This is such a great topic I have to ring in too. We've never had a bad cruise. We loved them all. Our first was Alaska on the old, tired Island Princess. We took that cruise because it was end of season CHEAP. We thought we wouldn't like cruising. Boy were we wrong! Our second cruise was on the old aging tub Stella Solaris (now junk metal)in the Greek Islands. A blast! I'd rank our 11-day Baltics cruise on Voyager as our second favorite since it hooked us on luxury cruising and a certain luxury cruise travel agent. But all of them after that have them are tied, to me, in third place. I know, I'm a chicken. But they have all been great and special for different reasons. My most special "people moment" was on WAVE when our wonderful friend David Harrison (of Wendy and David fame) took time to fetch me from the lounge late one evening to experience the Rock of Gibraltar. I would have missed it without David and Wendy. Of course Kathy and Frank were dear friends even before our cruise with them on the PG because of our mutual devotion to Cairn Terriers and Kathy's help in our adopting our beloved Cairn. We treasure so many other new friendships we have acquired in the last five years of cruising I won't try to list them here. I really do mean TREASURE. But first place in the favorite cruise department is the Antarctic. Fred has told you why.
