Hi Julie,

I just found your message...I'm still getting used to navigating this site! We are from Iowa, so for us Great Lakes is only a 3 hour drive. We are planning on driving up on Thursday night and heading home sometime on Sunday depending on what the schedule looks like. Where

will you be staying? 

Hey manning53. Sorry it has taken me so long to answer you. There are several ships and they each have several DIV's on each one. One of the ladies who has been helping us out with info posted what most in the different DIV do. Go to the pir 2-18-11 site and look for that posting. I keep having to look back at it to remember. We are taking amtrak to great lakes. It is so much cheaper than flying. And the seats soft so you are not sitting on a hard seat the whole way. You may want to check it out. We are going to rent a car as soon as we get there at union station.
