Breezing along

Thanks to cruise critic I found two great websites.  The first tells you when there's been a price drop -- very important if you're booked early saver. 

The second tells you which ships are in which ports.  We will be sharing space with the Carnival Liberty when we sail out of Miami.  But we'll be the only ship in port for every port after that.  Makes excursions less crowded, I think.

the waiting is the hardest part

So we booked a cruise for August in lieu of our cancelled February cruise.

Cost us more to change from a 7 day Eastern on the Liberty to an 8 day Eastern on the Breeze, but we saved a bundle because we're flying in the summer instead of during President's week.  Still have to cancel and rebook our hotel for the night before the cruise, the plan is to stay near the airport and use the free shuttle to the port.

I made a reservation for the steakhouse but haven't received confirmation yet. doubt I will hear for awhile.

Haven't booked any excursions yet.  We still have plenty of time.

What's killing me....

TV commercials.  there's the one "It's better in the Bahamas."  And "Cruise Like a Norwegian".

and this one
