I am definitely leaning towards this cruise. If not with my family, I have a friend that's very interested. Being fairly new to "Cruise Crazies" I am really looking forward to meeting everybody. You sound like a great and fun group of people!!! Early November is perfect! I prefer a balcony cabin mid-ship but aft also works for me. And, Joey your lunch idea sounds great!!!
-
We prefer balcony, mid-ship but also depends on price.

Fuel Charge Increases Apr 21 for New Bookings

I totally agree with Joey and Steve. Just set a price for the cruise and quit nickel and diming us to death. -
We have posed for some but not always. We've only bought 2 - one in Alaska (with costumed "black bears") and one when embarking in San Juan in 2005.

Out of the 6 ships I have been on, so far I would have to say the Star Princess. It's a large ship but not a mega-ship. This ship also always had a variety of activities - something for everyone. It also always had a choice of evening shows with 2 different theaters or movies, etc..
-
What sticks out in my mind the most is....the friendly, open and welcoming people on the ship - both passengers and crew. I had a preconceived notion of people that went on cruises were "stuffy" and "snobby", so I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong. It is quite the opposite .

Mary Lou - Have a fantastic cruise!!!
-
I agree with Mary Lou - would not want to go back to Ocho Rios - a beautiful place but didn't feel safe. My favorite place to visit is Grand Cayman.
-
It's worth checking out. I thought it sounded "fishy" but worth a try!
-
My favorite would have to be the shows with the comedians, singers, magicians, jugglers, etc. But, I also enjoy just making my own entertainment - sitting on the pool deck (in the shade) with a good book or puzzle - people-watching and looking out at the ocean.
-
For us it's the itinerary, then the cruise line. We like to visit at least one port per cruise that we've never been to before.
-
My new favorite is a "Pyrate" Rum Runner.
-
Nice job, Mary Lou!!! I have to admit that I check daily also, but have never caught a break.

I would probably choose January - right after the often stressful (but enjoyable) holidays. Also it's usually the worst weather time around here.
-
As a new member I'm really looking forward to this cruise. Out of the 3 lines you mentioned Princess is my favorite but I would go with the majority. It's a cruise I'm not choosy.
-
My dh wants to take a year off from cruising (of course I don't). Maybe I can talk him into ths one!
-
I've always wanted to take that cruise. Sounds great!!
-
We have never had an inside cabin. My dh is very claustrophopic. Out of our 6 cruises we've had 2 oceanview and 4 balconies.
-
We usually take our time getting off the ship unless we're not going to be in port long. It's nice to go to breakfast after the initial rush and have a leisurely meal.
-
With only 6 cruises on 3 different lines I would have to say the Star Princess.
-
I would also probably choose the specialty dining.
-
I understand why they have all the new amenities. It attracts families and younger cruisers. I myself prefer the basics and wish they'd concentrate on perfecting those.
-
No objection here. Sounds good!!
