Can I Cruise

I'm looking for insight or examples of how cruisers extend their vacations by adding on a cruise either before of after a TA. Do you look at the same ship or other ones in specific areas- what works best ? Thanks !

Copy/pasted from a cruise group: Just got off the Magic in New York. It was a great cruise! We even managed to get an NYPD and US Coast Guard escort to the dock because a couple of jerks started a fight that turned into a 60 person brawl. Its all over the news. It is my inderstanding that the people involved had tried to start fight all week and that a couple of shows had to move venues because of it. Why weren’t these people secured in the ship’s brig. This is not the first brawl on a Carnival cruise. They are going to have to deal with this swiftly and severely.

Great idea. I'd be willing to forego watching people with polo shirts on, who think that they're wearing fancy duds. Nothing against Polo shirts, and, they don't ruin my meal or time eating.

There's another cruise line on CC where passengers have found that religious exemptions are better approved out of California if that helps. A couple has cruised 2x already this year with that exemption out of Long Beach, CA.
