We did a private daysail and it was the best thing we did . Loved every minute of it.

Most will cost 100.00 to 120.00 pp but it includes open bar, a little something in the morning when boarding (to eat) and a wonderful lunch. You can snorkle, swim whatever you decide and most will even take you were ever you want to go, like St. John's.

I think that is what we are going to do again. We already have our Harley shirts from there.

With all the different things to do and see, I'm going to have to give up on collecting t-shirts, shot glasses, hurricane glasses and just concentrate on printed bar napkins...atleast they will all fit into my luggage....is anyone bringing a food saver machine...if I vacuum pack them I can get more into smaller spaces...

[Sharon2U]

Books of matches work well also, I think you can put them in your checked luggage.

We are going to be there B2B weeks!!!

So one day we will enjoy the town then next week go over to St. John!!

Haha...that's awesome. I usually just take photos for my souveniers. A lot of them are on my website for you to look at. I've never been much of a souvenier person, but my contracts on ships have always been longer than your average cruise, so I don't want to fill up on stuff and run out of space (and allowed luggage) when I'm done a contract. Although, my overweight bag got me bumped up to first class on Philippine Airlines last contract...that was kinda nice.

Re-reading this thread makes me want a Bushwacker!

Jeff, I checked out your website and I love your job....Sounds like a great experience.. How long have you been on board ?

[radiofreebcj]

I was on 'The World' for a year. It's been almost a year since I've been there though.

I'm readjusting to life on land!

I also worked for Royal Caribbean for 5 years.

Sounds like an awesome experience.... What's next for ya ?

Working on "The World" was an amazing experience, and one that I will always remember. I have a blog that I can show you if you're interested, but I can't type it in here, as my site has unfortunately been blocked by Jason.

I currently run a hobby website called c r u i s e j o u r n a l s . c o m<] that is really no competition to this site, but it seems to be a dirty word on this site (along with almost every other cruise-related site out there). If you want to see what I mean, try typing the name of my website in a post, and see what shows up.

As far as what I'm up to right now, I'm working on a concept for a cruise travel television show for online broadcast, and I'm currently coding and debugging another Web 2.0 website focused on cruising. I hope Jason builds a profile on my new site to promote this site...as I have no intention of blocking people who want to make cruising information and people easier to reach. You'll see what I mean when you look at the site. It's completely open, and anyone can use it to network with other people.

If you're interested, you can have a look at m y c r u i s e f r i e n d s . c o m<] to see what I'm working on. It's not finished, and if you run into any problems, please let me know...it's still a bit buggy, but I think it'll be fun, and something completely different from the standard cruise-forum sites that are everywhere on the web once it's all up and running properly. It's basically a MySpace for cruisers, that anyone (and any site) can join.

Other than that, I've been working as a video editor at www.realestatechannel.ca to pay the bills. It's not really all that exciting, but the hours are good...and having days off is kind of nice!

Again, Jason...much respect for this site. Come by my site and promote yours...I'm not scared, and this is a great site that shouldn't have anything to worry about when it comes to other cruise sites out there.

Web 2.0 baby...the internet is changing.
