Eventually, I'm sure. Today is just decompression time, and laundry day, and I'm back to work with the kiddies tomorrow - so very busy all week.
In general, had a decent cruise - no real "special" moments, but very few "bad" moments. I think, having been last on a 12 day cruise, and then going from that nice long cruise to this 7 day one, that the 7 days was just too short.

Not sure I could ever go back to 7 day cruises. You just about get into the cruise state of mind and find yourself packing. I remember my first longer cruise it was 13 days. The best part turning to the ex and say this is day one of a 7 day cruise. With all we go thru to book a cruise, plan the cruise, get to the cruise, a few extra days are priceless. Not sure I want 21+ days but 10 -12 days is perfect for now.

Rhonda,
Boy, am I glad to see here posting again! I missed ya!
I am currently booked on 3 cruises..........
1) in October, we're on the final trans-Atlantic crossing on the QE 2, from NY to London. Cunard is retiring her and we wanted to sail on her one last time. I imagine there will be a alot of fanfare, as this will be her last crossing ever and we are sailing across the Atlantic in tandem with the QM 2. Should be exciting!
2) In January, we'll be on the new Celebrity Solstice, doing a 7-day Caribbean cruise. 2 other couples from CTT is going.
3) Another Panama Canal cruise with my mom next March. This time on the Jewel of the Seas.
Your NCL cruise sounds like fun, too. I haven't been on NCL in over 20 years, but I know they are very popular now with their "Freestyle" concept.

I just booked everything yesterday morning!
Got to work, got bored, got online, flight/hotel/cruise booked in less than 30 minutes. Took one hour tonight to get suitcase items together...just need to pack toothpaste and toothbrush!
I leave this Friday after work to Baltimore. Getting on NCL Majesty to Bermuda. Woo-Hoo! Never been to Bermuda! Is the sand truly pink?
Note to Self: Never watch "The Bucket List" ever again.

Hi coka: you'll find the pink sand beaches on the south shore -- Horseshoe Bay is one that comes to mind. Grab a map and it will show the pink sand beaches.
Have fun on the Majesty! She's a great little ship! If you see Nenette (she's a bar server, usually on the pool deck) tell her Peg & Joe said hello! Also, Jun is the bar manager -- he's a great guy! Hmm, sense a theme here???
