You've been waiting much longer than I have, and it feels like forever. I just finished telling Cindy that I'm quite ready to go today.

Me too! this has been such a long wait but I'm sure it will be so worth it. I'm also anxious to see the shore excursions posted - just checked and still nothing. We still have a couple of ports where we have no plans.

We have a couple of questions. We have never used the ships laundry. Ha anyone used it and noticed thinks shrinking from their dryer? I'm sure that I will see things shrinking as the cruise goes on as it is (good food :biggrin: ). For 13 days, we will have to get something washed.

Also, Cindy wanted to know what the women are doing for 3 formal days. Are you bringing 3 different dresses, or are you going to wear on e more than once? She keeps vacillating on this herself.

Howard we use the ships laundry.. and no we haven't notice any shrinkage..

I didn't think we had much choice about using the ship's laundry due to the length of this cruise. There's no way to bring enough clothes to last without washing/laundering some. I had planned on sending some things for sure. I'm glad we will be able to get away with shorts and short sleeve shirts each day. I can't get away with less than 3 bags for a 7 day cruise and I'm just not going to add a 4th. The prices are less than the laundry I use here at home.

LOL - I remember the first 7 day cruise that Louise and I did out of Tampa, Florida. We drove down for a September Caribbean cruise and we had 6 suitcases of varying sizes. Man - Did we learn more about packing and dressing for cruises after that. It's even more restrictive when you have to fly.

For Formal night - I'm sure that Louise is going to have a pair of dress black pants and 3 different dressy tops. I know she is not going to fool with formal dresses.

I know I'm planning on using the ship's laundry at least once. As far as the 3 formal nights - I think I'm going to have 3 different gowns and/or cocktail dresses. I've got 2 now and been looking for a third.

I'm one of those that has something in mind and won't settle for anything else. That's why I'm starting to look now. Hopefully it'll give me enough time.
