Mark and I were actually thinking of booking Windstar inJan or Feb. But when our friends - who had never cruised before - decided to join us, we choose the Diamond instead. We couldn't think of a better introduction to cruising that RSSC! (you know the pressure's on you when your friends say , "oh, you decide what ship we should go on..."
There's a certain peace-of-mind in knowing the kind of service and food you'll get with RSSC.

After reading some of the reviews of Windstar - and reading about their recent renovations to the rooms - I definitely have them on my "someday" list. It's a different kind of cruise experience...but sounds like an inviting one.
