Just want to thank Copper10-8 for the marvelous history of the Emerald Seas. Sorry it had to end, but she certainly gave all she had to the world!

I'll always remember her.

It makes me feel great to find out that there are so many people out there who remember the Emerald Seas.

This was my first (and only) cruise, so I had nothing to compare it to prior to stumbling on this forum. Of course, my cruise was in the early 70s, and I was convinced it was the greatest ship ever! And I still don't want anything to tarnish that memory.

We are now considering a 6-8 day cruise from the West Coast of Florida to the Caribbean or even South America. Seems to be the least expensive way for us right now.

Any hints about the best (and most economical) cruises out of Tampa - or warnings about things to stay away from?

Thanks very much.
