I went to that website http://www.oceana.org and it seems that Royal Caribbean has made some changes since that campaign against them was started in 2003. I'd check out the website--it seems to have some interesting information and you could probably find out about other cruise lines on there.

I'd have to say amaretto & OJ or a 007 (Orange Vodka, Orange juice and 7-up). I love them on land or at sea!!

Anyone going on this? Looks interesting, but I don't have the money for it... Apprentice Cruise on Carnival I was curious, is this something that is done often? (tv show casts on cruises?) If so, has anyone ever been on one? How are they?

I was going through some past forums and wondered--what ever happened with the two of you? Are you still going on with the cruise...are you friends again? I see you've posted some other questions, so it looks like you're still going. Hope things are going well!

I've never been on the Splendor of the Seas before, but I've cruised Royal Caribbean--my first and only cruise so far. My friend and I went on the Majesty of the Seas, and I had a wonderful time! I'm hoping to go on another cruise this summer, and I'm planning on RCCL again. I thought the food was very good...certainly not the best I'd ever had, but it was decent, and there were a lot of choices each evening. The rooms were small but as everyone says, you hardly spend any time in there so it really doesn't matter. There were definitely children on board, but not an overwhelming amount of them, so they really weren't a bother. I thought the best part of the RCCL cruise (and this may be all cruise lines, I don't know) was the friendly staff and the variety and amount of things to do each day. Although we were on a short cruise (3 nights), I never got bored, and I never had to make any extensive plans since the cruise provided all the fun things to do. I hope you have a great time on yours! :smiley:

Thanks all! Knowing this information (that we won't freeze while we're out there) will hopefully make some of my first time cruising friends more interested! Since we live in the NY/NJ area, it's just so convenient to sail right from there.

In July I'm planning on taking a cruise on RCCL to Halifax, NS which leaves from New Jersey. Just wondering if anyone has done something like this before--would the water be particularly choppy and will it be much colder than a typical July in NJ (mid-80's)? I've been on one cruise before in the Caribbean and didn't mind being on the boat (calm waters) but I've heard things about the choppy northern Atlantic. Does the time of year you go have anything to do with it? Any answers/experiences would be welcome!
