I was on the Princess site trying to send a gift bottle of champagne to
some friends of our daughter's on their first cruise, but I have run in

Any comments?  We're looking at a Dec Western Caribbean itn.  It's
gotten mixed reviews.
It's either that or 4 or 5 nights at Secrets Capri.

I notice that Costco is now marketing their own brand of Kirkland

We're taking a cruise in November with four Mexican ports -- Acapulco,
Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa and Cabos San Lucas.  We've been told (true or
