Hi I&#39;m new to cruising and decided to join you all to keep me out of trouble and also to keep me from going crazy waiting for our cruise in October.<br />There is 4 of us going myself Vickey and husband Steve my cousin Chrystel and her husband Jim it is our first time cruising and it took me 32 years to convince DH to cruise and now he is excited .<br /><br />I am the planner,booker and info gatherer for our gang as my cousin and her husband take alot of vacations with us.<br /><br />We are taking a Carnival Western Caribbean Cruise on the Legend leaving out of Tampa on October 18th.<br />We are booked at the Chase Suites in Tampa the night before, mostly because it has two bedroom suites and the ship/shore pkg.<br />We have our flights already booked on Delta.<br />We have two of our excursions planned already but only one is booked(Victor Bodden in Roaten). Waiting on the one we want to take with Carnival (Altan Ha and River Wallace Tour). <br /><br />Hope I haven&#39;t bored you all to death.
