Just trying to reach any couples with children daughter 8 and son 14 that we could get together and get the kids together, I have never cruised before but have been told to try to meet someone with the same type of family and ages and the cruise could be a lot more fun.
We are from the florida panhandle and are just looking for others going on 6/22/03 with the same families.

Hi Familyman...you didn't specify what ship...Inspiration out of Tampa? We are a family of four heading down a day early to head out on the Inspiration...from rainy Massachusetts. I have two boys...ages 7 and 14. My 7 year old will probably spend part of his time get wrinkled in the pool and the other time in Camp Carnival. He looooved Royal Caribbean's children's program last year. My 14 year old...likes to be on his own. He is a great kid...just didn't much care for the whole "organized activity thing"...little shy. He finally met a friend last year the day before we disembarked. I am counting down the days til we leave...so excited. No worries for a whole week.....well except for getting a deck chair!! What excursions are you guys going on?

We'll be traveling on the Conquest on 6/22. We have two sons almost 9 (couple days short) and 11.5. My husband is in the Military, loves to run and golf and sports in general. I'm a programmer, love to read/Volleyball/ sports in general.

I was lucky, he did not get deployed. He's AGR and works at Camp Shelby (Hattiesburg, MS). We'll be leaving out of Hattiesburg (about 1 hour drive from Gulfport, I have to admit, I'm glad the ship's not back in NO yet :-) )
