Ngaire, we participated in an Iron Chef cookoff on the Voyager on our transatlantic. Our team was a disaster. We had one lady that wanted to do her own thing so we had a totally separate dish as part of our group presentation. Still, it was quite fun.

On our first New Year's eve cruise, they had a pre-dinner drawing for various prizes. Arlene won a bottle of Dom. The big prize was a free cruise. I don't see why they can't give away free cruises now and then.

I sure would appreciate the ability to earn free cruises or at least upgrades. After our next cruise we will hit 140 nights; on Seabourn this would equal a free cruise. At least give out two category upgrades.

Better internet would be great but at what expense? They have given away free internet to so many people. Can they now go back and take it away from Silver? I would like them to unblock skype but, they give us all free phone time too so it is not that big of a deal (for me).
