George I agree with you...I am a Royal Caribbean type of Cruiser BUT I
have found that there is a cruise out there for everyone. I been on
Carnival and was looking for that LIVELY fun partying atmosphere and
WHERE the heck was it, more boring then FUN, But was it bad NO not at
all, but it was alot of older folks, and yes time of year does matter
as well as Itinerary.
I have clients who can not stand Freestyle cause they want
Traditional, but then I have others who want to go as they please....
Have a few poeple that say Never send us out of Galveston as they did
not like the People, I scratch my head and feel PEOPLE are PEOPLE, but
same as I felt I do not like going out of Ft Lauderdale so Everyone
has something that they like and DON'T LIKE so all is well....
