Never cruised before.
I'm a Brit looking to book a Royal Caribbean cruise for August 2009.

their new title is assistant waiter.

Going on the Glory in Aug. Would like to do some Snorkeling. Any
recommendations . Going to Nassau, St. Thomsa., St. Marteen.Any info
will be greatly appreciated.

Wondering when Carnival documents come.
18 days before my cruise. Fun Pass is complete.
When I go to the My Documents Page it lists my booking #, Cabin and
