It's been years since I've had the opportinity to get away and a friend talked me into making the time. I've been in the Caribbean quite a bit (way back) but never on a cruise, very excited. Hoping a lot of the neg stuff i read is just your basic.. neg stuff. One thing I did see was the 'food sucks' theme but I live in Manhattan and can get the best of anything I want any hour of the day. I can't sit in a private balcony 100 feet over the sea with a book and bottle of wine or frozen drink by side with nothing but sea and sky in front of me. Might not even get me off my balcony
