Welcome aboard, Bodger!

One of my co-workers was supposed to leave Sunday for a weeklong visit to Key West. She spent today changing reservations, and looking for another place to visit. My thoughts are with those in the affected areas. Stay safe, everyone.

No cruise. :cry: It's a conference... Glad I'm going down a day early. I have no idea what sort of weather-related delays we'll encounter.

Wish me luck, everyone. I'm flying to Jacksonville tomorrow... :shocked:

I just took a look at the deck plans for Sapphire Princess, and it appears that all of the balconies on Caribe Deck are the larger ones. We stayed in a standard balcony cabin on the Caribe Deck of Diamond Princess, a near-sister ship to Sapphire Princess. Yes, the balcony was large. It was half covered (by the balconies one deck above) and half open. The cabin itself was on the small side, yet the abundance of space on the balcony more than made up for it.

Bon voyage, Buffetfan2000! Enjoy your cruise on Carnival Destiny!

Well said, GottaCruz! We do exactly the same thing with our son. We've done our best to instill in him that all decisions have consequences. At his age, taking away computer privileges at home, or an afternoon of swimming on a cruise, seems to do it. Although he has cognitive impairments, this still works well. (He's 11, with about a 4-year delay.) Sometimes, he'll start to misbehave, but then he'll catch himself and say, "I'm better now. Can we go to the pool?" So, I know he gets it. Very often, pax from neighboring tables in the dining room will approach us at the end of the cruise and compliment our son on his good behavior. That means a lot to all of us. Positive reinforcement does a lot, too. :smiley:

Congratulations Lisa! A great intinerary on a newly refurbished ship has just gotten closer. :smiley: The Canadian Maritime Provinces are among my favorite places to visit. We've cruised there several times, so I'm happy to answer any questions. I'm too lazy to look this up... what are your ports of call?

Nice review, Cheryl! Thank you for sharing your comments. If only I lived closer to the port...

Congratulations on your new booking! We've been jumping from line to line the past few years, finally tried Princess earlier this year (Diamond) and loved it. I'm sure you will, too. :smiley:
