Ok, all, I need opinions (and I promise not to flame back if your differs from mine 
). DH is graduating from college December 16 (WHOOO!!), and we had always talked about doing a 7 night Disney cruise after he graduated. (We've done two 4-night cruises and LOVED them on DCL.) The problem is two-fold...he doesn't have much vacation time, and we're probably going to move in Feb/March to Orlando if we can get jobs. So, we thought a cruise would be out for at least a year, since you can't exactly take that much time off if you're starting a new job. The other part of this situation is that DH gets 2 weeks off of work at Christmas because they close his plant down to do special cleaning (he works at a plant that makes pharmaceuticals (spelling??)).
Anyway, we got to talking, and I went out and priced the DCL 7-night New Years cruise, which for a cat-12 stateroom (the cheapest) would be just over $3000. Yes, this is expensive for a cruise, even a DCL (for comparison, we could do the same cruise at the end of Jan. for $1000 less). But, we have the room (just barely) on a credit card to do it. DH thinks its worth the extra cost because its a holiday and he wouldn't have to hassle with time off from his work, plus it'll definately be the last big thing we get to do for a while since we're job hunting.
So, should we??? I'm worried because I hate charging that much, since I know it will adversely affect my credit rating (trust me on that one), and I know that some companies use the credit rating when making hiring decisions. But, I REALLY want to go!
What do y'all think?

if you have it do it! that's my theory!! you don't want to be sitting at home on New Years and think...hey we couldve been on a cruise!!!
) For me, I personally HATE charging anything to a credit card. In fact my last trip was paid for in cash. The whole thing. (minus the room charges which were under $200.00) What about a compromise? Instead of going for 7 days you go for 4. It would cost less but you would still get that family time in. Graduating college is a big deal so it is definately worth celebrating!
brrr... looks like the kiddies will be trick or treating at the mall!! i just want them in their costumes again!!! 
so we decide to walk along to find a better spot and of course "wishes"was already in progress. I did get to see Tinkerbell fly over and that's what I really wanted anyway. We end up stopping on a walkway almost to the hub from tomorrowland. Then I hear this annoying voice from this morning and she was pusing a stroller yelling" excuse me, excuse me I will run over your toes" We turn around and she is just pushing her way through the crowd like she's the only one there. All we could do was laugh. maybe they were having a bad day or week but you think at Disney you could at least try to be courteous. I know that was off the topic but that was my little annoyance. 
I just tell them and my god does it ever feel good. Besides, they do not care (so why should I about them). Especially when I see somebody being rude to a CM or somebody in a restaurant, I just tell them (I use words that make them think). But the feeling I have when I tell them what I think is so relieving
