Next time I go on a cruise by myself, I will not hook up with the first girl I meet on the first night. Just to have her follow me around the rest of the trip when I find there are hotter babes onboard.

Next time I will know better!

My new years cruise resolution is the next time I am on a cruise at the first nights dinner, that I insure everyone knows when the sitting time is and how to dress. Some passengers have to have the rules spelled out in front of them, Americans especially.

Hmmmmm........

My resolution is to go on a cruise in January 2005.

Wait! We are going on the Maasdam's January 6th sailing.

Guess that's one resolution I CAN keep , unlike this year's of balancing my checkbook monthly. I'm about 6 months behind!

Hi all, Happy New Year.

I'm just back from LA where I spent three nights onboard Queen Mary at Long Beach - and what a ship!

I was also at the New Year's Eve party onboard - and what a party!

She was well worth the trip!

I travelled over 5000 miles to visit her, so I do NOT want to hear any excuses from those who have not been to her.

Make a resolution to visit her in 2006.
