Hi Everyone--
Glad to be here after CC and its recent meltdown!
We're on the verge of booking the 11/22 Diamond Caribbean sailing and had a few questions....
- What's the passenger mix like? On our PG sailing, there were people of all age groups (which made it that much more fun. We get along with everyone !!)
- Any thoughts on cabin location? We will book a balcony, but don't know the ship well enough to have any preferences.
- How about formality? I know this is discussed often - how dressed up is appropriate?
- Is the Diamond back to the usual two stocked bottles (I know they were experimenting with alternative policies).
- Not to miss excursions? I've heard the caves in Barbados are incredible.
- Anything else we should know?
Thanks much, and please let us know if you'll be joining us :)
Gordon + Rebecca

Welcome to the boards.
Passenger mix will be similiar to the PG. The Caribbean also attracts a mixed age group. I suggest a cabin close to mid ship or forward. Formality is pretty consistent on the Caribbean itineraries. YOu will see dark suits and some tuxedos on formal night. Women in gowns to simple black pant suits. They are back to the standard bar set up in the room. The experiment for open bar was only last summer. Dont have a schedule here to know your itinerary so I will leave it to others to answer those questions.

Welcome Gordon and Rebecca! I am glad you found your way here.
You will love the Diamond. I am partial to balcony cabin 738 as it is close to the elevators and neighborless on one side. The beds also point in the right direction :) I have to have the beds on the right as you enter, for some reason. When they are on the left side of the room, it seems to me that you are laying in the wrong direction :ohmy:
Doug, you can click on the envelope by their name and you can email them from there.
Karen
Live long and prosper

Thanks everyone!
It's good to see all the familiar folks over here - and we are so looking forward to the Diamond. I get the sense that it's something like the PG in terms of its overall feeling (this is just me probably projecting now that I've watched the video Ngaire was kind enough to send us!!)
Karen, I SOOO agree with you on the beds - I hate any hotel room that is messed up that way as well!!
Doug -- sent you a private message - hope you guys are well!!! Fill us in on when you are sailing and where, will ya??
