Start with passports - both of you will need them for a cruise. You can get the applications at the Sumter County Government Annex on CR 466 near Morse Boulevard. That, in itself, can be a hassle and take awhile so get that process started. Concurrently, visit a reputable Travel Agent and ask about cruises, let them give you some brochures, etc. Also talk to friends who have cruised in the past for their advice - there are "party" ships, "food" ships, etc. Figure out your preferences. TV does have a Travel Club so it may be worth it to visit one of their meetings, listen, ask questions, etc. Cruises can be loads of fun but careful planning makes for a much more enjoyable experience. Possibly, for a first time cruise, you would want to book with a TV group of some sort - we have lots who go on cruises. Then a lot of the more mundane items such as baggage handling, transportation to/from the port, etc., are arranged and handled by the group. Again, the TV Travel Club is a good place to get info on group tours.
