RICHARD SPACEY!!!!

We think he's a great Cruise Director, hard working (we saw him rehearsing at something like 1 in the morning), and very funny

But I think he's stalking us............

My wife and I would try just about any cruise - if the price was right. We've only had one bad cruise and that was neither a Princess or RCCL. We prefer Princess and RCCL over the other lines. I think everyone here captured both Princess and RCCL - with a little bit of personal flavor added in. With vacation time at a primium (AT LEAST FOR ME), we decide who has the best price - when we can go, Who's going where we're interested in going, and whether we want to lay back and relax (Princess) or stay busy (RCCL)We see more families on RCCL than Princess - but there are still plenty of kids on every Princess Cruise I've been on. I don't think the crowd is that much older. I find it easier to relax with MUTS but there's much more to keep me busy on RCCL. One thing that I haven't seen though is - except for the Oasis - Princess has better gyms (They Both are open basically the same times, Princess Gyms are usually empty and my wife can swim in their endless pools for hours. We can Ice Skate and Rock Climb along with the gym on RCCL) THe Oasis was a whole seperate category though, The Gym was bigger than my home gym and the Track on the Prominade connected to the gym was fantastic. With that said, I love the Huge RCCL with the Promanades and the Grand Class or bigger on Princess, but if I had to go on the same sized ship - going to the same ports - I would prefer............

Celebrity!

My wife used to collect sand from all of the beaches in the Caribbean. She used Zip Loc Bags. We never had problems with customs - But we created quite the scene with TSA in Miami. They later said when the bags of sand went through the screener, it had the same consistency as explosives!
