Hi, I can't answer your quesiton but I am sure someone can. We are sailing on Jan. 23, and will be flying into Ft. Lauderdale on the 21st. We will have a rental car for a day, so I plan to make my liquor store run then. Hope you have a wonderful cruise...

Jim, hope you and the Mrs. have a fabulous cruise....wishing you blue skies and still waters.

A new Cruise Review is now available: Ship Name: Constellation Sailing date: 11/9/09 Author: rogue View Review

We are booked on the Miracle in about 11 weeks so guess it doesn't affect us either....

Thanks guys....I am ready to go - well, just mentally, not physcially. Still have to drop the dogs off tomorrow, take the car to be washed, detailed and filled with gas, go to the bank, go by my son's job and pick up something from him and then come home and get the car loaded so we can head out the door as soon as Greg gets home and changes out of his dress clothes. But getting all that done, means I am closer to leaving, so I will do it gladly!!! Jessica was up this afternoon....it is so much fun to watch her, she really is beside herself with excitement. In fact, I would call her down right giddy and she hasn't even laid eyes on nor set foot on the ship yet.

Tom, hope you have a fabulus cruise. Enjoy it as you will probably come back to winter in Colorado!!!

Just a few more days now, Ed.

Dolphin, hope you have a great cruise.....bon voyage.

Zosha, hope you have a great cruise....Bon Voyage.

Jeannep, hope you have a great cruise....bon voyage.

Wishing you guys a wonderful, romantic cruise.

Mike, wishing you and Martha a wonderful cruise. Hope you see lots of beautiful foliage.

Larry, wishing you the best cruise yet. Hope you have a marvelous time...

Kevin, we do "duck out" when we can, but since this is Jessica's first cruise, we will all be attending.

http://johnhealdsblog.com/2009/09/29/a-web-of-fear/ I provided the link to John Heald's blog that addressed this, but am also copying the part that I was referring to so you don't have to wade thru the whole blog: Time for today’s news and it is news about the life boat drill. Well, actually it’s not called that anymore because starting next week the fleet will be calling guests to the Safety Briefing. There are some wording differences in the announcement the cruise directors make which will also include not just information on the abandon ship procedures but also other ways to keep our guests safe such as accident prevention. The other major change this coming month across the fleet is that guests will no longer need to wear their life jackets or take them to the muster stations. You will still be shown the correct and proper way to wear them but there is no longer any need to go to the cabins to collect them anymore. I will let you know how this is received next cruise.
