Earl from the meet up in hotel lobby usully till we get on airplane there is usually a freind nearby and you may have just met them in lobby lst night. I think this is our 7th group cruise. Never knew anyone but frm board and chat room now they seem like my family. When good times or bad times come I have to turn to them to share. One of my hobbies is genalogy(family trees) and I think some of group are really kin. Course Brenda(Princess ) and Jim are my dd and sil. This will be Brendas 3rd cruise with the group. Don't be shy just join right in. Morning coffee in office is a good start.

This will be my 5th group cruise. Enjoy meeting everyone, alway's a few new @ddict's on each group cruise that I have not meet before.
It wonderful to see all the @ddict's I have meet before. Like Maw said a great way to meet is to start the day off with coffee in Maw's office.

Earl, the best part about group cruise is that you can stay by yourself, or always have someone to talk with.
It is your choice.

Usually you are on a ship and other than your traveling companion, you know no one.
This time from the very first, there will be people you know.
When you walk around the ship, you can stop and talk, perhaps plan to do things together, or just say "hello" and keep on walking.

For any event.. there is no pressure . If you turn up, that is great.. if you do not, no one will come searching you down, no one will be annoyed that you perhaps chose to go your own way.

No worries Mate.....:grin
