Ahhhhh, I'm sorry we didn't make it to 2000. I bet we'll have 2000 by June 1! :grin:

I'm not really good I this but I'll guess, Barbados?

Hi jewels64, Nice review. It seems you really enjoyed yourself. I'm getting to like Cozumel too. It seems that it is on the itinerary of many Carnival ships as well as other lines. I might as well make the best of it and really discover what's on the island. You are also helping me to past the time while waiting for the day of my cruise by cruising with you vicariously.

Welcome back, sailinglisa. I look forward to hearing about the good and the bad.

Hi KarenUK, Great review. It sounds like you and your family really enjoyed your cruise. It is easy to fall in love with Carnival. Children do seem to have a great time on the ship and the counselors seem very attentive. I once saw the counselors bring a group of children to the show lounge for the evening show. That allowed the parents to spend an entire evening together for whatever. :grin: I'm looking forward to trying some other cruise lines so I can make a true comparison.

I feel like such a cruise novice. I can't believe some of you have done over 50 cruises. I hope to have 20 under my belt within five years. As of now, I have done 5 wonderful cruises and look forward to my sixth during the summer.

I don't remember seeing any hand sanitizers on Carnival ships or on the Regal Empress. They might have been there but I carry a very small pocket size bottle of sanitizer and wash my hands frequently with soap and water when it's available.

jtutak, What an outstanding reply. Your answers are exactly what I was looking for and your photos are the icing on the cake. In 1990 there probably were not any security concerns but post 9/11 have things changed at all? This gives me something else to plan and look forward to. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hi jtutak and KarenUK, Thank you for your time and trouble. The Egyptian itinerary looks very interesting. How did you find the crew on the Nile River cruise? How was the food? Did they have anything for vegetarians? Were the staterooms large enough for you and did you have a private bath? Sorry for all of the questions but this is most intriguing. KarenUK, thanks for your suggesting Abercrombie and Kent. I have longed to see the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings for years. This Egyptian quest may be about 3 to 5 years from now unless there is a small economic miracle to push it forward. Of course, a major portion of it must be crusing the Nile. The next step is to check with the State Department to check on security issues in Egypt.
