So the last time we cruised, in 2013, we were booked on the Carnival Breeze.  And while I was in the middle  of planning our cruise, the Carnival Triumph had ...issues.  As in, the cruise from hell.  there was a fire on board, which knocked out power, and the ship limped back to port in terrible shape. 

So now we're booked on Royal Caribbean.

And Anthem of the Seas is making news, for all the wrong reasons.

Anthem is based in New Jersey, sailing south to  warmer weather this winter.  Last month they sailed right into a storm. Really bad situation.  And the current cruise is being cut short, they say that the weather is bad, they're afraid of sailing into another storm.  But there's also a noro virus outbreak aboard that ship.  They're saying the ship is "cursed".

Oh joy.
