Luke, sounds like all the gods in the heavens are shining down on you for this trip. I know you must be loving that big deck on the aft suite!Our own Kirky5 had one on TAP, and it was beautiful!

You are right, group cruises with special friends are great, but nothing like having the time and resources to bring along the whole family! I have only done it once, but most of the time I try to bring one or the other with me for special memories one on one. You and your family are off to a great start! Don't come out of the trance!
