Maybe they won't assign our rooms - they will just give us a list and then release us at one time to run and grab whichever one we can get - sort of like the land rush in the West 100+ years ago. Whoever gets there first gets the room.
...One nice thing is that the rooms pretty much all look alike (except for the 3 types of Concierge suites). There are only 2 furniture layouts, all the furniture and linens are the same; then there's the difference of a window or verandah (or neither) and single or split bathrooms. And they are all the same size.
Now I have an Oceanview Guaranteed, so I know my bed with be nearer the door than the window and I will be looking at the side of the bed (not the foot or the sitting area) when I walk in. The sofa will be perpendicular to the window. This cabin type also has a split bathroom, so I'll have 2 sinks for me! I guess I'll put all my toothbrush and makeup in the one without the toilet.
Have you decided if you and Paul are having the main bed split into two twins or letting him sleep on the back of the sofa (it folds down into a single bed). When you meet your stateroom host, let him know which is your preference (if it's not already set up the way you want it).
Not the eating at posh restaurants and things like that, just the pleasure of eating anything as and when I want!!
Of course on a cruise you can eat the whole day long too.
). For example, she used to wrap up left-over household items as Christmas gifts, so that people would have more to unwrap (along with a couple of nice gifts). I'm talking things like unused medical equipment after a hospitalization (bedpans, etc.), lightbulbs, ancient knick-knacks. When Larry was in high school and wanted an archery set, he received a child's set, suitable for a 5 yr. old. 
She always treated her family like they were second to friends/co-workers, whom she was always helping with favors and money (substantial amounts over the years). I won't even get into the BIL/SIL; let's just say Larry is the "good one," which is why we now handle her finances and medical issues. I will say, now that she has dementia and forgets to complain about the same things over and over, it's not so bad 
. After all the MIL comments on #5, Larry said he was surprised I hadn't posted...I told him I was now in my "happy place" and thankfully other MILs were worse than mine! 
. I'll spare you all the details. Of course, he can't complain about his MIL; she'll be on this trip!
I'M SO EXCITED... ITS A REAL TRIP NOW!
Happy Wednesday to everyone! Counting today...only 18 more days til wining & dining comes our way (and of course, riverdancing/"dis"co. dancing!)!
