Thanks for posting the list. This really helps. I booked this cruise over a year ago and I am so not ready yet. Can't use the excuse it snuck up on me - just too damn busy for my own good.

Don't forget school supplies for the daycare. Looking forward to seeing the looks on the children's faces when we bring all the donated supplies from the Ladies of Olivia!!!!!
