1. Craps -- Great on a cruise ship because you see the same people over and over and make some friends. 2. Blackjack

Every time in Roatan, I grab a cab and go to the golf course. No problem with the cab rides, nor the folks at the course.

Went to a party on the Miracle in April. Drinks only. I can do without the party or the OBC, but if they do away with the free laundry the other cruise lines will be looking better.

Personally wish they would bring the BJ tournaments back. Won twice and it's a lot of fun if you play BJ. Would have qualifying rounds over 3 - 4 hours and top 7 winners would play at a final table. Generally would have 2 tournaments on a 7-day cruise.

I like to make arrangements for personal excursions (i.e., golfing) when we go on cruises. Got messed up on last cruise to Cabo in April by not appreciating the difference between ships time and real time. The itinerary said we would dock in Cabo at 10 AM, but it was really 11 AM in Cabo. Had to quickly cancel my tee time and transportation reservations. The US changes to Daylight Savings Time adds confusion to this issue as well. We're going on a Panama Canal cruise leaving out of Galveston (CDT) in October. Wondering if anyone had any experience with how those ships will manage ships time. Will it stay on CDT or convert to the current time zone? Thanks for any help.

Trying to stay off ledge myself.

Took the Miracle down to Cabo and Ensenada in early April, and primarily Americans. Mostly from western states and/or mid-west.
