Joanna, I agree with you about the water, ridiculous to charge for that. No one can drink the tap water on these ships, it's really rank. The bottled water is a necessity, not a luxury.
I'm really thinking about booking a short but sweet cheapie cruise on HAL or Princess (Carnival is a no no for me)to be eligible for the Seabourn Club Discount. Our Crystal cruise was great but...next! Seabourn is the goal, heck everyone needs a goal.
