exactly

let me ask a question Kevin.. have you ever had trouble finding your kids on board?

serving Mexican again are we?

thats a good one Bob!

it is a reapeat i beleive.. i do question some of the advice they offer..but it is a good strating point for new cruisers...thank you Deb

it is at minimum a 3 step process..1 step is to make bookmark folders on my computer for each of the ports of call we are interested in... 2nd step is to google each port and see what comes up... (if i see something interesting I then google it as well)anything i come across THAT POSSIBLY could be information i bookmark the page in the appropriate folder. 3rd step is to scour each folder for ideas.. when i have 2-4 ideas I then run theses ideas by David for discussion.. thats how we start.... and then sometimes we just "wing" it

we have ours!

very interesting ed thanks for the information....I had no idea

one giant parking lot

Carmen do you think theywere thinking everyone would take amtrak down from B'More?

what a fun story....

..... i tell the ones that ask me .. you have to see it to believe it...

Imagine if you will .. you are talking to a friend /associate who had never taken a cruise before, and they ask you to.. "tell me one thing just one thing that is so great about cruising?" .. Would you tell them ..that you unpack only once but get to see different ports of call throughout the world?, Would you tell them about the great and bountiful meals?,or maybe you tell them about the great new "friends" you meet. Would you tell them about the spa? the sea air?.. or would you just smile.. and say it's really something you need to expierence... What would you say?

Wow.... what a shame..

Are you the type that would be satisfied as long asthe accomedations are clean .. or do you insist that the hotel you book have "free" shuttles to and from the port /airport.. what about that "free" breakfast does that have to be included? Does the location have to be close to "fun" local activities? When booking a hotel for a pre cruise or post cruise stay what do you look for in a hotel?

I shot one off yesterday (to Carnival). We'll see what happens. Later Jim cool test case!!

our cruise is a day closer... Happy New Years Connie Goes Crazie Cruisers!

Regent has a new re-designed website at RSSC.com. This new site features numerous enhancements you will find useful in the planning of your cruises. This includes new imagery, ship tours, and the ability to find your dream cruise by region, month, ship, and ports included in the sailing. Enhancements include: An interactive Find A Cruise section that sorts our sailings by region, month, ship, duration and port An enhanced Ports & Excursions section that dynamically sorts by region and country, and includes new photos for each port Interactive and animated maps on itinerary pages New Multimedia Center that features videos, press releases, e-postcards and shore excursion booklets Updated Ship Tours More robust Seven Seas Society section where guests can submit testimonials Our site is a work in progress, so there are a couple of areas still in development, including an Already Booked section that replaces the My Cruises area of the original site.
