Hi Mary,

That is some B-I-G ship!

I'm quite leery of ships that large so I'm really looking forward to your report about your cruise.

Hey Anita, you know anything about the new Princess ship?

Ned - don't you know I'll be posting everything on Freedom when I get back. BUT, I still have 10 months, 2 weeks and 5 days til we leave. waaaaa! :huh:

The new princess ship? Do you mean the Crown Princess debuting on June 14, 2006? She looks like a beauty!

Of course I know. I also know I can trust your comments to be accurate. I can wait for your reporting since my next cruise will probably be an expedition type on a boat of not more than 100 or so passengers, either to the Galapagos or Antarctica. No big ship luxury cruise for the next one.

I watched the Freedom leave Hamburg this morning via webcams. It was an awesome site. She sure is beautiful.

Ned - I would love a cruise to the Galapogos though - in fact one cruise that's a must on my list is the Windjammer Barefoot Cruise. As much as I love dressing up and the glitz & glamour of a large ship, I love the idea of hanging out in small coves and wearing a tank top and cut offs! You are going to have a great time - and I expect a full report from YOUR trip! :)

WRP- I will have to go search that so I can check it out. If you have the site handy will you post it?

Have a great day everyone!!

(currently singing and tapping my heart out - our Rivertown Follies is next week and we have 5x a week rehearsals. whew! Fun and exhausting at the same time!)

Yes, I believe that's the one. A client of mine has a grandson working for Princess and has just been moved from working AK this summer to this ship. He's apparently not thrilled with the thought of "working the kinks out of a new ship." He's trying to get moved back to the AK runs!
