Umm, the link hasn't worked for me from the time I received the email, 8/4, to now 5:07 p.m. cdt. I looked at the beginning of this thread and the posts are from August, 2007? I'm I going crazy....don't answer that :)

I haven't taken anything except a magazine or two in the past, but I will be taking a book on my next one since this will be the first time we have a balcony.

I prefer paper docs to the edocs, but whatever gets me on the ship will be fine with me :) I prefer the paper docs over the edocs because I like to save some of the luggage tags and the booklet the docs are in as souvenirs. If you are a scrapbooker, the real deal is a must.

Did you book flight and cruise together through the named travel agent for this cruise? I went to AA.com and Delta.com and they aren't taking reservations past May 2009. I'm now interested in seeing what the fares are. Maybe......I can wing something to go :)

Yes, Dfw is the hub for American Airlines, but that doesn't mean very much these days :)

Nevermind, I've found it :)

I'm looking for the dates of this cruise, I see when the final payment is due, but I want to check the airline flights for the day before the cruise begins.

so do we..... are you sure there is NO WAY?! The problem would definitely be the airfare..the cruise I could see my head around. That's way I love to go on cruises out of Galveston eventhough there's not much variety.

I wish I could really, but the expense of airlines tickets, especially coming out of DFW is too discouraging :(

This looks like it's going to be so much fun! I wish I could join y'all.

Thanks, I think I will arrange for her to be at an activity during that time.

This is a book written by a former employee of Carnival Cruise Lines, Micha Berman. Has anyone read it? What were your impressions? Would you read it? Has anyone heard of this person?

The Travel Channel has a new program with Samantha Brown called, Weekend Getaways and she's going to be on Carnival's Inspiration for a 4 day cruise to Cozumel. The show airs Thursday, June 19 at 10 pm Eastern time. I'm setting my dvr tonight, because I will forget otherwise :) There's also a dvd on the carnival website http://www.carnival.com/cms/fun/samantha_b...8SliderSamBrown if you sign up. I think they are only giving them away to new signups :(. I tried to get one, but it kept sending me back to the signup page and I was already logged in!! If anyone can manage to get one sent to you, please let me know how you did it!

I was wondering if this was strictly an adult event. I have a 10 year old (will be 11 at sailing time). I would think with $30 a person it's all adult. I know my daughter isn't going to eat enough to justify the cost, but I was just wondering if children could attend?

I'm partial to the Port of Galveston because of it's close proximity and this eliminates airlines.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I will definitely be around :)
