Hello and welcome to anyone that feels like following along for another family adventure on the high seas.
On our last cruise together in January 2017 we were on a very fog delayed Bahamian cruise out of Galveston. We had a great time AND we got a 15% discount to use from DCL for our troubles, so combined with the OBB 10% we had a nice little discount waiting to be used for something. We had an addition this time around as we are slowly suckering in more and more family. The dates of this cruise worked out for everyone and so it was booked right at the end of March 2017 before our fog discount date expired.
Star Wars wasn't the deciding factor on this one but the timing of this cruise was good for everyone, and we'd never done a Star Wars cruise before, so new is always good!
Here's the crew for this trip. Scott and I, my Mum, sister Maureen, nephew Paul, and our newbie to the group, his wife, Belinda. Last year Paul came to "try it out". This year he graciously allowed Belinda to come and "try it out" too.
In this photo it's my sister, me, Scott, Mum tucked in front and then Paul and Belinda.
This is the first time I've bought the embarkation photo! It wasn't the best but we weren't good about taking photographs with everyone together, so I had to make do with what I could get.
Seeing as we were all having to fly in for this cruise (Galveston has us so spoiled for a short drive to get there ) there was some coordination to be done but it all worked out pretty smoothly. Paul and Belinda were flying in from England, Maureen was coming from Tennessee and then Scott, Mum and I were coming from Texas and we all scheduled to get there on Friday, January 26th.
Plans are made and the gang is all ready. Time to get this party started.
