chip - I actually read that thread on the CC Princess board some time ago, LOL.
I have to agree with Tom as well though - the Internet is not a given right and when you surf/email on someone else's system, you're bound by their rules. And I think all cruise lines do this to some extent - some more imperfectly than others. To do so otherwise, would open them up to more liability than they'd be willing to take on.
