What threads are the best for a new cruiser?

[miss missy]

Help!! We are trying to learn the ropes here about cruising plus a pre night and 2 post nights (all Swan). I can't keep up with all we need to plan, pack, learn... can you guys help point us to the right posts? We can do a WDW trip in the dark, but adding a cruise is making me feel overwhelmed.

Have a look on the cruise forum http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9

Or there is this thread

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2179446 with some links.

There are the cruise primer Podcasts too (sorry can't remember exactly which ones but I'm thinking Nov / Dec 2008?)

If you have any specific questions just post a thread here on on the cruise forum.
