The Final Four starts this week, so I'm going to avoid downtown Indianapolis for the week! The closest I'll get is seeing the RCA dome from the 11th floor of the hospital--good enough for me! Like April, my near and dear conference--the Big 10--isn't represented either, although one of my alma-maters, Purdue, has a girls team is still in the running (unfortunately my other one--Indiana--doesn't even have a basketball coach). We're kind of on the fence, April, as far as DCL. We stil have kids that enjoy the cruise (although three of them will probably "age-out" by the time we go in another year), but I'm not sure 1/3-1/2 more per person is worth the cost when you have RCCL and CCL with something for everyone. We had a family discussion about three weeks ago and everyone seemed pretty ambivalent about it. They loved DCL, but that was their first cruise so they had nothing to compare it to and they realized that there would still be fun activities on the other two cruise lines. A friend of mine is a regular CCL cruiser and said that the kids programs are very good on the newer ships and CCL has done a lot to make families feel welcome. I still have a preference for RCCL if we don't go DCL but we'll see. That's about all for now. Take care everyone!
