They had a lot of trouble handling a B2B for me and screwed up almost every aspect of the change-over. Next time, I will hound the customer service before the change regarding every detail. Everything else was fine. I was caught by surprise because Princess, HAL and RCCI handled B2B with ease. Harry Cooper

I don't think we are elite yet, but if we were, I am sure Kevin could find something to enjoy. sue

Too much formality for me, I think ;-) I found that on the Connie last week, people seem to drifting more and more away from the "cruiseliner day apparel." I like the more relaxed attitude during the day and spiffing up a little in the evening for dinner or just going smart casual to be far more relaxing to me. No jeans, cut-offs and ugly sleeveless shirts...just nice, smart-looking casual stuff and I'm happy! Far easier on the packing, too! But I have not ruled her out! ;-) --Jean

I will post it. --Jean

Maybe that is a question that Charles can answer for us before he disembarks? --Jean --Jean - |
