Welcome Aboard!
Welcome Aboard!
Since no one has started a cruise meet thread since the new itinerary came out yesterday, I think I will start it. We are so excited!
If you'll be joining us on this cruise, please check in and let us know who you are!
Our DS's will be 7 & 5 at the time of the cruise, so technically, I won't be "Hudson5&Lennon3" anymore. I will unofficially be Hudson7&Lennon5.
