What a contradiction! But I expect it largely depends on the passenger mix that happens to be on board. Personally, we'd hope for something more like Priscilla described than what Susan described. I really liked what jhp said -- people don't try to pretend they're something they're not.

I did find what Marcie mentioned -- the Introductions section. I tried to do one, but lost it entirely somehow. So I guess I go start over!

By the way Marcie -- we saw the Voyager last October! I think it was in Malta?? If that's where it was, we were docked directly in front of you on the Oceania Regatta.

I must admit that the more I learn, the more excited I am to do this world cruise! I've really no doubt that RSSC is the right choice. I've printed everything Ngaire has emailed, plus she sent a brochure from this year's Grand Voyage. They're all dog-eared. This is a huge commitment, though -- my stomach definately has butterflies!
