Anyone been in Cabin 7316/7319 on Destiny or 7416/7419 on
Triumph/Victory? I am about to book a cabin on the Destiny and would
love to get one of those sort after aft cabins.  Does anyone know the
layout?

Want to go on 3 night cruise with either NCL Norwegian Majesty; or Royal

Which is better?

Anyone know why the Explorer is late leaving port tonight?
Looks like they are doing something at the rear of the ship, on the webcam.

I was wondering if the NCL Star has their Lido deck (cafeteria) buffets open

Thanks,

My wife and I have a trip planned for October/November to Greece and
were thinking of taking a Royal Olympic cruise whilst there - probably
the four day version.
We were curious to know what other people's experiences are of doing

We plan to cruise out of JAX in Nov. for two 14 nt. cruises
back-to-back.
Total price, including air (from MSP), fees, taxes, and ground
trasnportation: $6014.35.

When it comes to ships, I don't care about balconies or the staterooms
for most ships. My feeling about them remains, they are like apartment
terraces for the most part. I think I'm one of the few that wouldn't be
that excited about staying in a suite or penthouse. What does my ...

I received this press release from Carnival and thought it would be of
interest.  If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are
available on my web site.  
Best regards,

I've been twice on a carraibian-cruise and found out that excursions booked
on the ship are very expensive and you can book the same excursions in the
harbours much cheaper. Mid september we sail on Serenade of the Seas on the
Alaska-cruise. I'm told that you can book a ...
