have just come back from my first cruise, went with island cruises as mentioned before. it was just brilliant how anybody can take any other holiday after theyve had a cruise is beyond me. i hate boats and the sea but i took the plunge as i liked the idea of seeing so many countries during one holiday.. it was the nuts!! pardon my english but island cruise staff couldnt do enough for you and the boat was excellent. our room was bigger than i expected (outside on flamingo deck) and all the ports of call on the med spirit itinery were smashing ....just had to tell everyone that i cant wait to go on another.

Welcome home Nikki

Good to know that you have been afflicted with the cruise addiction

Perhaps you could do a full review of your cruise for everyone here...

As and when you have recovered from all the fun and games

BTW, I moved your post out of roll call area to the IC main area.
