You'll like the shower.

We also got deck 8 (upgrade from a getaway-level balcony, but we got perks). It sounds like you approve?

With a 17 year old daughter and myself, I sort of feel like the upgraded bathroom is a big bonus.

We did 100, was soooo hoping my sister would get one instead!! We are sailing that day as well!! Found out yesterday..

I found out this morning that we got the upgrade, too. I wonder if this ship isn't sold out. I hope I didn't waste $150 (and if we meet, don't tell my husband I upped our bid from our agreed-to $50 to $75, LOL!!)

thanks guys.. Didnt think the I would get the upgrade I bid on, but I did....Now regretting it..

May I ask your bid? I have one out for the 6/3 sailing ... balcony --> mini suite. I knew the only difference is the bathroom but with me, my daughter and my husband, I thought it might come in handy. I have $75 out there waiting for a bite ... I'm good with not winning but curious what might win. It's my graduation cruise :bottle-pop: so I thought I'd spend a little grad money for the extra sink, LOL.

I was at the Dollar Tree the other day for cruise items and found a great first aid kit. It is a flat plastic box with your usual bandaids, alcohol wipes, etc. They also had advil and zantac in carry-packs - I think 2 in each box, so .50/each. You could add those to the first aid kits. I thought the presentation of the kits, with the very flat box, was great. Very efficient and not too bulky. (I'm a new grad nurse, so I love first aid kits, LOL)

You reminded me to pack safety pins!! I forget those every time, and they are NOT easily found on a cruise ship!

Danni - what are light key cards and deck locator cards?
