CARNIVAL - A great value. We consider this to be our family's Disney Cruise Line. We won't go on Disney, since they are expensive and have no casinos.

ROYAL CARIBBEAN - More expensive than Carnival, but the ships are nicer. Food just ok, but the best souvenirs.

PRINCESS - Our favorite. Resort elegant-everything is very nice. A step up from Carnival and RCCL.

CELEBRITY - Our co-favorite with Princess. The best food of all.

HOLLAND AMERICA - Very nice, but to sedate for those under 21. Can't wait to do more of these once the kids are no longer an albatross around our necks.

NORWEGIAN - The old Norway was fabulous. Getting ready to try the new version.

Be careful...you might just like it.

I guess it would all depend on who I was cruising with. I do so look forward to going on MSC and trying out a different line. I know it doesn't have all the things for the teens on the ships like some of the others but the just give then the sun and a pool and they are happy.

You come try Freestyle with my wife and I, or any current member of FOMT, and I assure you you will fall in love with Freestyle.

How are Mr Tractor & especially his wife? He hasn't posted here under either of his names in quite a while.

It stands for Friends Of Mister Tractor. It is not so much of a group as it is a state of mind. There is a group of people that have cruised together over the past 5 - 6 years. Some of us cruised together many times. Mr Tractor and the Bronzed Goddess have sailed with my wife and I 5 times since November of 2002.

We were sitting around one time (on a cruise) and noticed people walking around with a sort of blank expression on their face like they were lost and this was the first day of their vacation. It appeared as though they had no one to talk to or enjoy their cruise with. We started talking about group gathering on cruise such as Friends of Bill W an Friends of Dorothy and we came up wit Friends off Mister Tractor. It would be a gathering of people that just love to meet other people and enjoy every element of cruising.

They are dealing with his workload and her "activities" very well. As you may know both together are incredibly time consuming. Also things in their life have become much more important to them than visiting message boards.

I can understand that, PE. Please tell him that folks are thinking about them and hoping that there are many more cruises in their future.
