HI Everyone,

I'll be going on my first cruise ever to the Western Caribbean from March 19 to March 26 on Holland America. Any other Foderites on that particular cruise?

When and where is everyone else going? It's been so cold and dreary here in the northeast I want to dream about warm places...

Patti

Hi Patti - enjoy your trip, I'm envious. I am booked on my first Carnival cruise which goes to Canada/New England out of NYC on 9/17 and also on my 6th Princess cruise which sails for the Panama Canal on 12/14. I'm in the NE too, and we are having an unseasonably warm day today. Have you checked out www.cruisecritic.com - no doubt they have a roll call listing for your cruise here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=86 you might meet some fellow cruisers there.

I'll be off a month from today to Lisbon where I will pick up a small ship expedition cruise going to Morocco, Spain, Tunisia, Libya, Sicily and Malta. A bit of a taste of each so I can decide whether to return some day. (Probably will want to do all).

Hi Patti, We going on the Radiance,(RCCL) back to back in Nov. We've never done a back to back so I'm excited. We have the same cabin both weeks. We're in PA and it's 60 today, but cold the rest of the week.

Hi guys. We are going to Alaska in August. Can't wait. Jasmine we will be on Princess for the 1st time. Its the sapphire princess. Since you are taking them for the 6th time any advice? Thanks, Larry

Larry, obviously I'm a Princess fan, but I've never been on the Sapphire and never done Alaska so I can't offer any specific suggestions. I learn as much as I can about a specific line, ship, or itinerary from cruisecritic.com - there is a wealth of info there.

Hi Patty: Hope you enjoy your maiden voyage. Mrs. Sceneisle and I will be on Celebrity's "X-pedition" (Galapagos Islands) in June, Holland America's "Oosterdam" (Mexico) in October and the Tahitian Princess (Society, Marquesas & Tuomotu Archipelago's) in December.

Thanks Jasmine. Actually I have visited that sire as well. Looks good! I also go to the Princess web site to check out the live bridge cams. Kinda takes your mind away from the hustle of things. Cheers, Larry.

Thanks everyone who responded. I guess the majority of cruisers are over on the Cruise Critic message boards!

I'm envious of Jasmine's cruises to Canada and the Panama canal, Louise's mediterranean cruise and sceneisle's (great name) trip to the Galapagos islands. So many exciting and exotic places!

Jasmine--thanks for the link to Cruise Critics roll call list and jacketwatch I loved those bridge cams on the Princess boats!

Have a great trip everyone (I will too) and I'll be sure to post a trip report when I get back.

Patti

Patti: Me too. . Bon Voyage!

We are sailing out of Galveston to Rome on the Galaxy Trans on May 7. 2 more months to wait!
Anyone sailing with us?
