Oh, goodie!:) That is great news. Thanks so much. Do tell about the "challenging passengers" :D Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

every cruise we take there seems to be a small minority of passengers that feel compelled to complain about something...on the emerald one has to REALLY look hard to find something that isnt perfect....but as always ...you wiil hear the complainers...

2 examples..guy in the buffet...plate overflowing with food ...packed so high ,if you packed snow on the plate you could ski off it!!! his comment?...the food really has been bad on dis cruise"..

or the crowed dining room with staff working their butts off trying to please the passengers....a table mate's comment?.." i have been here 10 minutes (actually it was 4 minutes)..and they havent take our order yet.. this is totally unacceptable"...

my wife and i found another table....

with regret we just diembarked the emerald on saturday...the ship was in GREAT shape, the crew was wonderful, in spite of some "challenging" passengers...we were in an inside room and it was not difficult to hook a dvd or a camera up to the new television...enjoy your cruise!

we have been on board for 11 days now..we usually do the buffet and generally the quality of food...and service...has been very good...

we are hearing the usual complaints from a FEW passengers who are expecting cunard quality entrees on a lower cost cruise line...

after 30 plus cruises i agree with those who have mentioned food varies from ship to ship..

the phrase about champagne taste on a beer budget comes to my mind..

thank you for the daily posts...they certainly will help us prepare for our upcoming first river cruise.

My folks are pretty travel saavy and always make sure to place cheese in front of their neighbors door.

NOW THATS FUNNY !! thanks for the laugh! terry
