The Bluegrass Cruise aboard the Royal Carribean ship 'Brilliance of the Seas' was a super
experience. The bands were great and the food was almost as good as on Disney cruises. Most
everything else was superfluous.

Weather got rough on the way back from Cozumel. Ship travelling about 20 knots almost directly into
30-40mph winds made for a rolling, bumpy ride. They closed the 'walking deck' for the entire trip
back, so there was no way to walk off the blubber that got added from the fine dining.

Altogether, I'd do it again, and may do so next year - but on the Bahama's run.

Glad you had a good time. RC is a nice cruise line. We did a Greek
islands tour on Splendor Of The Seas several years ago. Nice
older ship. Nice, younger, pursors and hospitality crew.
:-)

I was impressed. I thought nothing could compare to the Disney cruises. RC compares very favorably
and is much less expensive. Of course, RC doesn't have Castaway Cay!

A Disney cruise would be too rich for my blood. I can barely
afford Ft. Wilderness.

They ain't cheap!

We are pretty much done with cruising but I might do a Bright Horizons
cruise someplace cool (Galapagos or something) or a Viking cruise in
Europe.
I would have to save my lunch money for a while for either of them
tho.

I've heard some horror stories of Viking in Europe. Many of the rivers were quite low and the
passengers were getting bussed from point to point. Wasn't fun. We took several short Rhine or
Neckar River cruises, which were very enjoyable one-day events. Disney, and probably others, have
Mediterranean cruises in the summer. I wouldn't mind going on one of those.
