Hi Charles

We rarely cruise for only 7 days anymore. If we're going to go to the
expense of flying across country, we're going to make it worthwhile!

Hi Tom the QM2 was just great .It"s funny the one thing that i like
about it a lot was a big ship that didn"t feel that big. Don"t get me
wrong it"s big ,a lot of walking .I think the O of the seas looks and
feels so much bigger with all Theo:"s neighborhoods!! She felt like a
classic ocean liner ! And can"t wait to go on her .Most people at the
party said they wouldn"t take a cruise to the Caribbean on the
QM2 .But i would .I loved the pools at the stern of the ship .To me
that would be cruising like we use to do it .!! You feel like your on
the ocean !! The food was very good .She looked great for being in
service for 6 years .It took me 35 min to get to the Brooklyn pier
from NJ.I took a bus to the PA and the subway to Brooklyn then a bus
and walked 3 blocks to the pier and ship !! The Brooklyn pier is just
so much better then NYC piers .But if you don"t know your way it could
be hard to get there !! I still can"t believe Cunard is not using the
NYC piers being they are rebuild now !! Oh you know Tom the hall ways
i felt like we were on the Disney ships .I said that and the people
who was on Disney before also said it felt like being on a Disney ship
also !!!

Hi Charles

We know that the OASIS does different itineraries on Oct 16 and 23, 2010.
We have these two booked with George. The first week is his MOAGC5 group
cruise. Check out http://cruisemaster.com/

Please come and join us, we'd love to have you. It'll be a "Great
cruise...to be had!"

As far as life boat drills go,we always attend even after 48 cruises,but
many people said that if there were an emergency it would probably be
every one for themselves,and forget all about what they heard at the
lifeboat drill
