You're right, it seems like they have more illness and other problems than all the other cruise lines put together. |

I was struck by what they said toward the end. "Boeing meanwhile has been using the software widely to develop and support its commercial airplanes, military aircraft, and spacecraft. The company used Pegasus 5 in the development of its wide-bodied 747-8—the longest passenger aircraft in the world—and the latest versions of the 787 Dreamliner. Pegasus 5 simulations also played a role in developing the 737 MAX, which first flew in early 2016, and the 777X, which is slated to fly in 2020." “Today, much of the uncertainty of analysis and design has been eliminated,” and much of that is thanks to Pegasus 5. In May 2016, when Gregg wrote a letter on behalf of Boeing encouraging NASA to consider Pegasus 5 for the Agency’s Software of the Year Award, he wrote that “without PEG5, we would not be able to efficiently design and analyze the wide array of aerospace products that we build at the Boeing Company.” |

We're looking at the Viking river cruises. That's on the list for after retirement. |

When people fear losing their jobs for raising a quality or design question, problems that should have been flushed out and resolved, instead get buried and ignored. It's a difficult balancing act for organizations that are operating under rigid scheduling and profitability goals. Been there done that at my old company. It was all about "making the next quarter". That said , it seems unlikely that Carnival's docking mishap was the result of a hardware or software glitch. More likely it was a combination of bad judgement, bad weather luck, and possibly a harbor congiguration that allows insuficient maneuvering room. The captain may have also been under time pressure since a lot of the shoreside activities are tightly scheduled. Supposedly the ship got hit with a powerful 30 kt wind gust at a critical juncture. Too much confidence in thrusters I imagine. These guys expect to be able to make these ships go wherever they want with a push of a joy stick and that big slab sided sombitch can catch a whole lot of wind. You are right about time pressures but sometimes I think they just like to show off. I have seen them do some amazing tricks in the Miami river with really big ships. I guess Carnival was lucky they didn't crunch that Russian's yacht. He might have the captain whacked. |

He did partake of some smokes in a coffee shop before he left but he said it was a great cruise. |

Celebrity, etc. Maybe, just different price points? I think Holland America was a division. |

We'll probably stick with Disney, although I've been hearing some good things about MSC. We're going out of New Orleans in Feb on a Disney ship. Looking forward to spending a few days in New Orleans once we return. Neither of us have ever been there. |

NO used to be one of our favorite destinations, too. :( |

We'll probably stick with Disney, although I've been hearing some good things about MSC. We're going out of New Orleans in Feb on a Disney ship. Looking forward to spending a few days in New Orleans once we return. Neither of us have ever been there. Go to Dragos. It's on the river. Great food and service and a decent price. NOLA if you want to go upscale. Acme is good, too, if you are near Bourbon Street but they are usually busy and it's a little loud. Thanks. We're staying at the Hilton New Orleans, which is downtown. Is the Dragos also known as the Dragos-Hilton on Poydras St.? That's only a half-mile from the hotel. And, Merry Christmas to you! Bourbon Street is a real freak show late at night. About half of the "women", aren't. It was a little much for a country boy. ;-) Compared to NOLA, Key West is Disneyland. I'd be wary of New Orleans. Wife was there a couple of months ago for a business meeting and said much of the downtown area is still terrible looking after the floods, and a lot of the better shops never reopened, and that goes for some of the restaurants, too. NO used to be one of our favorite destinations, too. :( Haven't you been shot at a few times there? Maybe it's just you! |

Makes you wonder how this could happen Carnival is about the cheapest of the cruise lines, but I'd never go on one of their cruises. You're right, it seems like they have more illness and other problems than all the other cruise lines put together. I always say the food and service in general is what you would expect at a Carnival. Have you been on one? Several when we were cruising with Trane and Carrier (sales prizes). My daughter got married on the Destiny. At the time the difference between Carnival and Holland America was striking. I am not sure what it is like now that it is one company.
