Hi fellow cruisers,
I just looked at my countdown clock and we have 82 days until we set
sail on the....NCL Spirit...RTC's  "Great Group Cruise 2005"! Are you as
excited as I am?

We will be taking our 2nd cruise and we havent taken the 1st yet (going on a

I'm looking for a nice hotel in Ft. Lauderdale that allows folks that
drive to leave their vehicle at the hotel while cruising and has hotel

flu onboard their ship.  Does the cruise line do anything to prevent

through it because they can't get a refund on cancellation (unless ...

The cruise industry's legal attacks on the initiative are going
nowhere, fast.  We're going to tax 'em whether they like it or

Paul Gauguin, Tahiti's tourism industry is still faced with an uphill
battle. The P&O 700-passengerTahitian Princess is scheduled to end its
10-day cruises in French Polynesia in April 2006.

MIA! Let's hope mother nature will relent and the 3-5 more inches of
snow forecasted will not delay our flight! Setting sail on the
Imagination on Thursday to Key West & Cozumel. Will report about the

My wife and I are sailing on the Explorer Jan. 30th for Belize City, Costa
Maya, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman.  We've never been to Belize or Costa Maya
and would like to hear from some fellow cruisers who have taken excursion

When I went to Comcast they directed me to Outlook Express that I have
on my computer already. Outlook Express 6 to be exact. Before I fill
anything in, it sounds like I'll be receiving mail. As I said, I do NOT
want to receive mail to a mailbox. I merely want to read an reply as

Niagara Falls is one of the best places in the USA
