Therese, we are (almost begrudgingly) trying a mass market line for the first time - NCL's Pride of America this November. Really only because of the itinerary (Hawaii, never been!) and vacation time restraints. We are cautiously optimistic. I can't believe we have to PAY for soda - oh my goodness! We're used to inclusive CAVIAR...oh well, we'll be OK. We are excited about our destination, and have put our expectations in the appropriate spot. I don't mean to sound like a princess here...but Regent and Silversea definitely DO spoil you. You are going to LOVE the luxury cruise life.
