Vickey, welcome to Cruise Crazies and the Daily Dock.  I hope to see you stopping by often to chat with us.  How exciting, your first cruise.  Setting foot on that ship, and also catching your first glimpse of her, will be an emotional thing.  We are sailing the same day as you, but on the Carnival Conquest out of Galveston.  Feel free to ask any questions you might have - someone here should be able to answer them.
