Each stateroom will be given a 8.5" x 14" removable label for your door. You and your cabinmate will have the opportunity to decorate as you so choose. Providing that you do not damage the door and keep your decoration on the provided label as much as possible. Oh yes and for some individuals whom I will name namelss, a reminder to keep it a G-rating and appropriate for the general public viewing.
We thought it would be fun and a great way to recognize our group! This was a big hit on a recent cruise Roger and I went to in Europe and since many of our group members are on the same deck it made it very visable as we walked down the hallway. You know important ID and memory association for the AARP group!
Still confused? Let me help...Stick the label on the exterior of your stateroom door. Wanna take it a step further? Here are past ideas that I can share with you to decorate your door label that was used on a previous cruise. Decor themes: port of call, your hometown or special interest/hobby themes. Use of scrapbook paper, stickers, stick on letters for our names , personal photos of yourself and your cabin mate to ID your stateroom. Destination or even postcard of our hometown were also used to decorate the door label. I personally hung a pen and sticky notes which was fun as I got notes from our group visitors and also other cruisers who left me notes saying what a cool idea. You know just in case we're not in our cabin and at atrium bar or somewhere else having fun.
Okay so now it's your turn to get creative or not. Just stick the label on your door with your name on it for the minimal approach. Or a simple note with a permanent marker for all is cool as well. These items can easily be purchased at stores such as Michael's, Target, Wal-Mart, Long's Drug & ABC stores to name a few. It's fun and the creative side is endless with your personailty at the helm...
Yes, Roger and I will be decorating our door...but we will not be in the contest, so fear not - one less competitor for you!
Just remember please keep your decorations on the label which is REMOVABLE so as not to damage the stateroom door. Common sense: you damage it --- you pay for it! Thanks for your cooperation with following this request.
Those intrested in the competition-- your door label decorations need to beon display for judging by Friday, March 6th 12noon.
Looking forward to seeing your creation. Still stuck? Email or call me and we will connect! Have fun.
Final Count on our group cruise guest roster ...we have 47 individuals joining us on this trip. Wow! Wanted to personally thank everyone who made this committment to join our Friends & Fun Cruise.
Understand that the temptation and curiosity to visit border Mexico/Baja may be lurking in your mind...but think again. If the United States Marines need permission to visit Mexico, should you be considering this option for a pre or post-cruise excursion? 
There will be a NO-HOST Pre-Cruise Night Cap Cocktail Hour in Old Town San Diego for our group.
Wanted to let you know that Alex has confirmed our seating assignment for the first night's dinner. We are all signed up for the late night dining. This assignment was set up to make it easy for you and the cruise dining room staff when you enter for dinner on the first night. The cruise dining staff will have this seating arrangement so you will know where to go.
