We're booked on the 2/19/05 for a surprise 50th for hubby and taking along my 12 year old. First timers, we are.... I do hope though that the 'bugs' I have read about on cruisemates.com are all worked out by then. Seems b/c this ship has over 3,000 on it there are lines, poor food, etc, and posts claim to need more staff. But I have confidence that this may be due to her maiden voyage just last month, and since I don't know from anything else I am hoping we all have a great time. I'm hoping the 12 year old keeps busy since he'll be alone with us but makes friends easily....anyone else joining us on the 2/19 to Eastern Car?
My wife and I are also going on the May 29th sailing on the Caribbean Princess along with some of the others on this chat board. Very much looking forward to being on a new boat. This will be my 5th cruise and my wife's 2nd. From most of the reviews I've read, even though the boat can hold alot of passengers, it doesn't feel too crowded. And now that the Caribbean has several voyages under her belt most of the problems should be worked out and the crew should be pretty comfortable with everything. Maybe we will run into some of you cruise-chat members on the boat.
