This could be a first for the Cruise Critic board- this is a combined report from 2 people who met on the CC board prior to their cruise- met on board and decided to combine reports
Prior to boarding ship:
Lougee1043 left Portland, Oregon on wed 3/17 on a red eye to Orlando, Florida and then a car ride to our sons new home in Palm Bay to spend a few days with them and the new grandson- who gave us his cold which we didn't discover til after we boarded.
