We certainly feel blessed everytime we book another cruise or board another ship.

Ray - Bermuda is my all time favorite port and one of the places I never get tired of visiting. I'd go again tomorrow if I could.

The Canada/New England cruises were wonderful. We did it 2 years in a row, same itinerary, same week of the year even. First time we had 12" of snow in Quebec - second year it was in the high 70's.

What would you give up on a cruise to help keep the prices lower?

TTFN. We probably won't log back on before we leave for our cruise.

Let's see if I remember them all. Alaska includes the ports we're about to visit.

Alaska: Vancouver, Victoria, Seward. Sitka, Skagway, Valdez, Hubbard Glacier, Juneau, Ketchikan.

Bermuda: Hamilton, St. George

Europe: Nice, Villefrance, Palma, Ibiza, Lisbon, Portimao, Malaga, Marsellles, Sete, Tangier, Amsterdam, Arnhein, Antwerp, and five or six others.

Caribbean and Central America: Tampa, Puerto Limon, Colon, Panama Canal, Grand Cayman, Barbados, Grenada, Dominica, Tobago, St. Maartin, Pigeon Island, Mayreau, and several others.

What would you give up on a cruise to help keep the prices lower?

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!! I don't know that there's anything cruise connected that could be given up to lower the price.

Personally:

1. I stopped using the internet during a cruise to keep up with the people at home that I wanted to keep up with. Text messaging cost next to nothing for communicating with family on the same phone network.

2. I do without cokes during a cruise and drink tea and water which is better for you anyway.

3. I don't do the specialty restaurants as I think the food in the dining rooms are great.

4. As we've cruised more, I've realized that all those on board ship purchases are totally unnecessary.

5. I decided not to buy booze to bring home.

6. We don't need to do the spa treatments on board ship - we have places at home that are as good but cost less. However - Louise is absolutely not going to miss her weekly hair appointment just because we're on a cruise and I surely wouldn't think of suggesting it even though she could go twice at home versus once on board ship - LOL!!!

7. I like my cocktails and wine aboard ship and the prices really aren't bad but I can save money here very easily.

8. I'm not going to do an inside cabin to save money - That's not an option.

As I said - I've learned these few items as we've cruised but they have cut down expenses significantly.
