We just returned from the 4 night cruise to Cozumel on the Inspiration and they did not have escargot  I love it and was very disappointed.  The lobster and grilled shrimp was delicious.  If Jaime is tending bar at the lobby bar, he makes a fabulous Kiss on the Lips!!!!!! Dora

Ok, I can do without the Grand Gala Midnight Buffet.  I agree with another poster about all the wierd food, but the desserts were awesome. The next big question is...... are they keeping the chocolate buffet they have one afternoon?  We were on B2B last year on the Valor and thye had a chocolate buffet one afternoon that was the ...

You should not have a problem with checknig 4 bags and also having a carryon.   Have fun............

We have had balconies on the Valor, Triumph and Glory.  We were at the back of the ship on the Triumph and the Glory and the balconies seem to be a little bit bigger than the one we had on the Valor, we were on the port side, midship.  Quite often I wake up during the night so I would take a book and a cup of coffe and sit out there ...

Four years ago my DH secretly purchased a pair of yellow sapphire and diamond earrings for my 50th birthday.  He bought them at Diamonds International.  When I opened the box at my birthday party one of my friends noticed there was a diamond missing.  I called DI the next day in New York.  I had to ship the earrings to them, ...

It is $30 per person and they bring you a check and you had a gratuity onto that.  It is well worth the extra money, we went twice in one week last year on the Valor.  I had caught a terrible cold and could not taste my dinner the first time so Hubby took me again on our last night and it was fabulous.  I had the prime rib chop both ...

No back to back this year, that is what I gave DH for his 60th birthday last year.  We will definitely do another back to back at some point, it was great being on teh same ship and having the same cabin for both weeks.  We did not have to pack up after the first week, only had to exit the ship, clear customs with our declaration sheet ...

Here are a few tips for packing that I have picked up over the years for packing: 1. Make a list of what you plan to wear everyday.  You don't have to be specific like blue shorts/white top, etc,. and pack only what you write down. 2. Take a BIG garbage bag with you.  Once you receive your luggage, unpack everything and open the ...

Thanks Julia.  We went on back to back cruises last year on the Valor just about the same time and all the storms were the week before so we are keeping our fingers crossed for the same luck as last year. Dora
