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.

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.

Too many people too many kids. I am tired after 4 days with the grandkids.

We did the Galapagos a couple years ago. We were supposed to be on a 16
passenger boat, but due to the boat having an accident while getting it's
biannual inspection, they put us on a 100 passenger boat. Some ship hit
the ways, and the boat could not launch. The 100 does travel further and
you see more islands, most are desert islands, and the Tortuga are up in
the cloud zone. So most do not hike that far. 5 or 6 hours from what I
understand. Lots of other animal life to see. The turtles are easily seen
on the island next to Santa Cruz. They graze cows and has water. We did a
tour through OATS, I think, and included Maccho Pichu and Amazon Peru.
Good trip.
