We had the same issue with RCL Sovereign of the Seas. It was our first and second cruise. The first cruise we were in awe of everything...the second time we noticed the broken clocks poolside that were never fixed, broken fixtures and out of order signs on bathrooms...little things. The Sovereign went through an overhaul after that, then was retired. She was probably a grand old lady in her time, but the newer, bigger ships took precedence.

Mr. melissa_in_ga wants to take a road-trip to the West next year. I’ll miss him while I’m on my cruise!

Go for it. When I first got married my Mrs Gonzo had four weeks of vacation and I only had two. So she would go on cruises with her mom and I got to stay home and pay the bills. Worth every penny for the improved in-law relations. And besides the extra couple of trips mean that she is a diamond member now and we get extra perks.

Now I just need to talk her into one of those two story suites. Come on honey, it is only $14,000 a person. The kids don't need to go to school this year.
