Carol,
Congratulation on your 15 cruises, along with your retirement from a major
carries. Out of curiosity, what major carries are we talking about here? As
for 15 cruises, you're catching up with me. Of course, this is nowhere near
the numbers some people on this newsgroup have, unless of course, one counts
all the people we booked as well. Unfortunately, we weren't with them. I
every much liked and welcome your response... honest, open and candid. Now
this is what this newsgroup is really suppose to be all about, to express
different opinions without reverting to insults and name calling as others
keep doing.
As for negative posts, I really have no problem with that. It is just that
so often it is associated with all this personal bashing, instead of an open
perspective and exchange of thoughts and ideas. This is why I did enjoy your
response and feedback. I have no problem with anyone who may disagree with
me for whatever reason, as long as they're not disagreeable.
Happy sailing...
John
