Having just come back from a 3-day cruise, it would be great if they could work more 3 or 4-day U.S.-based cruises into their itineraries. It makes for a great long weekend (not to mention a good opportunity for an early booking discount--the cruise consultant was crushed the whole time. they could pick up a lot of longer-cruise business this way).

Yes, more satellite capability would be great--to improve internet connectivity, to allow for Skype, and to pick up on more satellite broadcasts for the longer cruises so we can stay in touch with the world (I'd like them to add MSNBC to their news channel selections).

Any new ships should take the best elements of the existing fleet. Separate tubs and showers in the bathrooms. A coffee corner (there's one on the Navigator now--YEAH!). The promenade from the Marner.
