Frieda.......welcome. I didn't find out about these boards until after our 2nd cruise. The ships are AWSOME. The look on my DD's faces when they see "the ship" in the distance from the bus is un-replaceable. I get goose bumps just picturing the AWE and excitement in their faces. You can't put a price-tag on that. Your only regret will be that you didn't take a longer cruise!!!!!
