I was recently in Barbados and took a series of photos of Crown
Princess as the clouds and the light changed over the course of the

photogenic ship and since the Grand class cruise ships are so popular,

After our Veendam cruise, we were kicking around the idea today about
another cruise this late Spring/Summer.  Here's some thoughts, and any
suggestions would be appreciated.
1) Something longer than the normal 7 or 8-day cruise.  A couple weeks

Where and when will there be a GGC2009?
There are two winter group cruises that I know of that are already
organized.  One is Sue's annual VIKING GROUP CRUISE TEN on the Liberty
of the Seas, December 8, 2007.  See

There is nothing like taking a cruise in Paradise. When you're out on
sea, you've got no worries and it's totally relaxing. Finding Cheap

WHAT KEEPS BRINGING YOU BACK TO CRUISING? i know the reason i do it
cause i love the sea and the calmness of just drifting along the waters
and the sunsets are devine.. I enjoy the pamperness of the employees and
i so enjoy just getting away..

In October my husband and I are taking a Mediterranean cruise on the
Voyager of the Seas.  This is our first European cruise and we're
wondering will our final bill be in Euros or Dollars?

Someone gave me a tip about the "Great Alaskan TourSaver" coupon book

My question, does it work? For $100 to buy the book, will I then find

Has anyone ever seen any kind of breakdown as far as Ship A uses X
gallons per 7 day voyage. Ship A has Y passengers. So, X gallons
