Since the sail date is kind of hectic, I proposed meeting at lunchtime (12:30) in the buffet area. I will have a Cruise Critic sign of some form or other to identify myself. Others are on board with this effort. Thanks for asking.
I don't know if you considered doing a one-way car rental to and from the cruise. Avis and Enterprise have places that are walking distance from the terminal. (three blocks). I drop my wife and luggage off at the pier then drop the car and walk back.
Carol, I collected 25 or more names for a past cruise. No meet & greet materialized during that trip, although I did meet one of the travelers on board. I would suggest the second day during lunch. The first day is usually pretty hectic. If interested, please respond and we can start the process.
