    Re: first time cruiser

    Hi Kat,

    So glad you had a great experience on the Inspiration.  We take our first cruise on this particular ship on Dec 19th.  Did you do any shore excursions?  If so what were they, it would  help us a lot to plan our excursions.  Where on the ship were your rooms?  We are on the botton level R hope it's not noisy from the engines, I was told it will not be noisy.

    Sissy

    sissy,

    auwsome, you will have so much fun. we were on the emperess deck7, which is the best everything is around you ,guest sevices  a bar and where you get on the ship and depart are rooms were oceanview with 2 port holes at the front of the ship . we planned our vacation 1 yr ago ,my husband thought we would never go ,and that is when the count down began. dont know how noisy your room will be we did here the ancor go when dropping. we did go to grand caman and cozumel we did not pay for shore excurtions , but next time want to do sub ,mits 100.00 per person so save money

    when you go on shore they will have cheaper excur. from natives

    get ready to eat , eat, eat ,have fun

    Re: first time cruiser

     We booked our very first cruise on the Inspiration August 16, 2008. We loved it so much, we booked the exact same room we had last year for this year's September 21 cruise on the Inspiration. We had a room with 2 portholes on the Riviera deck. We didn't notice any noise (i'm a light sleeper) and when we heard the anchor drop, we were already awake. IMO, it's hard to sleep in when you're on vacation.

    Top of the page look for "My Profile"  Then go to  "Options - Edit my profile"  click on the tab that says avatar, and upload a picture from your computer.  Make sure it is not too large or it will not take.  If you have a photo editing software you may have to open it there first and resize for email then upload it.
