What do you think... wonderful opportunity!

My IL's just called to tell us we are invited with their whole extended family on a plane ride to Washington State and then a 7 day cruise to Alaska completely paid for!!! OMG! I can't believe it. The problem being is it's on July 29. I'm due Sept. 22. So I will be 32 weeks the day before we would leave. Will probably have c-section anywhere from 9/12-9/16. I'm not going to be able to go am I? I'll be 6-8 weeks from my due date? My DH's grandfather is paying for about 15-20 people. I of course would bring my son also. He wants the whole family to be together and he's wanted to go to Alaska his whole life. The other problem is that none of my DH's side of the family knows we're PG yet. We're going up to Maryland to tell his parents in 2 weeks. I'll be 13 weeks then. Do you think I'll be able to go? They need to know if we're going today. What do you think? It's one of those once in a lifetime opportunities, you know! AAaaahhh!!!

Check with the cruise line, but I know Royal Caribbean won't let you go on the boat past 20 something weeks

Re: What do you think... wonderful opportunity!

We don't know the cruise line yet.

Re: What do you think... wonderful opportunity!

Nevermind...

We're not going to be able to go. I was looking online and most of the cruiselines say they won't let you on past 27-28 weeks. I don't know what we're going to tell his family since we haven't told them I'm PG yet. There's no way they'll change the trip to 5 weeks sooner so I can go since July 29th is the best time for everyone. What a dissapointment. I would of been 32 weeks.
