Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Thought I would price up the crazies cruise as I have vacation time in September. Unfortunatly its over £3000 including the airfare, so I think I will have to give it a miss. Perhaps one year you will all get over to europe. Anyway take care all Chris

Swine flu cruise ship quarantined Venezuela has quarantined a visiting cruise ship following an outbreak of swine flu on board. More than 1,200 passengers and crew will be kept on board the Spanish-owned Ocean Dream, which has docked at the Venezuelan island of Margarita. They were stopped from disembarking at previous stops in Barbados and Grenada after three crew members were diagnosed with the flu virus. Eleven more crew members are reported to have symptoms. "The virus was detected in three crew members and the boat must now stay in quarantine until June 24," said Venezuelan health official Jorge Alchaer. Ocean Dream is managed by the Spanish tour operator Pullmantur. Miami-based Royal Caribbean, which owns Pullmantur, said it could not comment on the situation. The passengers' nationalities were not immediately known.

Wonderful review Donna, cant wait to read the rest of it.

Shaunna and Steve, have a really great time. Sink a couple of pints for me.

When we sailed on Thomson Destiny (nee - Song of America), Aaron my son had his date of birth on his cruise card. The staff were very strict on ensuring that no underage people drank.

The 18 - 20 age group can be an awkward age group anywhere but tied to a cruise ship for some time could be boring. RCI have the waverider and golf etc but if they are not sporty it could be difficult. Most English kids of that age group like to go to clubs and bars so generally thats what my kids would do on a cruise. Uk and european cruise lines allow drinking from the age of 18. RCI although generally applying drinking from the age of 21 do on european cruises allow parents to opt their children out so that they can drink from 18. ( this may also only be for europeans, I am not 100 % sure)

Would love to meet all my friends from across the pond, how about a european cruise crazies cruise sometime so we could all meet

Have a great cruise and reunion, take care.

Hi Joey, Have a really great cruise, am totally green with envy, take care.

I love to wear my dress suit (tux) on formal nights and suits for informal. Tend to wear jeans or trakkies the rest of the year so look forward to it. Get to wear my dress suit 2 or 3 times a year at industry or foundry institution do's. The wife loves her LBD's and has several of them, in England knee length dresses are known as cocktail dresses and full length dresses as gowns.
