unpack in some peace and quiet. After the drill we head to the Sail Away.

Michelle, I see nothing wrong in still being in PJ's at 11:30am. Get it in gear, at least we've had breakfast. Come over here, I'll make you some Spam and french toast or Spam and eggs.

Allen...can't comment on you blowing your chance at 1000. Oh wait, I just did LOL
