How about that!!

Todays Question: A lot of folks have sailed the carribbean many times ...some visiting the same ports others visting many differnt ports...Todays question is for those who happen to have been one of those that have cruised the Caribbean many times.. Simply...why do you keep going back?

Welcome Aboard!!

Welcome Aboard!!

Welcome Aboard!!

Very nice... thanks for a look....

doesnt matter... I don't do shows..... David on the other hand likes the production shows...

Welcome Aboard!!

and we will steve we will!! This week I have a feeling...

OUCH!! hang in there!!

Jackie I too would like to see it ... but how long do you suggest we wait?

Now as we discuss the HAL Itinerary itself.. it does accomplish the southern deep carribean thingy... with Barbados.. and I don't know anyone that doesnt like St Maarteen.. we personally have not visited Fort-De-France, Martinique so that will be a new port for us.,....as far as pricing.... well it is what it is... I leave that to the individual to decide if it has value....the $600 deposit is a bit more than I am used to..but for us it is no major problem as I see it.... definately not a deal breaker .... i do like the 75 OBC.. Although HAL is never our first choice this Itinerary would work for us if it won... What do you think??

Welcome Aboard!!

no not closing down.. just the fact they close it period during port days... I would think they could leave it open for slots and maybe a little black jack for folks that get back early for shore or just don't want to go to shore...

I was thinking closing the casino... you don't need everything open but the slots and maybe a table or two

Todays Question: Todays question may take a bit of thinking to respond to... Is there one thing you feel is absolutely unnecessary that the cruise lines insist on?..

Welcome Aboard!!

oh definitely on that Celebrity thingy... ..... i just wanted to get people looking at the finalists as we get them so when the final poll goes up they can vote with confidence because they have had time to review all the options...

voting is two weeks you will only be gone 7 days......
