ONLY 22 DAYS REMAIN...........

until our cruise on OASIS OF THE SEAS. ( Not a MIXED NUTZ cruise event)

All of our pre cruise stuff is done. We have completed the set sail pass........ received our luggage tags........ made dining reservations and reservations for the shows. That part is new. Now you start planning ahead 90 days for shows you want to see. To me, this is getting a bit crazy because it is taking away from the "spirit" of cruising , which was having many choices of venues to pick from at any one time. I personally like to be able to have the choice although I am a creature of habit and do see all the shows onboard anyway. But I like to have the choice. Now it's a plan ahead deal or..... show up and wait for standby seating. Of course with that you are either lucky or un-lucky and likely getting the worst seats in the house.

I will be spending my time checking out the ship so our April 29, 2012 cruise event for the MIXED NUT will be as smooth as possible. I'll be able to pick out meeting places... finding out which areas get overcrowded ( if any) .....etc.

Small detail from the Princess Cruise in June. As I have said before, the Caribbean Princess was a wonderful ship and was staffed with an abundance of helpful crew members. Service was outstanding on our June 4, 2011 cruise.

Posting will be more frequent now that the weather is chasing me indoors.
