    Sometimes (especially on port days) I find a nice little spot by the adult pool. Another spot that's not as secluded but often quieter is on the outdoor promenade under the lifeboats.....may not be glamorous but is usually pretty quiet.

    I have to agree with all of the above and add a few things. Children "playing" in the elevators....pushing all the buttons and riding up and down with no supervision! People not "dressing" for dinner...if you don't want to dress up - go to the buffet! I also think it's rude to save seats for the shows....if you want a good seat come early and get it like the rest of us! (Boy, did that feel good....thanks Joey for the question ).

    I agree with Rose in that cleanliness (or lack therof) is a deal breaker. I enjoy reading the reviews but I don't base a desired itinerary or ship to change my mind based on them.

    I agree, Joey.... as my DH and I have done this for each other. On my last cruise (AOS) there were many people that would leave their towels on their chairs but the pool staff was pretty diligent about removing them after 30 minutes (the ship's rules). I saw some disappointed faces when people would come back to find someone else in "their" chair

    I love being in, on and near the water. Best value-best bang for your buck! I love not having to do anything-no cooking,cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping.....you get the picture. I love dressing up and being able to wear "summer" clothes in the winter.....unless it's Alaska in the summer And as Jenn said "Why not?"

    I'd have to say the Star Princess is my favorite. There were a great variety of shows, many restaurants and I liked the layout of the balcony staterooms - kind of a walk-in closet. But believe me I enjoy ANY ship I'm on

    It depends on the port and what we want to get out of it. If it's a port with a rich history we usually take a ship excursion. If it's a place that we just want a "taste" of we'll either just walk around or take some kind of a taxi tour. We haven't gone wrong either way yet!

    Princess is our favorite because of the multitude and variety of onboard activities! Also their service is superb!

    We never missed a port due to the weather. We were on a S. Caribbean cruise on the Golden Princess and were supposed to go to Caracas, Venuezuela and were diverted to Isla Margarita ( for "government" reasons we were told). No other compensation - which was very disturbing to most passengers because all that was at Isla Margarita was a little outdoor market and a beach.

    So glad you bumped up this thread, Keith. I really don't remember what got us on the first cruise.... I think I was surfing online for a "different" Winter Break" vacation and came upon a good cruise deal. My DH was reluctant but once he got on that ship he was hooked and (obviously) so was I - that was in 2002 and we've been on 5 more since......still waiting for the next one.......maybe "Connie Goes CRAZIE!"?

    Congrats! I'm so jealous....but happy for you! When are they going to put a Cruise Port in Detroit-LOL!......then maybe we could cruise more often !!!

    We don't really have a special drawer....etc., but we do have a cruise-specific list that is very organized and only used on cruise vacations.

    I like the printed docs better, also! I guess they make it (the cruise) feel more real - like it's really going to happen!
