[Blindtlk] Cruises

[Chasity Jackson]

I hear you David. I wish the particular cruise I'm going on would allow us 
to book with a travel agent, for that reason you mentioned, for knowing the 
little details. But unfortunately, we have to book directly through the 
cruise line. Oh well. It is a good experence I guess. But I definitely 
appreciate you guys all telling me the importance of everything, especially 
the travel insurance. This thread makes me wish it were later in the year 
too, so I don't have 245 more days to wait. LOL.
