We loved Dave on Explorer 1 1/2 years ago. We were picked as the middle couple in the Love and Marriage Show. I don't think I ever laughed so hard. Tears were rolling down my face almost the whole time. I couldn't answer the questions because I was laughing. Just watched the video again today so my future son-in-law could see it:eek:. (He might not want to marry my daughter now)

Lost my Chamilia on my cruise last week:(. I just got it as a mother's day gift from my children.

We love promenade rooms when we don't have a balcony. They are great for people watching, parade watching. Just remember to draw the drapes. People can see in:eek:

I bought a diamond ring and diamond tennis bracelet in Grand Cayman. When I got home I had it appraised at a jewerly store that I trust in my area. They appraised the pieces for almost 3X's what I paid. The gemologist told me that the diamonds are very high quality and I got quite a deal when I told him how much I paid. I did not buy them at Diamonds International but at a wonderful, independent jewlery store called Magnums. The designer and his brother I believe own the store. They had very unique pieces of jewelery. I saw a similar bracelet at DI that was more than double what I paid.

When I insured the pieces, my agent told me that he has a lot of clients that buy jewelery in the caribbean because of the prices. The store I went to did not have a middleman to jack up the prices.

Another fan here. He really helped me when I became very ill last X-mas on Jewel. He checked up on me most of the trip. Great guy.

Just off the Jewel X-Mas with Joff Eaton. He is pretty new to RCCL. He and his wife came from P+O, a British cruise line. Not sure what his wife does but she works on the ship too.

He was wonderful. Very quick with the jokes, very funny. He was also very approachable. I have never seen a CD talk to passengers like he and his staff. They were the friendliest staff we have ever had. They really got to know the passengers. They were constantly talking and sharing with anyone and everyone.

The entire crew on this trip was unbelievably nice. You couldn't walk past anyone with out them saying "hello, how are you today?" I don't know if this was because it was an X-mas cruise or that is just the way they are.

I always wondered about her. We sailed on her June 1994. It was our kids 1st cruise and our 2nd. We are all going on the Navigator of the Sea this June. It will be our 5th and the now adult children's 2nd.:)
