Bryce G. Posted August 8, 2013 Report Posted August 8, 2013 Hi there! I'm Bryce. I live in Michigan now (I've moved quite a few times recently). First cruise was aboard Majesty of the Seas. Love the intricacies of the ships--seeing how the staff works, etc. I am a Systems Engineer, after all. Efficiency is what I study. moosetrx 1 Quote

DAVE(Darkcabbie) Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 Hi everyone my name is Dave and I have been married to my wife Samantha for 8 years and we have been together for 28 years. When we married in 2005 and as we love Disney we got married at Disneyworld in Orlando at the Magic Kingdom and even had Mickey and Minnie at the ceremony and reception it was the most amazing day of my life. We began cruising in 2001 and have been hooked ever since. Our other favourite things to do are going to the gym and playing golf and going to Disneyworld as much as possible. I own a small Chauffeur company in the UK which offers a personal and reliable service. Matt 1 Quote

CruisinTexan Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Hello, Kim and Bill, we enjoy cruising and were taking off pretty regularly until 2011 when we purchased 20 acres of farm,(while on a cruise, MIL signed the papers for us!) with the farm we have to be home more so we have to plan a little more for when the kids and come feed the animals! :) Matt 1 Quote
Mason Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 Hi, I'm Mason. I'm 33 years old and live in Perth, Australia. I'm a travel agent and cruise specialist, so I love my job! I'm going on my first RCI cruise in just under five weeks and am so excited! We're doing a 13 night cruise to the Pacific Islands & Fiji on Rhapsody of the Seas. At the top of my cruising bucket list is a cruise on Oasis around the Western Caribbean. I would love to visit Labadee! One of my nerdy little hobbies is collecting cruise ship models (the sort that are sold onboard). I am madly trying to collect the entire RCI and Celebrity fleets.

Sheltie Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Hi, We live in the Shetland Islands, Scotland and started cruising with RCI on the Freedom in 2009, we were married on the beach at Ocho Rios during the cruise. Since then we have been on the Navigator, Mariner, Brilliance and Allure (100th voyage) with cruises booked on the Independence and the inaugural cruise on the Allure. Love all things RCI. trainer.stan 1 Quote
bcarney Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 Right around the corner from me! Cruising must be a mid-Michigan thing... I too live around the corner from Tyler over in Grand Ledge. We should probably form some sort of support group.... :) Matt and trainer.stan 2 Quote
rm1sw Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 Hi, my name is Susan and cruising is in my blood.
