Thanks for the help! We are actually driving into southern CA the day before we leave and staying with my in-laws for the night. We'll be driving to the Port Sunday morning. How early do you recommend getting to the dock for boarding? How do cruises check in luggage? Should we be concerned about keeping a "carry-on bag" with us or should we simply "check" all of our bags in? Thanks! Erica

We are leaving out of LA on 12/3 and returning 12/10. There are 8 of us traveling together (4 cabins total) on Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas. My husband and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary a little early and decided that a cruise would be more fun with a big group so we invited ALL of our friends and family. We had 6 people sign up with us (timing was a challenge for anyone who's a teacher/student!) so we are traveling our friend Angela, her parents, our friends Ben & Brett (also celebrating their 5th anniversary) and our friend/cabin-mate Chris. It should be a lot of fun! I've been reading suggestions for packing, tips for traveling on a cruise and trying to find out the stuff about the ship that you can't find on the website. If you've any information or know where to search, I'd love to hear it! Erica

Hey fellow cruisers... Anyone traveling on Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas on 12/3 to Mexico with me? Anyone got info/advice for this trip/cruise line? Erica
