Hello All From Mortuary Misfit&#33;<br />It&#39;s great to find a site where I can ask all my redundant cruise virgin questions&#33; My name is Brandee, and my husband John will be taking our first cruise on Halloween 2011 out of Baltimore to Nassau, Freeport, and Port Canaveral on the Carnival Pride (delebrating his 50th bday and our never taken anniversary from three years ago.) We&#39;d love any hints comments, etc. that would make us more prepared and not as stand-outish on our first time. Anything like menu lists, bar costs, what not to miss or what should we skip completely. We are booked at 4211 (number correct?) on Deck 8A (the small deck of course). Depending on this trip willhelp us determine whether we take a family cruise the following summer with (then) 18 y/o daughter for a graduation gift, and John&#39;s (then 14 y/o son). We are hoping the rules don&#39;t change that we can get away will a birth certicate then (in our catalog, a closed loop cruise only requires ID and birth cert) cause momma won&#39;t g with us for passport for child. But that&#39;s still long away....any suggestions, comments, etc from the peanut gallery?
