We average abouy 9 months in advance. Our 1st was about 18 months, and that was a bit too long. After that, we cut it down. The shortest period was about 5 months. :smiley:

I agree with the others. I would sail out of NY. We've sailed from NY 3 times, and it's always an impressive place to see from a cruise ship. Not flying is always a plus, too.

We always use insurance and have from our first cruise. Like everyone said, there are just too many reasons to have it. WE have never had to use it, but the first time will convince me that I was correct in getting it.
Welcome to CruiseCrazies. This is a great board.

We prefer late seating for all of the usual reasons. The best time up on deck is when the early seating people are eating, and many of the late seating people are napping. :wink:
