Thanks for so many good suggestions! Simon's was of full of experience. I would probably go off the ship too. I am considering the Carnival cruise. I am getting their invitations, of course promotions, and credits from them. It seems that I cannot start right away irrespective to all these suggestion although I was considering spring break in March. I need to find an accompanying lady for the cruise as well. Any halp from Sajha ladies for my early decision to go for a cruise. I am ready to bear 50% of your part of expenses. Don't bargain as the people in Bahamas do as written by Simon.
