FloridaCruisinNewbies Posted March 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well, actually it is the day before the day before the day before my cruise. I leave in Monday! But, if you count the day to pack(Saturday); and the drive to Jacksonville (Sunday); and the fact my parents arrive today (Friday) and they are the ones watching our kids while me and the DW are gone.....THEN, really my cruise day has arrived!! We are so excited and can't believe we will be leaving for JAX in 2 short days!! Thank you to all the Cruise Critic family who have offered much advice! Even when my questions seemed dumb, idiotic, mundane, or were repeats of other people's posts..... you were there in my time of need. I feel a whole lot more prepared for our cruise thanks to all your hints, tips, and suggestions!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excitment never goes away... Enjoy, relax, walk the ship, take in the sites, people watch, make sure you have the chocolate melting cake :) and just have a great time... When you get back, you'll have the "I have to book my next one" on your mind!!! And yes, no matter whether a newbie or a repeater, you can always learn something from someone on Cruise Critic...

SacredHeart Posted March 27, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Don't fret... I've been counting down since 264 days!!!:eek: It was 112 days when I first booked and the first week after booking nearly killed me! lol I can't imagine 264 days! I think I will have to become one of those last-minute travelers, just to keep my blood pressure under control. The anticipation is torture! lol Take lots of pics to show us when you get back!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
