Ocean Liners-
Can you please post some pics of the early RCCL ships lounges and bars? It seems like now they never have pisc of the lounges like they used to.
I think these ships still look very modern.

ocean liners,

tough your posts are sometimes strange - please do not hesitate to post your brouchure scans. Maybe try to post them a bit more in context, but this thread is not only more than adequate but perfect for that. Thank You!

Greetings

Ocean Liners, you aren't going to give this up until I come begging for your forgiveness. I'm so sorry that you felt insulted by what I said, but why have you gone so overboard with it? I did not attack your character, or call you any names, so why are you so hurt?

I spent a lot of time on these ships in the 80's during school breaks (my father was a bar manager) and honestly I loved them though the cabins look nicer to me in the broucher than I remember them,next time I go home I will try and remember to scan some pics to post here.
