I got my passport about 2 months ago and received it in 7 days.  Applied at the post office on a Friday and received it in my mailbox the very next Friday.  I paid for rush service.  They told me that normal delivery was running 3-4 weeks at that time.

We just got back from our July 11th cruise on the Ecstacy.  Overall the cruise was very fun.  We stayed in the penthouse suite and it was well worth the money, very big and loved the balcony.  The staff was excellent.  Our waitress ("Kitty") was the best, loved her and her helper.  Embarkation was not as smooth ...

Getting real close guys! WOOHOO!!!!  I hope everyone has a great cruise. Bon Voyage Mates

Yes I have been on this same itenerary but on the Elation.  Last time I just shopped in Progresso.  This time we are going to go seek out a nice beach and shop.  I read that Malecon Beach is nice and has a craft market nearby.  In Cozumel we are going to do the Dolphin adventure thru Carnival.  The kids are really excited ...
