Congratulations on booking the Liberty, Olga! Have a great time on your cruise!

I will only cruise with family members because we have an understanding that we will do things together and some alone. I cruised with a good friend of over 26 years and when I wanted to go on excursions, she wouldn't bc she wanted to find cheap excursions from vendor's waiting by the ship, while I will only do ship sponsored excursions., she said that since we went together we had to do everything together. I told her no way because I paid for my part of the cruise and will do what I please.
We were in St. Maarten, and were shopping close to the ship, but not walking distance. The ship was leaving in 30 minutes, and when I stopped a taxi, she refused to get on it bc she said she needed to smoke a cigarette. I got in the taxi bc I didn't want to miss the ship. She was super mad that I didnt wait for her, but there was no way that I was missing the ship. She missed a flight once with her kids bc she went to smoke. She had to wait 4 hours with her kids for the next flight.
She also removed all her tips and asked me to remove mine so she wouldn't look bad. NO WAY. She gave our head waiter and his assistant $3 each for the week.
Since then I have only cruised with family members. I would also cruise with the Crazies because they understand that you're free to go on your own if you would like.

Who would be interested in a Cruise Crazies Group Cruise out of Miami or Fort Lauderdale a 3 day or 4 day cruise. Let me know.
They are having great deals on the 4 day Carnival Destiny this summer, before they refurbish it and change the name to Sunshine. The 3 day Carnival Imagination is a lot more expensive now because of all the upgrades on the ship.
I'm not familiar with Royal Caribbean if anyone would like to sail on their ship. Let us know the rates. The 3 day Norwegian Sky also has great deals. What would all of you prefer?

Olga - Great idea but going to Florida from Pa. for a 3 or 4 day cruise, just isn't practical for us.

Sorry Olga traveling to South Florida for only a 3 day cruise would be tough for us.
