Dont agree with you, Apple Computers are quality built and more expensive,
Best thing is there Hardware matches the software, no painfull issues at all
Have you seen the prices in Asia, They are like 4 x the price there, and they all buy them here in USA or even Canada.
We have the lowest prices in the world on Playstations/ Computers, ect even though they are built over there.
Have both PC's and Macs Pcs are great too but need more maintenance like a chevy. lol
Take the blinders off you are on a thread about cruise ships etc..

I have a little quote that may apply..
"Show me a queer hater and I will show you a latent homosexual"
Sexually well adjusted people live and let live.
I feel sorry and pity the angry, Ignorant, hypocrites who hate and are probably trapped in loveless marriages.
The opposite of love is not hate but rather indifference.

I think that assuming every anit-gay person is a latent homosexual is about as accurate as assuming every Hollywood actor that never got married was a closet homosexual. (And once again, IMO, angry anit-gay people don't take to well to being told that the reason they hate us is because they are gay themselves.)

Not really a militant protester here either but, I see no point giving my money to someone that flat out "hates" me. .

Looking forward to The Gay Pride cruise October 16th from Port Canaveral.
I understand there are 500 gay people on The Norweigen Sun.. The ship will be over 25% gay. It should be a people watchers feast.

Hello again from Jacksonville, Fl. I am a single looking forward to two Trans Atlantic cruises this year,
May 17th 21 days on Holland American's Prinsendam.. Ft. Lauderdale to Amsterdam.
October 3rd 12 days on Norwegian Sun, Dover to Cape Canaveral.
When you consider the expense of one way air fare it makes sense to do round trip air and a cheap Trans Atlantic home.
Trips include five nights in Amsterdam and six nights in Paris...
Anyone on either of theses cruises?

If you like wine consider a wine card that reduces the cost per glass..

Six of us from Jacksonville are booked on the old tub Celebration out of Jacksonville October 15th. The last time I checked it was $360 PP ...heck you can't afford to stay at home for that price. I know it is Carnival and Carnival's oldest ship but it is dirt cheap and full of first time cruisers having the time of their life and it is fun being around so many happy people. Come join us....The more the merrier.
A friend and myself are booked on Holland American's 15 day R/T San Diego Hawaii over Christmas and New Years..
Myself and three friends are booked on Holland American's Ft. Lauderdale to Rome march 15th.
I fell in love with trans Atlantic and Pacific cruises Crossed the pacific on Seven Seas Mariner last December and trans Atlantic last April.

HAL strategy wrong? Go upmarket, better than going down market?

I love HAL’s sense of tradition, older cruisers, teak decks, art, and itineraries. I do not confuse premium cruising with traditional cruising. There is no doubt CCL has moved HAL to the mass market. CCl knows what they are doing least we forget CCL saved the HAL brand with their purchase.
If HAL would attempt to move up market their older HAL cruiser would drop them like a hot potato. Hal’s customer base of (senior) seniors would never stand for higher prices. HAL and CCL’s big problem is what happens as their older cruise base dies off. On this point I sense certain desperation in some of HAL’s cruise directors and Dutch.
I see the day coming when mass market ships like HAL give the cruise away and charge for every bed change, clean towel, all entertainment, all meals, operation of the ship etc, etc, etc. The daily service charge is just the start.
