Also-

Go take a look at the Chit Chat forum. There is a group cruise on the Liberty right now, and Kuki is writing daily reports.

well it depends. on the hot guys.

there was only one cruise i went on where there weren't any, but there still was a guy even though he wasn't that cute.

on my last one there were TONS! but like i have to admit, on cruises guys look so much hotter than if you would have seen these guys at like school or something if you know what i mean?

so we're from the same state going on the same cruise. I'm from Linden.. its next to Fenton. Also like 30 miles south of Flint. You gotta let me know where you're from because that's totally insane that we're gonna meet. How insane would it be if like we live like 10 min from each other or something like that?! well let me know!

jersey_girl_at_heart · #8 (**permalink**) January 14th, 2007, 11:24 PM

XoX_Mo_XoX · #9 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 01:08 AM

haha i no what u mean... like when u see hot guys @ the mall or so forth, but if u saw them @ school its like ahhh i could do better.....

XoX_Mo_XoX · #10 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 01:18 AM

okay another semi important question::

about how much cash should i bring on the ship? do u really need any for the ship or what extra costs r there (rather than shore excursions?)

xglockenspielx · #11 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 01:19 AM

cash is pretty much garbage on the ship itself.. everything is done by credit.

lsclaf26 · #12 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 10:48 AM

yup. on the ship they dont even let you pay with cash (in my expeiernce) but def bring some for shopping and stuff on the islands!

girl_next_door · #13 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 11:43 AM

i didnt bring any money for bermuda cuz we dont shop on shore there. and on the cruise you use the card. so i brought nothing.

for western caribbean bring TONS! because of all the silver in mexico. and blankets!
eastern caribbean, bring like inbetween.

lsclaf26 · #14 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 11:45 AM

yeah. i spent alot in bermuda. but i got alot of like souviners and postcards for my friends. and we forgot sunscreen haha.

but i aslo spent A TON in mexico (w. caribbean) really good shopping.

girl_next_door · #15 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 12:21 PM

yea i guess it just depends if you like ot shop or not. i dont.. so i dont pack a lot.

lsclaf26 · #16 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 04:24 PM

yeah i shop. alot. and i had like NO room in my suitcase, so if you plan on shopping def leave extra room.

girl_next_door · #17 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 04:33 PM

or just leave room in general. i definitely couldnt fit anything on my way back home. and i packed 5 minutes before we left, so i was holding half my stuff.

lsclaf26 · #18 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 04:35 PM

hahahhaha me too! i just shoved everything that could fit but going there eberything was perfectly folded and then like i wanted to get packed quickly so i could spend more time with my friends before we had to leave =[

girl_next_door · #19 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 06:45 PM

yea my mom had to come find me in the morning cuz i didnt even pack yet and then shes like, we're leaving in 5 minutes! and i was like CRAP! so i stuffed everything in and went..

lsclaf26 · #20 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 06:46 PM

ahh yeah. my mom made me pack after dinner. so i just ran to my room took all my clothes and dumped them in my suitcase and shoved all my shoes in and was done. but i made my brother sit on it so i could zipper it! haha it was soooo full. i wanted to pack fast so i could have a good last night!

girl_next_door · #21 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 09:03 PM

yea my mom wanted me too. but when i went back & changed.. by the time i was gonna start my friend knocked on my door and invited me to go to the show with him so i left and told my mom i was packing later.

XoX_Mo_XoX · #22 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 09:47 PM

haha i shop A LOT so i will remember 2 leave extra space... thx!

girl_next_door · #23 (**permalink**) January 15th, 2007, 11:05 PM

yes ESPECIALLY if you're going to the caribbean

lsclaf26 · #24 (**permalink**) January 16th, 2007, 08:23 AM

yes deffff leave space! you;ll need it.

girl_next_door · #25 (**permalink**) January 16th, 2007, 04:43 PM

so what's your favorite thing you've ever bought on a cruise?

lsclaf26 · #26 (**permalink**) January 16th, 2007, 06:42 PM

hmm. well i didnt buy it! i took like one of those little like message in a bottle types of bottles and filled it up with bermuda sand! haha its in my room still. but the best thing i bough was this necklace that im in LOVE with. it has all diff kinds of colors/jewels that are soo pretty. i bought it in mexico.

WillyDogs51 · #27 (**permalink**) January 16th, 2007, 09:31 PM

I brought a couple hundred dollars cash on me on my last cruise to the Bahamas. Problem was I didn't have it with me too often on the excursions when I actually needed it. On the cruise, having your room key act as your charge card is great.

On my first cruise, my one and only souveneir was a t-shirt I purchased and had everyone I had hung out with sign. It really was cool and I'll keep it to remind me of how much fun I had. I felt like a king on that cruise!

NYorkbabyy08 · #28 (**permalink**) January 16th, 2007, 10:16 PM

haha we did that to a kid. only we signed his body

lsclaf26 · #29 (**permalink**) January 17th, 2007, 08:22 AM

hahhaa that kid isnt bad looking!
but yeah thats really funnyy..

girl_next_door · #30 (**permalink**) January 17th, 2007, 11:17 AM

haha yea i second that lizzie. thats funny though.

my dad bought me a pink& white saphire silver ring in mexico for christmas. and because silver isn't expensive in mexico. it wasn't that much money. only around $20 or $30. and none of my friends believe me when i say its silver or sapphires. they think i'm kidding.

my family also buys a million mexican blankets in mexico!! like i think those are the only blankets we have in our house.
