we emigrated to Canada on it... landed in Montreal .. since then I have been on the oldest carnival ship - since sent to scrap - but was great and had bathtubs! Also top of the line Princess with a suite and balcony.. I love ships.. and love boats and the water.. but have a major fear of drowning - even though a good swimmer Seeing that cruiseship like that is like my nightmare come true But didn't stop me booking for the cruise next month

Same here; I've loved ships all my life. A good portion of my 20s was spent in the Navy (don't like Navy ships, though). But I've only been on two cruises, the last one ten years ago. It's time for another.
