Too bad you aren't going on the 9-11-10 cruise...I'm from Clayton too and it would be neat to sail with someone so close to home! If you are like me you will find that any day on a cruise is better than a day at home ;) I have sailed in February and it was fine, but it can be a little chilly leaving.

 

Hope that you enjoy your cruise. Think you will find it very relaxing and addicting!

Glad to see someone from Clayton will be sailing also. This will be our first cruise and getting excited as very day goes by.

Question...Are you going to drive on the day of your cruise or are you going to Charleston the day before. Hubby would like to drive the day before and we are still debating the idea. If you are going to day before were are you going to stay?

I just found this thread…

We are sailing Fantasy from Charleston January 12, 2011. This will be our (hubby and I) first cruise and I have been lucking around CC for about a month and this is my first post. :)

My only concern is… did we pick the wrong time of year to cruise? We picked January because the price was right and kids should be back in school.

We booked a Grand Suite and looking at the pictures I think we choose the right room for us. We really are not touristy people and just like to hang out and enjoy each other. No we are not newlyweds; we have been married for 6 years, but our vacations have always been quiet. So we are branching out with trying a cruise.

I can’t wait for some of your reviews to come back, especially the ones leaving from Charleston. We live in North Carolina, so the drive for us is only 4 hours. We are planning to drive down the night before and staying at the Hampton Inn, Hubby is not a early riser, if we were going to drive down the day of the cruise we would have to leave about 6:00 am and hubby was like “no way”:(

Anyway…thanks to everyone for all the great advice and we are looking forward to this adventure.:cool:
