I am considering a 12 day cruise on the RC Brilliance of the Seas in
September 2007.  It leaves from Barcelona and visits ports in Italy,
France, Croatia and Greece. Any comments on this cruise will be
appreciated.

Each TSA person should be made more accountable for his/her uniform..
How can you misplace the uniform that you are wearing?  Sheesh!

From time to time people ask about travel insurance. We recently had to make
a claim so I would like to share the experience.

At that time, we always purchased trip insurance from Access America.

Both parents taking two early teens on an Alaskan Cruise that will end
on June 30, 2007. The kids passports will expire early February 2008.
Don't want to renew until then so that when the next 5 yr. expiration
comes up, they will be able to get adult passports. So, what's the

We have booked a cruise with HAL.  Our assigned room is an inside room on
the Main Deck.  We have asked about upgrading our room and the TA seems
reluctant to do this.  My question is why is she reluctant.  She keeps
trying to talk me out of it.  Thanks in advance.

Looking for a female travel companion, in 40's age range, moderately

My family just booked a 5 day cruise on Royal Carribean.that leaves Ft.
Lauterdale on 12.22.07.  There will be 20 of us all together.  Has anyone

Just wanted to report on our latest cruise, this time on the NCL Dawn out of
NYC.
In summary, we had a great time, but there were some things to comment on.
The good parts:

My wife and I are cruising on the Carnival Valour at the end of February and
one of the ports of call is St Maarten. We have signed up for an excursion
called Best of St. Maarten Island & Beach Combo. It's a bus tour of the
island including visits to the French side of the island ...

We took the Western Med cruise from Barcelona at the end of June,
2006. The Norwegian Jewel is a new ship, less than a year old, and is
a wonderful ship in excellent condition. It is also a huge ship,
carrying over 2,000 passengers plus a crew exceeding 1,000.

We will be in London for a few days at the end of our cruise.
I have looked at web sites on line and found references to an Oyster
card.  Has something changed since my last trip to London a few years
ago?  Here is one link that is confusing to me.

Just reported that the volendam returned to port in Florida with 112 sick
passengers and 1 dead passenger. Sounds like they had one hell of a good
time.
Some gastro-intestinal outbreak hit the passengers and crew and up to 112
