when i did a little bit of research this summer, you can't sign on embarkation day. signups start the next day. and apparently not until 7 or 8am. i heard the line starts pretty early since the space is limited. i also read that it is located aft of the ship on the 3rd or 4th floor outside the aft elevators. if anyone has newer information i am all ears. i love cruising and i love crafting. so, it goes without saying... i am over the moon to craft on a cruise ship. i still have my pen holder, my bookmark, my flip flops, my sunvisor, and a friendship bracelet.
