I think we would very much enjoy each other's company on a cruise (or on land for that matter). Price and ports definitely make a difference, and even though I am pretty one-sided about the ships I prefer, in the final analysis you really make your own cruise regardless of the ship, don't you think? Hope you have a wonderful time ParrotMom and I'm sure you will, based on many of your posts that I've read.

I tend to like "mid-size ships" (Crystal/Celebrity), but would take a small ship as long as it didn't go on the ocean (really serious seasick issue). I've never wanted to go on a really big ship, but my sister booked on the Oasis, so now our whole family is going - and while I have no real desire to go to the places it stops in (been there multiple times), I think that the ship itself will be the destination, and I think it will be an interesting experience..... Plus, with the jewelry, you can get it alot cheaper in NYC when you know where to shop....

Now if somebody would just pack for Parrot Pop and myself.. Can't believe it's getting harder and harder to things together...we have amost everythng except the kitchen sink..and I'm beginning to make a list of things I've forgotten to put in or get ready Yes, Giovanna would could compare cruise notes...and this is going to be a beaut
