Cruise Update

For those of you that follow the site, you will know that I have been in discussions with Royal Caribbean International in regards to the issues we encountered during our cruise in 2006 aboard the Navigator of the Seas. If you are not familiar, you can read about it here.

Several years later and hour and hours of talking to different members of the RCI staff, we have reached an agreement. Special thanks to Jamie Silva of the Royal Caribbean executive customer service team, they have agreed to reactivate the cruise vouchers that were promised during the original sailing.

We have opted to apply the cruise vouchers towards a 4 night sailing aboard the Majesty of the Seas. The cruise leaves Monday from the Port of Miami and will be visiting Key West, Nassau and Cococay.

We hope to have a great time and that Royal Caribbean lives up to their reputation. Check back in the future for articles of the ports and places, as well as reviews of the ship and the overall cruising experience.

Its prominent placement quickly cemented its status.

Its design featured bold colors, stars, and the moon...
