I have so many questions for you seasoned cruise travelers.
Looking to go to the Mediterranean in April.  Weather-wise will this be
OK?
Also, trying to decide between Oceania and Seabourn.  Know they're in

Sue, having read about the Viking cruises you promote, could you do us a
favor and expand on what they include and when the next one will be?  We
talk about other cruises here in r.t.c., but I really don't recall
reading (or comprehending) anything about your Viking ones.  They ...

We've danced in the lounges on 5 different Princess cruises and and
always found a good mix of music and people. My husband wants to try
Celebrity. Have any of you danced on any Celebrity ships? We're in our
50's so not looking for techno and disco. Would especially like to hear

Hi, We got back from cruise on caribbean princess this sunday and it was
a rough time. Seas were rough and winds strong. 7-9 ft it registered on
captains log for the atlantic ocean. We went to eastern caribbean and we
were on port side, aloha deck, last cabin. So glad we made it ...

we are doing the 11 day Cooke Island cruise from Papeete in late January on
the Tahitian Princess. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of good
sites or tours to see? Any to avoid?
thanks

We returned home this afternoon from 10-nt Panama Canal cruise on Brilliance
OTS. It was wonderful!  Up to my eyeballs in laundry, but will post a full
review in the next couple of days.

My husband and I just returned from our 10-night Panama Canal cruise on the
Brilliance of the Seas.  This had been a very long-awaited cruise vacation,
and it was worth the wait.  We departed BWI for Miami on Wednesday, November
29th and spent two nights in South Beach Miami ...

Which is a better shoreX for first time visitor: Uxmal or Chichen Itza?
Thanks

I read in several reviews that there are longer lines on NCL cruise
lines than on most others.  Is that true?  How does their cabin size
compare to RCCL or Holland America?
Thanls.

Going on a Tahitian Princess cruise in February, part of a lengthy
South Pacific trip where luggage weight will make a difference.  Can
anyone tell me what people are wearing on the two standard formal
nights?  Tuxes and gowns or something less pretentious and approporiate

Looks like a yet another cruise with several hundred sick passengers.
Seems like this is the norm any more, rather than the exception. All I
know is that I am going to wash my no less than a 100 times a day while
on the Coral Princess during my upcoming Panama Canal Cruise.

We can get a really low fare on NW to get to our cruise,  but I've heard
that their service is about 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest.
Think we should take a chance with them?
Any comments?

Quite a few posts have been made concerning the ability of salt air to make
people swell up during a week or more at sea. I myself have measured this
