All goood things have to come to an end -- so we're home after 7 days of luxury. Cruise was wonderful, weather beautiful! This cruise went just super smooth. Got to the port and boarded the ship with hardly any waiting. We were on board, having lunch at 11:30. Went to Cozumel, Jamaica (Ocho Rios) and Grand Cayman. We've seen the island so it really wasn't a big deal. We enjoy the ship itself --- after a while the islands all start to blur into one another. Entertainment was not quite as good as in the past, but the food was WONDERFUL. Now the dieting starts.

Loads of laundry today and tomorrow have to refill an empty refrigerator!

Missed you guys --- and let's all plan a TCS cruise next year!

Good to hear you enjoyed yourselves!


The food issue is a bit of a one for me when it comes to cruises.. I've never been on one, but I'm not a big eater and still don't lose weight, so it could be very dangerous...

I used to work on a cruise web site, and we've been on 20-something cruises.

They aren't what they used to be, but they're still lots of fun.

I will never get off the ship again in Jamaica.

The food quality has gone downhill, especially on the ships with unassigned dinner seating.

Careful shopping can get you on a cruise for less than what it would cost you to stay 7 days at the Holiday Inn and eat at Denny's.

I've been on a couple, and you can easily put 7lb on and more in a week. The cocktails don't help either

We always told first time cruisers that it's not unusual for them to put on 8 lbs in a week.

The trick is to figure out that you don't have to eat it all right now.  There will be more later.

The food would be my downfall. Yes, I know you can have more later......but I want it all now AND later! 


Welcome home, Lana! And Happy (late) Birthday!

Yeah that's a problem for me too. Standing in front of a buffet, all my willpower and self-control goes out the window!

Glad you had a good time Lana! :clap:
