meemeec Posted October 26, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Your first good move was signing onto this board! You'll get lots of up-to-date information and if you haven't yet....find the roll-call for your cruise. You will be able to trade information with others on your sailing. Port Everglades should be back up in a couple of days. Itinerary changes happen for all sorts of reasons but not as often as you would think. Wherever you go you'll be having a great time! As far as the weather is concerned don't worry about it!! It's something no one can control but the ships will steer clear of any big problems. Relax, enjoy and happy honeymoon!!!!

cruznliz Posted October 26, 2005 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2005 For one thing, it's 10 days from now! I'd worry about the wedding at this point and wait at least a week before worrying about the cruise. 1. Port Everglades will probably be open by then, and if not, you will probably leave out of the Port of Miami which is no big deal. :) 2. If the itinerary changes, who cares!! It will be your first big adventure as a married couple! Something to tell your family about! ;) 3. We never get sea sick so to us, the rougher the better. Lots of fun! If you had wanted a non-rocky vacation you could have gone to a hotel! :eek: Just in case though, buy a pack of Bonine at Wal Mart for any possible seasickness. ;) (Also, if there aren't any new storms in the area, it will probably be very smooth. Significant rocking and rolling is fairly rare!) Have a great wedding and a great honeymoon!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you this - You will have a wonderful time and probably be hooked on cruising like most of us are. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and have a great honeymoon cruise.

SamTL6 Posted October 27, 2005 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi all! My boyfriend and I are going to be on the Star Princess Nov. 6th as well, it is going to be our first time on a cruise as well. I am so excited. I have already gotten loads of tips from all of you veteran cruisers already on this forum (thanks to all by the way):) but I was curious about those "sea bands" that I have heard about for sea sickness. Do they work? Any other pre-cruise tips out there to help us first-timers out? Thanks! Samantha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
