I know, I know, Joey! :smiley: Isn't it amazing how one time a ship and crew can be shipshape and another crew and same ship can be not shipshape?!

That is what amazes me.. you can read reviews with any slant you want from the same vessel and sometimes the same sailing :grin:

[PrincessOne]

Stephanie...also Joey had the problems with HAL...not Princess...LOL!

You can leave the kids home....

[cruisefreak]

My daughter is barely speaking to me as it is! If I tell her that I am planning another cruise and planning to leave them home....I will be "mud"! However, home is a great place for her to be her freshman year of high school!

[PrincessOne]

Just don't tell her about it....geesh, she has an awesome school trip this April....she can't complain!

[cruisefreak]

No- she can't complain...I do want to get through this cruise so I can convince my DH that this is the life for him :grin: . Hopefully this works out ! Sara...can stay home lol

I am thinking of some shirts...I would like polos instead of tshirts...but if we get tshirts, we can do front and back...a design on the front with something like...

"Stars" of the Sea...

with a picture....and on the back the itinerary.

Then we have to convince the rest of our group to wear them for embarkation, lol!!!

Good, at least one reply. I was really anxious to hear from someone, anyone. Thanks PrincessOne. Here's the dilemma: I have to renew my passport. I can mail it in myself and it's all set to go BUT they said 8 weeks turn around time. Is this taking too big of a chance? Has anyone had to do this recently? Should I pay the extra $60 and put a rush on it? We have to post our immigration info how far in advance of sailing? BigRed is worried!

[PrincessOne]

The government apparantly changed their minds again that we don't need them. Yes, they say 8 weeks...I got mine in 2, I was shocked!

I still recommend getting it, just in case. Better to have and not need than to need it and not have it.

Princess has e-docs now...you have plenty of time to input your information.

Good Luck "BigRed"?

There's an idea- t-shirts...Steve may or may not wear them :rolleyes: Who knows? What about hats? I don't usually wear hats, but they do come in handy while riding a catamaran out to sting rays or snorkeling areas...or grading papers while watching my son play baseball. Would people prefer hats or shirts?

Big Red- what a dilemma! I think I'd just send it in- the government has taken off the requirement, but maybe check with Princess to see what they are requiring might be a good idea.

Have a great day!

STephanie :wink:
