[QUOTE="area43, post: 247736, member: 4862"] Cheryl, I love you. LOL Anyhow, great post. We've been on 2 cruises. First was with NCL, Norwiegn Cruise Line. The ship was called the Norway. It was a Big, long, and beautiful ship. Size does matter. LOL It was an older ship built I would say in the 60's perphaps. The back wasn't chopped off like the other cruise ships. The ship was originally owned and built by the French. It had a very European touch. We really loved it. It was a deep hulled vessel so all trips to the shore was done by tenders(smaller boats to shuttle you to shore). A little more time consuming but that was OK. We also liked how the staff consisted of people from all over the world. Truely International. Great ports. Great everything. I read a couple of years ago the ship caught fire. Being an older ship they decided to cut it up and sell the metal. Too, costly and out dated to fix. It was kind of sad. The second cruise was on Carnival. I'm with you Cheryl on this one. The ship had very little character. It seemed like a old worn out shoe. One big floating Pigs trough. Eat, eat, eat , eat, and eat. Anyhow, good thing they had a track up on the top deck. I would run my ass off. About 5 miles a day. The track was small. Almost get dizzy, going around in circles so much. About fell off the ship. Don't worry, just kidding. LOL I couldn't let that happen. Old Brown needs me. Cheryl, I do remember the animal towels. Its hard to dry yourself off. We didn't want to hurt the poor little animals by getting them unraveled. In closing, Scratch, Cheryl's right about the tips. If you tip by the ships guidelines, it could be an additional $300. I also was surprised by the turnaround. The ship would come in on sunday. Reload and logistics took only about 4 or 5 hours. [/QUOTE]
