  1. It depends what your interests are. The first time we visit an island we like to get an over all feel of the place. We did an independent tour with Thenford Grey Tours. He is a local who will bring you to all the island highlights including the Brimstone Fortress. I love exploring forts and the views from there are awesome. He does a great job and he is easy to understand as he speaks perfect English. He also runs more physically active tours with hikes up the volcano. He has a website where you can check out what he has to offer. Another time we did the Scenic Railway Tour. This has to be bought through the cruise line as they have a lock on it. It will bring you through a lot of the back country. It is rather pricy in my opinion and you don't have a chance to get off the train to explore. I'm glad we did it but probably would not repeat it. I also think Thenford Grey provides a better experience for a first time visit. Now, understand that we are not really beach people. I live on the ocean. When travelling I like exploring new places. So my interests and yours might be quite different.
  2. I don't like any of the present judges. It is like a love fest with the contestants. They need appropriate feedback. I appreciated Simon. When he said something positive it wasn't to just make someone feel good. It was deserved. These judges sprinkle too much sugar on everything. Katy's clothing is outlandish, and Luke typically has a look on his face like he is constipated. I think Idol is best at the beginning of its seasons when everything is raw. As it moves along it all becomes too polished for me. They should also can Disney week. Lord I can stand those songs.
  3. We were never very interested in Bermuda either. For me, it was just a place to cruise to. It turned out to be an awesome destination.
  4. No, you have to use vouchers in the DL too. This went into effect when they increased the number of vouchers, made them good to use in any lounge, and for pretty much any drink.
  5. So they brought back abilities that we used to have years ago on the website that were taken away.
  6. Martha's Vineyard and Bermuda, two places that I really enjoy being. Oak Bluffs is a fun place. I go there fairly often just to get away.
  7. I've never seen this happen so often in all my years of cruising.
  8. I heard another one of my dear friend's new songs today... "Thank You Aimee". It is about a high school bully who she went to school with. All I have to say is don't cross my dear friend. You will be the subject of a song and you will be sorry.
  9. What sort of condition is Freedom in? I've read some concerning things about Liberty and Freedom is older. I have the ship booked for thus coming winter. It has been a while since I've been aboard.
  10. I think the point is that they are crystal not glass.
  11. Funny, some time ago I posted that I thought RCI was using smaller glasses than they used to. So now they have done it again?
  12. I don't get it. If someone is so tortured and hurting as to take that sort of action maybe the church should be a bit more compassionate. Not trying to start a religious debate.
