WOW! It's been so long since I've been here I forgot how to post!! Hello from sunny (and too much work) Florida! Nana...did Janet already leave for her cruise? What ship are they on? I know she told me a while go but I have a hard enough time remembering what I had for breakfast these days! Ladies...if I don't catch up with you have a great trip! Bon Voyage!!

She was my choice as well. The patience of a saint that woman has! She deserves every second of that cruise a year for life! BRAVO!

wildcats7....welcome to the family! Of all the cruise boards this is my favorite. The people here are definately the most friendly. We sailed the Valor last September. You will love her!! She's a beautiful ship. Plus, the bedding is some of the most comfortable I've ever had on a cruise. Anyway, last year was the first time we sailed in September. We encountered a little rain - nothing major that ruined the trip. There was a hurricane just a little before the sailing and we were wondering if we would be affected (we live in Florida so we have other issues to contend with other than just flying in) but everything went like clock work in the end. We usually cruise the Caribbean every November but we sail the 1st week. You're less likely to run into hurricanes at this time of year since it's the end of the hurricane season. Weather is usually beautiful and heading south at that time should still be comfortably warm without being overbearing. Although I don't dive, the water in Grand Caymen is absolutely beautiful. Since you love sea life, I'll recommend Stingray City. It is amazing, although my husband had the guide run a stingray up my back and send me into a panic attack....but you obviously would have that problem! If you have any other questions about the Valor feel free to ask, and again, welcome to CruiseCrazies!!

wildcats7....welcome to the family!!

Too funny! I wish I could come up with something as creative!

Welcome to the family Angus!!

We also put down the deposit and then make final payment the week it's due. We booked our Brilliance cruise onboard the Legend and final payment is due this week. At least it will be paid off before we get the bar bill for 13 nights!!

Hi Kids! We also just changed our cabin. Moved to a Superior Balcony. Decided for the few dollars more to have an additional 25 sq ft for 13 nights it would be worth it. Plus, the cabin we booked (9654) looked to have a larger balcony. Joe talked to someone on one of the boards and they said it was almost double the size and has a table 2 chairs and a lounge chair. Hope it's true! Nana...thanks for the info. We're not in port very long on most days so we thought booking through the ship was the best way to go. That way they're responsible for getting us back in time. Karen...congrats on the promotion!! I'm sure you've more than earned it! Come cruise with us Janet!! There's plenty of room left on our cruise! Selena...it's cold enough here. Going down to 30 tonight. BURRRRRRRRRR... Termmie...always a pleasure to talk with you! Give your beautiful wife a kiss for me. Tell her there's a beach calling our name! Talk to you all later...

Welcome to the family!!!

Just heard this on the news. Here's the link to more information: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11157659/

myval48 Welcome aboard!! It's been nice chatting with you. Hope you love the Valor!!

Congrats on your new booking! We got to do a ship inspection of her on the day of her inaugural and "Vicki's" wedding. Beautiful ship (we're looking forward to sailing her eventually too). Even got to see Captain Stubbing!! There was a great bartender on the Coral that was moved to the Caribbean because he was so good. His name is Michael and he makes a mean martini!!!!

When there's a knock on the door and you hear "Room Service"

Mebert...Janet's wonderful attitude towards life is why I can't wait to sail with her in November!! I'd say my favorite cruise was our honeymoon...a transatlantic on the Legend of the Seas. We're finally doing another transatlantic in April for our 7th anniversary....I love the sea days. They're so relaxing. Plus Barcelona is a wonderful city. Can't wait to walk Las Rambla again!

loucna I hope you're next cruise is extra special! Anyone that puts in that much effort deserves it! Joan and Joe I can relate. Joe and I don't get a day off until we leave on April 28th. The snowbirds are in town in Florida. Joe's working 6 days and I'm working 5-6 depending. Our day off is filled with grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning....not much time off. It'll be worth it in April! Karen...hope you enjoy your short holiday!
