I believe Kurt is correct, your Canadian calendar is "different" than ours. <:+) -- Ray Goldenberg 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 Lighthouse Travel http://www.lighthousetravel.com Follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/lighthousetravl Follow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/ray.goldenberg

Carnival is not my favorite cruise line, I think Celebrity or Royal Caribbean is, but each cruise line has their advantages. The singing waiters gets old. Since the new cruisers enjoy it, I try to tolerate it, but I do not like my ice cream melting while they sing "O Sole Mio". On Carnival, the only areas that were smoky to me, was the casino, so I don't go there. Some of the lounges get smoky, but they do have non-smoking lounges. As the years go by, the smoking areas on cruise ships get fewer and fewer. Remember when you could smoke in the buffet or the restaurant on a cruise ship? When you are traveling with friends and family, the ship becomes less important. The joy is seeing each other, having fun, talking about old times and making new memories. This is what makes the Viking group so much fun, regardless of the ship. I will be cruising on the Triumph out of New Orleans in May, during Mother's Day week. It is all about seeing everybody, meeting for dinner, having fun on Bourbon Street, having a good time on the cruise. I will go diving in Roatan and anybody who wants to join me, can. You could go snorkeling if you don't want to go diving. This should be a fun cruise. Becca

IMO, the cruise line for people with children of all ages is Royal Caribbean. They have more activities for young folks. Becca |
