    I'll be happy to share the details, MaryLou!
    It's a 7-day cruise RT from Boston to Halifax, Saint John, NB, Bar Harbor and Portland with 2 sea days. I am excited on so many levels. I've always wanted to do a NE/Canada cruise, but living in RI, I didn't want to travel south for a cruise north from NY to Boston - just didn't make much sense. It's my first time on Royal Caribbean, my first time on a cruise without the hubby, I don't need to fly anywhere, and, yes, Debbie, there will be leaf peeping involved!
    The best part? I was able to take advantage of the senior special being offered on that sailing! I guess that makes me "seasoned"!

    Jason - I just listened to your interview. It's nice to put a voice with the face behind those Foster-Grants! Great job explaining the site and our friendly community. By the way, the suspense is killing me - what are these great new features coming in January? (or were they already announced and I missed it?)

    Welcome to Cruise Crazies. I will also be sailing RCI for the first time in the fall, on the Brilliance of the Seas. We can learn together.

    Earlier this month I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Fran Silverman, host of "Ship to Shore Cruise Radio" talk show. It was a great 30 minute discussion which discusses the history of CruiseCrazies, why we are so unique, what we are known for, and a few blurbs on what's in the future plans for CruiseCrazies.
    This is just one of several media pieces dedicated to CruiseCrazies. As we continue to grow by the day, you can expect to see more coverage in the future. Listen (and view all other media coverage) here:

    Looks like a great cruise, Pam! I haven't been to the Canal yet - it's on the bucket list, though - after Alaska and the Mediterranean - and after the hubby retires from teaching ... someday.

    I wasn't a huge fan of NCL either, but the Breakaway has me excited to give them another shot. I didn't like the Epic design at all, but I like the look of Breakaway, and the hot dog carts are a big plus for getting me on board, too!

    Hi Tate -
    It's always exciting to try a new ship and a new cruise line, isn't it! I am in the process of booking another cruise in the fall on RCI's Brilliance of the Seas from Boston, which is my drive-to port. I think I remember your other post about being glad to cruise from a port close to home and how glad you were not to have to fly. I agree! It will be my first time on RCI as well! I wish you and your fiancé a wonderful cruise!

    We’ve done 4 river cruises so far and love everything about them! We’ve actually done the Paris to Normandy itinerary twice and we saw almost all different things each time – simply an amazing experience!

    Jan115 got a reaction from rrpcande in Caribbean cruises leave wave of bitter merchants   
    I have spoken with many people who have a preconceived notion that Jamaica is full of drug dealers, soldiers with assault weapons, and pushy vendors. I have heard about passengers staying aboard the ship rather than to venture out. I think there are a good percentage of passengers who, unlike those of us who know better, go to the port talks and follow the cruise ship port guide like the Bible. They shop where the ship sends them because it's easier. Little do they know that you need to be a bit adventuresome to really experience a place, and the best excursions are the ones you create for yourself, maybe a little off the beaten path.

    Michael & Amy -
    I am with you on the west coast expansion. I would need a reason to fly out to California for a short cruise. Alaska is the only reason I will fly out west for a cruise!

    We’re big fans of the planning too – it’s all part of the fun of traveling for us. We’ve also found that a good travel agent can be a huge help!

    Good afternoon!
    Just 30 minutes to go until I leave work for the day! Forgot to take something out of the freezer, so it looks like I'll have to be creative!
    My little blog has a new home featured here among friends. Awwwww- makes my heart go all a-flutter! Feels good to do my part in attracting more traffic across this site.
    Not only do I have Christmas shopping to finish, but I also have a baby shower to plan! Kristin and I were talking and she brought up the subject. She is a music teacher, and because the busiest time of year is spring, I wanted to plan something at the end of Feb break or the beginning of April break. She is due May 11. A shower in the 3rd week of April is rather late, so we're going with Feb., which is kinda early, but doable. I am relieved that it's not a surprise - makes everything easier!
    Rose - thoughts and prayers go out to your dad. Holidays are hectic as it is, but even more stressfull when family illness strikes.
    Have a good evening.

    Roger,
    Enjoyed your review and your fantastic photos. Thanks for sharing! My daughter and her husband did the same itinerary on this ship in July. They had a great time, though did not enjoy Carnival as much as Princess, the only line they sailed previously. However, they did LOVE old San Juan and the southern Caribbean islands.

    Enjoyable reading - I think we all can identify. My weaknesses are desserts, pizza and the entire International Cafe on Princess ... oh my!

    Jan115 got a reaction from TheSkipper in New Video Up for the New Royal Princess-Any Thoughts?   
    I've noticed the Princess forum has been a bit quiet, so I thought I'd get some dialogue going. Princess just added a new video to their website showing off more new features of the new Royal. What do you think of the design, and do you have any plans to sail her when she debuts next summer? The maiden voyages are nearly sold out (if not already), but I have staked my place on a 12-day Mediterranean in August. I am very excited about some features, but no so much for others. I am sad to see the removal of the Aft adult pool, for instance, but I am happy that they are improving upon the Piazza, making it larger and grander.
    What are your thoughts?

    Jan115 got a reaction from deb1220 in Cruise Line Can't Build New Ships Fast Enough   
    I'm not a fan of the new, huge mega ships that are the trend today, but I do like the design of the new Breakaway and Getaway, and feel they are big improvements over the Epic. Epic's cabin design, specifically the odd bathroom setup, just doesn't do it for me.
