We had a cat. 11 inside room for our 6/02 cruise. We LOVED it because it WAS dark! You could go lay down at 3:00 in the afternoon, and think it was midnight!
We are on your cruise! DH and I have been married 16 years. We are taking our DS11 and DD8.
My one suggestion is to buy a cheap over the door shoe holder at Wal-mart. The bathroom is SO tiny, there is no way that you have room for all the toiletries. Well worth the $5.00! It can hold brushes, suntan lotion, contact lens junk, toothbrushes, shaving stuff..........you get the point.
Welcome aboard! BeanoC has a thread about the 10/18/03 cruise too!
