Johanna, about that Mystic Tan....

Definitely go do it on the week you plan to go on your cruise. I don't know what day your going, but I would either go 3 times, with a day in between or 3 in a row. Make sure you go early enough in the day that you won't have to bathe anytime soon. The salon should explain everything to you in more detail than I did. Make sure you take some pics so we can see how it looked! (if you have a blog, that is!) You can be the posterchild for homeschooling moms who are tanned!

Chlorine makes the Mystic tans streak and run. It shouldn't matter in the salt water pools but you might want to avoid the hot tubs. I remember several women with obvious streaks on our last cruise. :eek:

Also remember that you need a lot of sunscreen. The Mystic tan doesn't provide any sun protection. Have a fabulous vacation. :)
