I forgot to mention (and this is corny) how special I feel when they ithe crew greets us at the entrance to the ship and directs to the entire ship (via the PA system) to "Welcome aboard Mr. & Mrs. Callahan from Orlando, FL" . I feel like a movie star on the red carpet.

It's 5:00 and we're standing on our aft balcony, champagne in hand, and the sea breeze is blowing through our hair. As we hear the ship's horn blast out "when you wish upon a star", we see a dolphin emerge from starboard. Happens every time!

Although we loved our NCL cruise last year (complete with an upgrade to suite), it just wasn't the same - no catchy tune and no dolphins.

I would add

* Getting a Tattoo - can't put sunlight on it or get it wet until it heals

I learned that lesson the HARD WAY :eek: Got it to show off on my 1st Windjammer Cruise in '92. The salt water and sand infected it. OUCH!

Well said! Have fun on your cruise and do what YOU feel is safe and what YOU want to do :) DD
