Congratulations on the booking Kareen. It's always great to have a cruise to look forward to. When is this one? Which ports will you visit? Enjoy the planning stages leading up to the trip.

I also enjoy the crafts on the ship. I made an truly awful pair of cheap earrings, a jewelry box and got hooked on scrapbooking on a cruise. I also enjoyed the napkin folding and towel folding classes and never miss a cooking class. A fun way to pass the day and time for myself which I never take at home.

I am a very early riser who enjoys having my morning coffee by the pool. I also am not a sun worshipper and sitting by the pool is no treat for me so I am never looking to a lounge by the pool. I would sit at a small table every morning and exchange small talk with a very elderly gentlemen who would sit at the table next to me and chat about the trip and complain about the chair hogs. This poor man could barely walk - in fact a member of the crew would bring his coffee and pastry out to the table for him as he reguired a walker to get around. After about 3 days of complaining, this sweet little old man got up and worked his way around the pool, removing everything left behind and depositing it in one big pile on just one lounge chair. I never laughed so hard. He did this for 3 mornings in a row til one "lady" (and I use that term very loosly) gave him H*&^ It was a good way to start the day with a laugh though.

sending the message on to my family and friends as soon as I visit the site myself. Thanks for posting the link.

Ken - thanks for your review of the Empress. We have sailed on this ship quite a few times and are very sorry to hear it will be leaving the fleet in March of 2008. Glad you had a good time and we look forward to trying out the new menu.

Have a wonderful cruise nanapinky. Just think of how happy your grandbabies will be to see you once you return. In the future, please post any important dates (birthdays, anniversaries and most importantly cruises) on our calendar so we can be sure to send you off with our Best Wishes. Wishing you blue skies and calm seas[/size]

Eva - Hope you enjoy your cruise on the Crown Princess. Please come back here and subit a review when you return home. Wishing you blue skies and calm seas.[/size]

Welcome back. Sorry your cruise was not what you expected but hope you enjoyed yourself in spite of the problems.

I have not changed my mind about cruising at all. However, RC announced their '08 cruises from the NE in the last two weeks and the prices have skyrocketed from this year. Perhaps that is why the booking are off. I know it has made us reconsider whether we would be taking 1 or 2 cruises next year.

Rat - Have a great cruise on the Mercury. Please come back here and tell us all about it. Wishing you blue skies and calm seas.[/size]

Mebert - I know you don't sail until Thursday but not quite sure when you are leaving so today I will wish you Bon Voyage. Hope you have a wonderful cruise and can finally relax and enjoy yourself. Please come back and give us a full report on the Carnival Freedom when you return. Wishing you blue skies and calm seas.[/size]

Carlos & Jasmine - Any friend of Cheryl is a friend of ours. Welcome. Please post often and become an active member of our Cruise Crazies Family

Although I have never sailed on Carnival I always take along a 3 prong power strip and never had a problem using it on any ship I have been on.

Congratulations on the booking Tonia - Are you sailing on the same cruise as Joey & David or is this a different one? Enjoy the planning.

Glad you enjoyed Tony Darrow. I have not seen him but have seen some very good comedians on Cruise Ships. I will have to keep an eye out for him.

Howard & Pat - Here's hoping you have a wonderful cruise to Bermuda on board the Costa Magica. Please come back here and tell us all about it. WISHING YOU BLUE SKIES AND CALM SEAS.[/size]

I can't comment on Carnival but I do know that on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity they will cash your travelers checks at guest relations or in the casino and there is no fee involved.

Wonderful Joey - sounds like a really great cruise. Enjoy the planning.
