Yes, they are. These are normal, just like your plugs at home!!! Abigail:

I've mentioned the iron thing before -- There are NO irons in the cabins and the cruise line requests you not bring them onboard. It is a fire hazzard and safety is the prime concern. If you are horribly anti-wrinkle, there are those sprays I hear good things about, steamy showers, and careful folding that will help. On Super Shuttle: I'm pretty sure that if you are booked in the hotel before the cruise you got the directions in your document packet, it included the information on Super Shuttle, which is currently running about $17. If you go to Supershuttle.com, you can reserve in advance or take care of it when you arrive. Hope this helps. As promised, I will answer.

All of this is great info! Here's a few questions - does Super Shuttle run on a 24 hour schedule? I know our flight doesn't get in until about 9 p.m. Do we know how much the Super Shuttle costs? Also - are there by chance irons in the cabins? I know that I am the Queen of Wrinkled Travelers, and though I usually don't care, I may at some point. I think I may give up on the idea of working this week - there's just too much planning and packing and dreaming to be done! I can't wait to meet all of you!

I'm absolutely positive that you will meet 70+ wonderful knitters!! Beth: No, the soda/juice card doesn't cover bottled water -- and that can get pricey. First, do yourself a favor and remember that the water on the ship is potable (drinkable), even out of your bathroom tap. If you buy/bring a bottle of water, don't throw away the bottle, just refill it. Also, I'll tip you off, there will be a way for you to get cold water from Windjammer and be able to take it off the ship if you wish --- or anywhere around the ship -- just a hint. The wine program isn't unlimited wine, it is more of a pre-purchase of 5 bottles at a discount. The price varies based on the level of wine you buy and with this being a 5 night cruise, you are committing to drinking a bottle a night. I do not know the exact price, if you are a bottle a night person, or have friends to share with, this is a great deal -- but I just wanted to warn you that I have a heavy drinking client who can't get through the program (I've yet to understand why).

For some reason the sound on my laptop is not working properly and I wasn't able to listen to it. With this in hand, I think I know everything I need to know to jump on board and have a good time. I don't know a single person in the group and am a beginner sock knitter, but I'm totally looking forward to meeting everyone and being more than a beginner by the time the cruise is over. See you next week :) Thanks so much for this summary. For some reason the sound on my laptop is not working properly and I wasn’t able to listen to it.
