Hello my Name is JD,

I'm new to this place but not to cruising.
When not dodging hurricanes here in South FLA my wife and LOVE cruising.
Our first cruise was in the old Dolphin Cruise Lines we have cruised on Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Costa my least favorite cruise lines.

We have sailed on the following ships:
Dolphin V
Majesty of the Sea
Navigator of the Sea
Carnival Triumph
Carnival Victory
Carnival Valor
Costa Magica

We will be going on our next cruise on the Carnival Triumph in January 13, 2007.
We are also planning the Freedom of the Sea in November of 2007.
As you can see all of our cruises have been out Miami due to the fact it is so close to us and we only have to worry about the cruise price and not worry about airline tickets. I also love the Caribbean and all the islands are beautiful and I LOVE WARM Weather!

Here is too many year of enjoyment!!

Hi JD. I also live in Florida, West Central. Which means that I can cruise out of Tampa, and drive to Pt. Canaveral, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. We're glad you're here.

for the past week and have really enjoyed the forums.Learning alot. Took our first cruise in '91 on the Independence to Hawai. Since then we have cruised 5 more times. We traveled alot in the last 15 years mainly on land but now that we are retired we plan to do more. However, with advancing age and illnesses we seem to prefer Cruising. Like...what's not to like. Actually leaving Thursday on the new Century for 11days in the Baltic. Really am excited. Also have another cruise on the Zenith in January booked. Am turning into a cruise fool. Thanks for all the tips for the next cruise. Bon Voyage. HB

Hi JD and Annie. I live where Lisa lives (Tampa, Florida), just about 3 miles from her. I moved here from Michigan a couple of months ago, and it's so great not to have to buy airfare anymore for cruises. We went on the Inspiration last month and it was truly weird getting off the ship and getting in Lisa's truck to go home instead of an airplane - lol.

I hope you two enjoy Cruise Fools as much as we do.
