My cruise review from the Spirit, 3/1 to 3/9. Other reviews (by other people) are in these threads: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=149384&highlight=spirit http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=148592&highlight=spirit

About us: Husband/wife, early 30s, 2 children ages 6 and 3. Live in San Diego. Wife was 23 weeks pregnant at embarkation. Previously cruised on the Pride (7-day in April 04) and Disney Magic (4-day in December '99).

Day 1 -------- Original plan was to take the Coaster down from near our house and walk to the terminal but I chickened out and got a friend to drive us down using our SUV. Got there around 11:45 or so, no traffic issues, got checked in, got our number (5 or 6, I don't remember) and found some seats to wait to be called. First thing I noticed was that the average age of people waiting for this cruise was a lot higher than that of the Pride from last year. Got called, went through security, got on the ship, made reservations for the supper club, and by then it was about 12:40 so we ignored the 1PM rule and went to our room.
