I hope not.. I am not a fish person.. dont eat it dont fish for it .. but they are interesting to look at...

Thanks Mebert, I don’t worry he will find out from here, I had to strongly suggest to David that he needed come on line to acknowledge the good wishes that you guys offered after his surgery.. he is just not a internet person so My secret is safe until I spill it.. I want to see how long it take him to see that we have indeed upgraded. I am not putting luggage tags on the bags until we get to the port.. then I will just say the stateroom number to the porter and have them make out the tags.. I figure I should get some fun out of this.. I feel like a little kid :grin: the video camera I hope will capture all the excitement...

I have never been snorkeling, I figured this would be my best chance to do that. Here inlays the problem, I don’t know "JACK" about snorkeling. plus I think the fish would scare me to death...(in some things I am, as our governor has been known to say, such a gurly man) but if I can convince myself that I am in not danger by "swimmin wit da fishes" I would love to see the beauty. So who can explain to me what to expect, what type of equipment will i need .. is it best to own certain pieces (heath concerns using things that go in the mouth) how strenuous is snorkeling .. just any information would be great for this newbie Thanks :cheesy:

Ok so how do you get to change cabins at the last minute???<] It’s called a lucky thing, normally when I plan cruises is way out I the future year in advance so that we can get just the cabin I want. This particular cruise I booked late so I couldn’t get a verandah they were all sold out. After I book a cruise I begin to refine it so I ma on the cruise lines website probably more than an employee, looking studying understanding how the operate. It was on one of these price checks I noticed a better stateroom was available and I jumped. So PERSISTENCE is the key word. I thought there was large fees to make changes after you have booked.<] I have never paid a fee to upgrade just the price difference is stateroom Category. I am new at this cruise information. I have learned not to use a TA.<] I normally do all my own work and then turn the cruise over to friends who are TA’s so they can collect the commission. That’s just me I love to plan vacations. Let me say that a well informed involved TA is as valuable asset to planning a terrific vacation. I know I can get things for a lot less than she did, So lets talk on how to make good cruise decisions. I need some lessons..<] Longwait, the best “advice†I can give you is to do your homework, ask a lot of questions, hope that when you do ask a question you get at least 3 people giving you the same answer. Have an idea what you want to spend Plan a mock vacation to see if you come in under budget I call this running the numbers, make sure you plan an extra 10 % for just because. When you have a budget figure in mind .. You go for it! Hope some of what I said makes sense. If not ask away I am sure there are loads of people here that can help you out.. I know for a fcat that member JohnG gives Excellent information. Have fun bottom line..and good luck
