Scrap Your Trip Adds 47 Items – What Should I Do As A First-Time Cruiser?

My “holiday rush” is moved up by one week this year. We are leaving the hustle, bustle and madness to take a relaxing cruise next week (the kids are out of school for 3 weeks and we had to have something to do!) We made the mistake of telling them too early. My 4-year old son Logan woke up and said “Is this a school day?” When we said yes, he threw himself down on the bed (he could rival any drama queen) and wailed “But I thought we were going on our cruise!” Since we’re not leaving until next Monday, he’s going to have a long week I’m both excited and nervous because we’ve never been on a cruise before. We’re going on Royal Carribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas out of Miami to Key West and Coco Cay for 5 days/4 nights. I know a lot of you are experienced cruisers and I wanted to ask what advice you would have for a first timer. Then I thought that others of you might also be interested in this advice too. So…I’m going to try something a little different. Instead of replying to this e-mail with your tips, could you please post them as comments to this post on the ScrapYourTrip blog? That way everyone will be able to read them!

Since I’m going on a cruise, I made sure we had new cruise scrapbook supplies this week. The SYT Design Team as also been hard at work on holiday designs. Tiffany has worked her magic again and her Tis’ The Season die cut is absolutely stunning! We have also made green and red stockings that we can customize with any name up to 13 letters (only in the font shown). Jill is the “elf” who works in the die cut room, cutting all our die cuts. Apparently, she’s a budding graphic artist with talents she’s been hiding from us! She and Tiffany collaborated on designing this week and came up with a whopping 29 designs for you to enjoy.
