In our summer season, we get over a hundred cruise ships and most look like big wedding cakes. The Queen Mary 2 is truly a beautiful ship. Wish she'd come more often. |

I never picked a cruise line or ship based on the way she looks. It is all about destinations and what is *inside* the ship. ;-) |

The Disney Magic is no Titanic, but it's a lot closer than the Princess Line wedding cakes. -- 'Til next time, John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** |
