I, too, agree with the comment about the folks you travel with.

On our PG trip, the CC people (pre LCT) made our first week was probably the best cruise we have ever had. The second week, we made some nice friends, but it just didn't compare to the giggles we had week one.

This is why we have chosen MUSH next year. We have other places we would prefer to see, but we haven't been to Alaska and really enjoy a group experience. As nice as RSSC is, it is the people who complete the experience. That is why we even had a fantastic experience on our first cruise on HAL.
