If you have time to email during a cruise, or even to think about doing it, perhaps it is better to stay home....
That same thought occurred to me on my first cruise in December. I actually snuck away from work for the week - flew under the radar and didn't tell anyone cause I knew I could handle the work by email. Rather a drag sitting there working at a desk while all around me were doing the right thing & having FUN on the FUN ship.
I even ended up grading a student's (late) assignment in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico - otherwise he may not have gotten a final grade in order to graduate.
Never again!

Fortunately, we had less adventures arriving at our home, than Phil & Liz did! Wow! It was probably a sign that he should have just stayed on the ship!
This was an incredible cruise! Lots of laughs and very little sleep! Snoozeman was a wonderful host. Team Cruisemates came in 2nd in the Team Trivia Challenge (but should have been 1st). Out of their goodness, they allowed another team extra time for a question. That team won by 1 point!
This group cruise was planned because so many of us enjoyed being together on the Blog2Nola cruise. Seeing our friends again was the icing on this cruise cake!
Again, I must say, if you haven't done a group cruise, do one! It will certainly add to your fun!

Next year if you cruise out of California I bet I can get Crazysis to come. She was bummed to miss this cruise. She had a blast on the blogger cruise. I want to go also. I wonder if my hubby would trust me to go with Crazysis.

Great cruise and a lot of fun! We were home in San Antonio by 2:30 on a sunny 70 degree day. As a shy reserved person who behaved well, i can't wait to see the pictures of the party the last afternoon.
Snooze, GREAT JOB!, Carole and I had a blast. This group continues to raise the cruise bar. Not to mention visiting it quite a bit during the cruise. Mike

All right! For those of you wanting evidence that some *ahem* alcohol was consumed on this cruise, here it is. I discovered that just about every picture has an alcoholic beverage in it. What do you guess that means?
I was down for awhile fighting off a bug. Feel much better now.
WOW, what a great cruise and it was so nice to see everybody again after Blogger cruise and meet new friends on this one.
Great job, Ray, hosting this great adventure and to you Darlene, posting all the great pictures. I kinda agree with you...."Booze Cruise" instead of Snooze Cruise. Really enjoyed the balcony parties, our private party, Cozumel Bar Hop and who can forget the fun farwell get together in Degas Lounge the last day at sea!! With all the drinks Carnival provided, it's a wonder I made it for dinner that night. Took me two days to recover from that one.

You beat me to it!!!!! That was going to be my response.....
"Now, who are YOU????"
For those not with us, I hadn't met Linda before, and when she joined us, I very politely asked *in my alcohol induced state* "Now, who are you?" For the remainder of the cruise, it became our standard greeting.
And yep, Linda, you were there! Be glad I edited my pictures before posting!
