I'll have more tomorrow and the next several days.

Also, if any of you have some specific questions, I'll be happy to answer! :D

While I'm incredibly jealous of your cruise, my first question is: where did you get your pirate coat?! Was it made for you? Is there a pattern?

I made it myself. It is a Simplicity Colonial men's pattern that was made without the collar. There are a lot of great patterns out there, that with slight modification can be made into incredible pirate jackets out of just about any fabric. Mine was made from a woven upholstery fabric that I found for 50 cents a yard at a fabric wholesaler. It took less than a day to complete. :D

What a fun time! I would love it if they made the West Coast cruises permanent. I 've been hearing rumors that they are seriously considering it, even the Alaska route. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks for the report so far, and the pics!

Our Carnival cruise to Mexico was incredible....I can't imagine how amazing a Disney cruise would be.

I second that. I loved my trip aboard the Carnival Pride (which is not THAT bad of a ship ;) ). I sure hope it becomes a finalized cruise over here, I'm sure a LoT cruise would be fun! :D

If they move over to the west coast on a permanent basis, that's going to be my graduation present to myself. I'm starting to save my pennies....December 07/January 08.

Thank you so MUCH for your report so far. I love the pics and it just seems like such an amazing experience!

And, what a great Pirate wench you are! ;)

I love the pictures and the trip report. You and Frodo look happy and relaxed!! :)

Welcome back! :D

How Awesome! Looks like you had a blast!
