Thanks very much for your review, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

 

I remember reading they had a specialty dining package for 3 restaurant for $58.00, but cannot remember the three restaurants. I searched to try and find it again but could not.

 

Do you remember the names of the 3 specialty restaurants??

 

Thanks

Is Ben going with you on the next adventure, or does he have to work?

Maybe on the 9/8 sailing?..... you would draw a big audience! Really enjoyed your review (even though I'm late reading it) and all the alliteration:). What a great trip - combining land and sea. I'm on the 9/8 sailing as well with a group of friends. Here's hoping I get a chance to shake Ben's hand.

 

I read that you are using a point-n-shoot camera (?). What type of camera do you have? Your pictures are all terrific. Thanks.

Thanks! Here's the info and terms. I think the going consensus is that it's not worth it. You save $8 total but lose a lot of flexibility. Not many people know exactly where and when they want to each on vacation in advance.

Ben might take a vacation from his vacation since he already blogged about the Breakaway. He'll be hard pressed to come up with more antics on this the ship but he'll try. :D

Hi! Are you on the roll call? Hope to see you at the sailaway and Meet & Greet http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1500902

 

Thanks! I have a Panasonic Lumix ZS-20 (TZ30) compact superzoom (24mm Leica lens, 20x optical zoom, 14 megapixel, full HD recording). I'm relatively happy with it and too lazy to carry a full size camera. I purchased it for $225 and the price has skyrocketed to over $325. The drawbacks I'd say is that pictures are grainy in low light and there is somewhat noticeable curvature on close ups but not as bad as the Fuji compact that it replaced. I've read Sony in particular may have a better optical sensor. I'm happy with the zoom and video recording is nice although it sometimes stops unexpectedly using a Transcend Class 10 memory card.

I'm catching up on some of your pics and I must say that Ben sliding through the water slide just about made me choke on my eggplant parm sandwich. Not kidding. HE'S SO CUTE! :p:D

Love the adventures of Ben. I have been searching for something to take pictures of on our cruises and trips. Today I was very excited to find the perfect character. He is apparently Ben's long lost identical twin. Back to the drawing board!
