thanks appreciate the input I had read a few opther posts here and on other cruise forums where the scraping of chairs was mentioned a few tomes. Another poster stated how they had a suite next to a famile and that teh childeren were yelling and playing all the time interpouting their quite time in the cabin and on the balcony. I had the same thing last year in a key wesy timeshare. so I tend to be over cautious. The cruise is in April of this year for one of the first cruises to alsake this year so hoefully the crew is rewady to goa nd the ports are ready for the start of the annual influx. This is opnly my second cruise as our first was 25 years ago on the Costa Amerikanis which has since made its way to the scrapyard. I am sure things have changed dramatically and we will be pleasantly suprised at the leats. I do like you point that the ship docks on the port side in most ports as I thought it was always starboards for the majority of the time. but that is only observational of the many ships in port in Tampa where I liver and Key west where we vacationed frequently.

As we near the age oif kids out of the house and college costs dimish, we haope to be able to cruise annualy if not more frequently. We love to visit other areas and enjoy the local culture and people.

to clear skys and smooth sailing,

bob

[QUOTE="oldmanbob, post: 1175247"] thanks appreciate the input I had read a few opther posts here and on other cruise forums where the scraping of chairs was mentioned a few tomes. Another poster stated how they had a suite next to a famile and that teh childeren were yelling and playing all the time interpouting their quite time in the cabin and on the balcony. I had the same thing last year in a key wesy timeshare. so I tend to be over cautious. The cruise is in April of this year for one of the first cruises to alsake this year so hoefully the crew is rewady to goa nd the ports are ready for the start of the annual influx. This is opnly my second cruise as our first was 25 years ago on the Costa Amerikanis which has since made its way to the scrapyard. I am sure things have changed dramatically and we will be pleasantly suprised at the leats. I do like you point that the ship docks on the port side in most ports as I thought it was always starboards for the majority of the time. but that is only observational of the many ships in port in Tampa where I liver and Key west where we vacationed frequently. As we near the age oif kids out of the house and college costs dimish, we haope to be able to cruise annualy if not more frequently.
