Greetings to all. I'm new here, never been on a cruise. However having spent several weeks this year traveling by air around Europe and the Caribbean I thought it was time to try. So, we're on the Silver Shadow out of Ft. Lauderdale on Oct 26 for ten days and I'll post a report in due course. If anyone has any special tips or suggestions I'd love to hear them.
Jeremy.

Welcome Jeremy! I think what you will like when cruising is waking up someplace new each morning without packing, it is nice to have your hotel go along for the ride with you!

Thanks Karen: I think what I'll really like as well is not being dependent on airlines. Airports everywhere are just overwhelmed! Jeremy

Hi Jeremy, Welcome to LCT! Hope you enjoy it here. We are a fun loving group of folks. Cruising can be very relaxing. Kick back, enjoy the sights, have a snooze on the pool deck.

Hi Jeremy, Bet you get bit by the "cruising bug" like we've all been. I'll look forward to your report. Welcome to LCT!

Jeremy, nothing like starting at the top! I am sure that you will enjoy it! We have been on the Silver Whisper which is the Shadows twin sister! Great ships! Have a great cruise and welcome to LCT!
Make sure that you make it to the outdoor BBQ on deck! It will be the highlight of your cruise. Also they will have a Galley Buffet, where they open up the kitchen. It is over the top!
Don
