Jetblue, this was a really tough decision :lol We really LOVE San Diego and the Spirit. Loved watching our Giants win the Super Bowl at a decent hour and didn't have to cook, clean up or get up for work the next morning either :thumb So DH said what the heck and booked the same cruise for 2009 Super Bowl. But....we flew out 3 days before cruise and stayed 2 days after. We really did a ton of things and we might get out there and think what are we doing here. Except for Zihua, the ports are getting kind of "old" and it's a bigger expense flying to CA and staying, eating meals out and all that. I did a LOT of research. We wanted a Spirit class ship because we book aft wraparound balconies and they are the only ships that have the seperate rooms which we like (and are used to! ) I don't really "care" where we go as long as it's a nice ship and it doesn't go to Limon and those places. Not interested. We also like to have the 2 sea days down, ports, then 2 sea days back. SO....our only real option was the Miracle S. Caribbean. Even tho we are on her in September out of NY (we live right here) we thought it would be a nice cruise. Never been to St. Lucia. DH called Carnival and lo and behold, they had "our cabin" that we have been in 3x on the Spirit available on the 2/9/09 Miracle cruise. So that was kind of a "little sign." So...now you know why we made that decision (and if you cared! :gabby :yawn :blah )
