Travel Forum / Travel Types / Cruises / February 2006

We were on Star in December and loved the ship so much we booked another
cruise on her in November.  We heard on our last cruise that the Star will
get updated and get the big screen, like they did with Grand Princess.  Has
anyone heard when this is going to happen?

Does anybody know of someone who had taken the 30-day Holland American 2006
cruise on the Amsterdam last month or how I'd go about getting one?

We are visiting Domonica on the Canival Destiny during the April 30th
sailing.  Domonica looks like a nice place to visit.  Anyone have a
suggestion on what to see or do on the island?
Any info is appreciated.

interest.  If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are

My in-laws are going to a Mexico cruise in 3 weeks, and will return to
the US in April.  They couldn't locate their Naturalization Certificate
so they have to use their passports.  They found out that their
passports are going to expire in June.  We know that they will have no

If so what was your take on the auction.
 I have read a few threads on cruise critic lately about them and the
wine auctions sound just as bad as the art auctions on other lines.

You don't have to be flying out of the cold, gray North to be delayed
by weather.
A friend flew Austin to San Jose on the 12th.  Yeah, it was a little
cool and some early rain, but his flight was delayed three hours due

To Whom It May Concern:
We came across this information from the trades and thought it would be of
interest to this newsgroup as well. If this is somehow a repeat of an
earlier post, sorry we missed it. This can always be ignored or deleted.

Hey all
I am going a cruise to Panama Canal next year on the Coral Princess. I
was told by friend to use the excursions provided by Princess, as a
guide and then an iternet search to see if I could find them cheaper

Has anyone called a cab from a ship debarking in Ft. Lauderdale to take them
to the airport?   How long does it take for a cab to pick you up and get you
to the airport?  I was looking at a 10:40AM flight out of FLL airport.  This
would be for 6 people.  Any price ideas?
