    Mathew Jones got a reaction from RestingBird in Crazy Quest   
    Has anyone taken part in one of the onboard shows called Crazy Quest?  If you have the ability to go to that show I highly recommend it.  It is very much an interactive/ audience participation show that is only for people over the age of 17.  If you like to participate in the show be close to the stage or on the end of an aisle that goes directly down to the stage.
    If you wonder what it is I will give you a quick breakdown.  It is basically a scavenger hunt type game for items in the crowd.  For example one of the items was someone from your team had to have a drivers license with an Austin, TX address on the license.  This was on the mild side.  It went adult very fast.  VERY FAST.  
    If you are wondering how adult it gets here is an first hand example:  I saw a passenger run on stage only in pasties and a thong.  YES, you read that correct only PASTIES and a THONG.  For ones that may not know pasties are similar to stickers that go over a females nipples.  And thong is referring to underwear.

    I think there is a communication problem here.  What I believe @Mathew Jones wants is a pdf of the cruise compass in the app because the app neither has everything in it nor is it always accurate.

    Mathew Jones got a reaction from spiralqueen in Order Ships by Most Favorite to Least Favorite   
    Here is my very short list:
    1: Carnival Pride (December 2003)
    2: USS Anzio CG-68
     
    These are the only two ships I have sailed on.  Can't wait for our sailing on Liberty in two weeks. 
     
    Would not recommend the USS Anzio.  Food was very comparable to Golden Corral.  There was no stateroom attendant.  The bathrooms were community style.  They didn't offer an alcohol package.  The sailing was for only offered in 180 nights.  And the port schedule was way too variable.

    Mathew Jones reacted to twangster in Next Cruise vs Agent vs Self Booking   
    Nearly 50 cruises on the books among different lines and 99% were booked through an agent.
    Next is disappointing to me.  I research fully and know what I'm looking for and what an agent has already quoted me.  I still check every cruise but rarely book with Next, the numbers don't work for me.
    The trick to saving money is knowing when peak seasons are and booking early.  If you wait a few months to be on board and hope Next gets you something you will usually have been better to have booked it months earlier on land.

    Mathew Jones got a reaction from Hoski in Closing the border and Cruise ports   
    I was wondering what would happen if the President closes the border to Mexico on how it would affect cruise ships pulling into Mexico?  We are going on Liberty in May and have Cozumel as our first stop.  Maybe I should start thinking about other ports like Belize or Roatan.  I am wondering what others are thinking about this possible glitch in the situation. 
     
    On another note these latest discounts offered by RCCL on excursions just saved me another $60 off of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals.  Good thing I am a Cruise Planner stalker.

    From what I can tell, the shorter the sailing the more valuable that The Key is.  If I was on a 3 or four night sailing then The Key is a no brainer purchase.  But as the number of nights goes up The Key loses a little bit of its value.  I think that anything over a 7 nights would not be worth buying The Key.
