I've read most of your posts on FT. You have taken four cruises. The first being Crystal, for which you hold great bitterness. Had you done your homework, you would have known you were setting yourself up for disappointment. Two on HAL and the recent 42 day Discovery voyage.

Six years ago, light consideration was given to Crystal. Ten minutes of research and it clearly was not my bag. I've looked at HAL, but cannot pull the trigger. Tried a weekend on Celebrity two years ago and that was enough for this lifetime. Forty days spent on ships this year and another thirty+ booked, but I'm open to learning more from you. But please, let us know about your most recent trip and give it a rest on your first. Thanks!
