:app: Yahoo!!!!! Our docs have arrived for the 9 April Mariner! Thrilled with our flight times and arrangements and in complete rapture about the document "packaging". In all of the reading I've done about this cruise, no one mentioned that the paperwork arrives in a nice (faux?) leather pouch-thingy. My parents sailed with Oceania (?) last year for a 30-day tour of Asia, but received their docs in a printed cardstock folder with pockets.
Radisson just doesn't stop impressing us!
So now it's crunch time! We have passports and docs in hand. The trip is finally REAL! (I love this feeling) Time to shop! Time to microwave my insides at the tanning bed! Time to really start disgusting everyone I know with the fabulous details of our journey!
WooHoo!!!! Dancin' - dancin' - Dancin' Machine!!!
Cheers! <img border="0" alt="[beer]" title="" src="graemlins/beer.gif" /> Ash <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" />

Just wait until you start to check in and get your first drink.

Ash, On April 9th you think of us in Las Vegas (drinking Cosmos at Todd's Cosmo party) and we'll think of you and Keith starting your fabulous honeymoon!! Dance away!

Ash, that is great news!!! Hopefully we will be dancing soon here in Texas as well. We are waiting for our docs from Silversea for our April 8th Silver Whisper cruise. Maybe today is the day. Enjoy your cruise and let us know all the details!!!

I start a softshoe when I make the final payment. It goes into full boogie mode when the docs arrive. We just made final payment on our Bermuda Cruise and I got an American Express Departures Magazine this week with a two page RSSC Cruise Ad for the Bermuda Cruise on the Navigator. I hung it up over the copier at the office. So when it's time for the final docs, I will be uncontainable.
Isn't the anticipation fun! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" />

Ash - congratulations! I'm just dying until it's time for our cruise coming up in June! (so that's like another 2 months before I get to do the doc dance too (sigh))

Congrats! I know the feeling - just got MY docs, too! :banana: (for the 29 May PG). Unfortunately it appears I'll be travelling alone - no one on any other boards or this one will admit to being on this trip... <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_cry.gif" />

Everyone here is so wonderful to genuinely share in our document excitement!
The closer we get to embarkation (ooooo, look at me tossing vocabulary around!), the less well received we seem to be by friends and family. LOL :ohmy: Sanity will be strained as I pray a great deal that what I've taught will be more than enough to satisfy the government. Grrrr! I won't get started on my testing soapbox.

My A & K documents arrived today, so I have been a dancing fool all afternoon. Didn't get the Silverseas box - that will have to wait until next year - but have a great new carry-on. Wish it had wheels, but they are very particular about luggage weight due to the internal air flights in Egypt, I am already worried about poundage & wheels would just add to the weight. Probably wouldn't be so bad but I am also hauling London weather clothes with me. I think I hear Chico's calling name. A happy, dancing, camper today.

Betty...Chico's for sure! Can't wait to hear about your trip. It's something I'd love to do.
I may just have to go to Chico's myself - of course, just a show of support! :D

Hi, Ash - Our Navigator April 12th docs also just arrived, so we share the excitement! The "official" countdown begins once the docs are "in hand," but some of my favorite moments are approaching the pier and glimpsing the ship getting closer... Mia

The docs for my 4/3 Navigator cruise arrived about a week and a half ago. Very nice first impression of Radisson!
My idea of roughing it is when room service is late!

Finally!!!!!!
We are now doing the doc dance for our 4/8 Silver Whipser cruise.
They were just delivered by Airborne Express and are first class. Came in a silver box, with leather luggage tags with the Silversea logo on it, and a leather embossed cruise document wallet.
Time to get down the suitcases!!!!!!!!

I guess the dancing bannanas are the official "Doc Dance"
