First Timers on the Inspiration, leaving out of Tampa on May 11, anyone else on the same cruise, would like to know.

We just got back from the Inspiration. The trip was great. Do you have any plans for excursions. If you want to see the Stingrays in Grand Caymans, I recommend Captain Marvins rather than the cruise tour. It was cheaper, longer, and less crowded. www.captainmarvins.com

Cozumel was great. We wandered around, did a little shopping. Weren't really interested in gold and jewelry, although if I could afford some of the black coral, I 'd jump in a heartbeat.

New Orleans was a experience. Bourbon Street was very interesting. Definetly not for children or faint of heart!!!

Hope you have a great time. We had perfect weather the entire trip. Hope the same for you.

Our first cruise was on the Inspiration when she sailed from New Orleans. Be glad she now sails out of Tampa.....it will be warmer. She is a lovely ship with LOTS to do and the cruise director is a nut! Be sure to swim with the rays in Grand Cayman. It is wel worth the time and investment. Something that we still talk about. (It has been over a year). The Inspiration cruise got us hooked and I'm sure it will you too, we are now booked on our 4th cruise on the Elation and will be cruising again in Frb 04. Bon voyage and relax.....you will have a blast. One thing to remember, bring at least a windreaker for those cool evenings on deck. You'll be glad you did!
