Last year, on the Crown Princess, we saw the Teen Patrol working and they did a great job on the cruise we were on. They seemed to be great with the kids, but still were able to keep control. We saw them getting some kids out of one of the hot tubs, and they all left together laughing. I was impressed.

I suspect that a lot of people fall off ships due to alcohol abuse. If there is anything that the cruise industry is lacking in, it's controlling the binge drinking that goes on. There was recently a case where a young man got sick and was retching so violently at the rail, that he actually threw himself over the rail by accident. Some have been seen climbing on the rails and just slipping off. There is a portion of them that commit suicide. I'm sure that some are as a result of foul play, but I'm not sure that it's a very large percentage.

We're booked on the Crown Princess for May 10, 2008. It's a repositioning cruise from San Juan to New York. We were on this ship last July, and loved it. I hope you really enjoy your cruise.

I'm always impressed with the size.

For us, it was also the Atrium. We were on the Nordic Empress which has an Atrium thats spans 6 decks with large windows going all the way to the top deck. The sheer size and grandness was enough to stun us both.

Friends of ours just came back from a cruise that has cell phone capabilities. They said that they saw nobody at all using a cell phone. For someone who absolutely needs to make calls to shore (sick relative, change of tracvel plans, etc.), using a cell phone is still cheaper than using the ship-to-shore phone in your cabin.

What a great idea!

They are sliding doors. Were now booked on her for May of next year. We were on her third voyage last July. The ship is beautiful. The balcony cabins are slighly smaller than the same cabins on some of the other ships we were on. If its just for 2, there is no problem at all.

I also agree with you, Cheryl. They're definitely boring after your 1st cruise. Also, because when it's over, every person on the cruise is trying to get back to their cabin, you can't get an elevator. As a result, we're always walking up 5 or 6 decks to our cabin. Now, I'm not against some exercise, but I want to wait until I actually feel like I need it.
