&lt;P&gt;Wow, this is great!&amp;nbsp; I haven't even stepped foot aboard the ship and I've already met some great folks.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My room is 7113.&amp;nbsp; I have a cabinmate whom I've not met yet and her name is Jane, too.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So make sure to ask for the DC Jane\ MeJane :)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My email is &lt;A href="mailto:janestclr@yahoo.com"&gt;janestclr@yahoo.com&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm staying with friends vacationing in FT.L on Sat.2nd so I won't be at the hotel kick-off party.&amp;nbsp; Non-Cruisers aren't invited (rightly so).&amp;nbsp; But I plan on boarding as early as I can (11:30am) on Sunday so maybe we can meet for dirnks then.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Looking forward to meeting you,&lt;/P&gt;

We live in Crystal City (Arlington, VA). We are on the 3 Feb departure. This is our 11th Olivia trip- we might be addicted!

&lt;P&gt;Michele and Deb here in Gaithersburg, MD. We are on the Feb 3rd cruise getting to Ft Lauderdale on Sat and staying at Embassy Suites. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is our second cruise. We went one year ago and signed up for this one before we even got off the ship!! WE CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you or others who live in the DC area want to meet up for lunch on a Saturday(1/5 or 1/12)&amp;nbsp;before we leave that would be great. If not, look us up in Ft. L at the hotel or come see us on the ship Room 7138. We are at the very back (stern)of the ship our door will be decorated with our names so come on by!! Or just send a PM to get our cell number.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Regardless....get ready to have a blast!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Cheers,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Michele and Deb&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I live in DC.&amp;nbsp; And I'm on the Feb.3rd cruise.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I'm single, going solo&amp;nbsp;but I hope you being an 'old' married couple&amp;nbsp;(I saw your profile...congrats on the wedding,&amp;nbsp;making it home safely...and&amp;nbsp;thank you for your service :))&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;won't hold it against me :)&lt;/P&gt;
