Is Carnival Cutting Corners on Maintenance?

Good to see your post Ray.

Laundry

If you fold each item in half then tightly roll you will fit a huge

We took the Mother's Day cruise on the Legend and returned home Sunday,

Back from Constellaton, long

What a wonderful 13 day cruise for the four of us. We had cabins on the

only a few steps from some of our favorite places. ...

Oasis and Great Belt Bridge

We are leaving in a few days for our cruise on the Constellation. 13

Punarenas, Costa Rica

Alan
