Ok, sorry. I misspoke. We leave for Europe Next week on the 9th (Friday)  and then get on the ship the 13th the next Tuesday. 

We are doing our first Transatlantic Cruise next week, and I am wondering about the weather along the way.  Wondering if anyone has done this route before and how long it takes to get to "warmer" weather?  Thanks for any advice!!

I have 4 passports to get. Expedited will cost an extra 60pp. I've always just used BC and ID, but taking the kids this year, I feel like its time to get passports....and I've waited till the very last min.

 

 

 

Has anyone gotten a new passport lately and how long did it take to receive it? I have 38 days till the cruise. I know I probably just need to cough up the extra money to get it here faster. :cool: I hate being a procrastinator sometimes..

Just make sure that you have the "correct" birth certificate!! My children had passports, but those expired, so when my daughter went to get hers now that she is 18, they told her that the birth certificate wasn't the correct one. She didn't have the long form BC, so because she was in college, I had to go pick one up.. That delayed the process, but from beginning to end even with the delay.. It was about 3-4 weeks!!

Our first cruise was on the Conquest, and we felt it was crowded.. But then we went on the Dream, and even though it was a larger ship with more guests, it didn't seem as crowded... We just got off the Breeze, even bigger and more.. Everything was so spread out, it was not crowded AT ALL!!!!
