Here's an interesting 4 question test to help pick a cruise line.

Let us know what comes up as an answer.

It will be interesting to validate what the Travel Agent tells you vs. what
the test give you.

I played with the 4 questions but never able to have it select Royal
Caribbean.

Lee,

I'm sure you make a good point. I erred. It's just that all of our cruises
from the east coast of Florida have been Eastern. I always think of Western
itineraries departing from Tampa (and NOLA, Galveston, Houston, etc.).

Anyway, I hope Flores finds a great cruise match, whether Western, Eastern,
Southern or otherwise!

similar.


?????

Whaddya mean? I've taken six cruises out of south Florida (Ft.
Lauderdale or Miami). Five of those have been termed "Western
Caribbean" itineraries. Some ships alternate. I know that this past
Summer, the HAL Zuiderdam was doing one week eastern, one week western.
Not sure if that's still the case.

Hi, Sue. Thanks for stopping to say "hello" and offer a kind comment. It's a
mutual admiration society around here, LOL.

Nice to see you here with us this week. I'm guessing you and Kevin are
suffering a bit of withdrawal over not being out with the GGC'ers.

Hey, Flores, our pleasure. RTC is full of friendly folks. Make sure you come
back to tell us what you picked! Or if you narrow it down to a couple of top
contendors, we'll be happy to offer some pros/cons as to each!

Take care,

Diana

Thanks Diana!!

We are too busy getting ready for the MOAGC2, so no withdrawal over
the GGC.LOL We are leaving in the morning to spend a night in Fort
Lauderdale and join some cruise friends for dinner. Then sunday we are
off on the Celebrity Infinity, a class of ship we have wanted to try.
Then when we get back, it is another night in Fort Lauderdale before
flying home. Taking the extra day at the end, saved us a lot on plane
fare and the hotels on both ends are booked with points, so it is a
win, win situation for us.

I hope that one of these days you and your family will cruise with us!!
