  1. dooba, welcome to this Crazy board. We're not the biggest cruise board, but we're the friendliest. Post often, and soon your inside stateroom will be upgraded to an outside, then a veranda, etc. Have fun here--we do!

  5. 1) Smaller ships with larger staterooms and bathtubs in every stateroom. 2) Better itineraries in early to mid November, the month when we have the most vacation time available. (There are far too many TransAtlantics, drydocks, and charters in November, making our choices very limited.) 3) All inclusive pricing.
  6. We're glad you like it. As you'll see, there are a lot of groaner jokes here on Cruise Crazies.

  8. HI! This is Joan. I live a VERY dull life - but when I tell people I'm a part-time reference librarian I add that I try to sell on Ebay. By day, I'm a mild-mannered librarian, with a conservative haircut, glasses, and grim clothes. By night, I'm "packratgiveaway" on Ebay, the delight of the discerning consumer. Yes, I pride myself on offering the lowest prices in any class for any item. If I'm selling something you want, buy from me. I package carefully, add bonuses, and give positive feedback. :grin:

  10. OK, lots of us are here. Where's the party? We're on our third glasses of wine, but no party.
  11. I've just walked in the door, so I'm signing on before I even eat dinner. Joan and I will raise our glasses of wine and toast this Crazy five year old board.

  15. While I've been to Rome and Florence, it was so long ago (1960) that my memory is too fuzzy to be helpful. I was last in Venice about 20 years ago. Gondolas are lovely, if a bit expensive and touristy. I would opt for a trip to Piazza San Marco, with a side trip a few feet to the Bridge of Sighs and the Doge's Palace. Then I'd walk along the Grand Canal looking at the palazzos and the Rialto bridge, with a few trips to the smaller canals. Last, I'd take a Vaporetto around the city a bit. Our best time in Nice was on Cimiez hill, seing the Matisse Museum and the amazing Roman ruins. The flower garden was also great, and we had a wonderful meal at La Bouscase, which is right on the street with the flower market. Great salade Nicoise, wonderful house wine, all outdoors in November. Away from Nice, the St. Paul de Vence excursion was the<] highlight of the trip, and we placed a stone on Chagall's grave. Barcelona? Wander through the old town, ending (as pointed out by JBond) at the gothic cathedral, which we liked much better than the Gaudi church. We were lucky enough to catch some people dancing ths Sardana in fronth of the cathedral.

  18. Thanks. Crazies are far better "uppers" than any pills!
  19. Crazies have no doubt detected more than a little bit of negativity in our posts lately. It's hard to be upbeat when your company has announced that it's restating prior years, when you keep losing vacation days, and when it's mid-August and the company hasn't yet released its 2005 results (with the tax return due in 4 weeks and not yet started). We'll try to do better and be more upbeat. 99 days until our Noordam cruise, which makes us DDMs; but neither of us really believes that the cruise will happen. I guess we'll believe it when we step onboard. Meanwhile, the cheery messages here keep us going. Thanks, gals and guys!<]
