Who are these people who get to pick vacations in January or even earlier? We don't even get a chance to pick until March. And I think I am probably picking late in the second week. Seeing as how last year we had about 10 drivers laid off last April and eight people get to schedule off for one week during vacation time (whew!), I don't see it as being a problem.

I don't drink so I guess I will be the one taking the pictures of those that do with a steady hand. I will try to capture their best "assets."

Alright- I'm in. Got my Vacation, paid the bill, all I need to do now is show up. Amy is getting the wife and I into the hotel in Miami, and we have to pick our off ship excursions.

Cool....if you have never read on Cruise Critic.com message boards, that can be a good place to go for ideas and reviews of excursions.

This is the only way to afford a cruise. The way my wife and I like to suck em up we need the all inclusive thing which is rare on cruises from what I understand.

Almost none existent. If you have large enough of a group(not sure how many) with everyone participating it can be done though. The secret is to take your own with you. Many many people do this and never have a problem. A beer only drinker wouldn't have much luck but those that drink mixed drinks manage quite well from what I read.
