Help needed on Marlboro contest question II

You can eat any time you want and just about any thing you want. I always take one day and make it a chocolate day. I eat it for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and right before I go to bed. I would estimate at least and I mean at least the amount of a complete cake and 1/2. I actually fill the plate with say 6 slices of different chocolate pieces of cake and take it back to the room. This is just for one of the above mentioned meals. You should see the strange looks I get. I have no idea what those people are thinking. I should just ask them.

What I like about a cruise is that you stop at different ports and can kind of get a fill of whether you would want to go back and stay just in that one spot. This of course is opposed to a fixed vacation where you stay in the same hotel in one area and if you have never been to that area before you usually rely on other peoples opinions of what experiences they have had.

I believe this particular ship's total passenger capacity was about 3100 people. That is if every bed is taken. I do know that it was full because a couple I spoke with told me their friends were on a waiting list and started out at 28 and ended up #12 so they were not able to go. It doesn't mean that there were 3100 hundred passengers on board though. It just means every cabin was full.

Once on the ship you would not know there are that many people due to how big the ship is itself so I never feel crowded except for the shows. Usually every seat is filled.

I feel weird talking to myself, but you guys asked so I am telling you. I just do not know exactly what it is you would like to know and what you already know.

Hey I can tell you a cartoon of Marlboro cigarettes on board the ship cost $22.00 and you are limited by immigration to 2 cartons per person.

I hope I am at least touching on some of what you would like to know.

I find it interesting that the captain of the ship is not the one who brings it into port or takes it out. A pilot boat comes out to meet the ship where a qualified captain actually brings the ship into port and docks it. The same is true for when you leave a port. The reason if you don't already know is that the captain that actually comes on board is familiar with the local waters and any hazards in the direct vicinity whereas the actual captain of the ship itself might not be aware of this.

In Cozumel we docked and about 10 minutes later the same cruise line had another ship that docked just parallel to us. That was kind of interesting. It was actually fun too because they left before us so I was waving goodbye from our balcony to complete strangers and they were waving goodbye back and we were yelling across to each other "bye and have fun". The bridge staff were even waving at us from inside the bridge. They were stopping in Belize for their next port.

Okay last post on this cruise because I am posted out about this topic.

I still have to admit the best and most fun time was when I spent the entire evening in one of the lounges with the 20 gay men where we sang and danced around that piano. That was really one of the best memories I will always have. I just cannot convey how much fun I had that night.

I hope I covered what you were wanting to know. If you have a specific question you know you can always ask me. Either post it or email me. In the mean time I know some of you are frustrated about these CE's and so am I, but do not give up.

That is what you (or at least most of you said to me) about the contest and I didn't. I would have if it was not for your encouragement.
