Cruise Critic  Friends

Our Review

Cruise Critics Friends

We met on the Cruise Critic Roll Call board, we talked, we laughed, we cried, we planned and plotted, we shopped we changed hair styles, we married off kids, we waited patiently for the song of the day, we traveled, we discussed TV shows that have a fall preview next week last season... In short, we got to know each other in cyber space. Then finally the day came .. we met IRL (In real life for those who don't do computer speak) and the fun was on!!

I am not captioning these pictures .. you know who you are, and if you weren't there do you really care who we are .. just watch the fun we had. Note to some .. these pictures have been censored .. so rest easy :)

We've taken 11 cruises I think, and I sure wish we had done this on all of the previous cruises.  I don't know if it was just luck to run into so many wonderful people through the Roll Call board, or if this is common, but I am sure going to try to use the same tactics for my next cruise.

It's just so much more fun to head off in groups of friends who already know each other and thus feel much more comfortable as you explore your new environment.  Usually at least one of our group had been there previously, or had relatives nearby, etc., adding to the group experience.

I'm pretty sure we will be cruising with some of the members of this group again on future cruises.

Cruise Critic is a really great place to learn, make friends and help out other cruisers. cruisescritic. try it you will like it !!

Special note here .. Judy is a Cruise Planner .. she can be reached at bestcruiseplanners . but be sure to get her to go with you on the cruise .. she is a blast !!!

Note from Bill:

Originally I was going to have just thumb nailed pictures displayed like the rest of the site, but Kathy wanted a slide show.  So I looked around on Google for a free slide show using JavaScript, and found this one.  Works pretty good.

The thumb nailed pictures that you click on to enlarge are below in case you want to find a particular photo more quickly than going through 202 pictures one at a time in the slide show.

Have fun.
