Hi everyone.

Just a question. Has anyone ever sailed on the same ship more than once besides a back to back cruise? I am in the very early stages of thinking about another cruise, but probably won't be until at least next year because of financial issues. I was looking at the Eastern Caribbean, and the itineraries that interested me are either the itineraries on the Freedom of the Seas on Royal Caribbean or the Carnival Dream.

I was just on the Freedom of the Seas back in October (which I loved, don't get me wrong), so I was leaning more towards Carnival. All of the ports with the exception of Coco Cay on the Freedom, or Nassau on Carnival, would be new to me, as the past cruises I've been on have been to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean.

One port I wanted to visit was St. Maarten, mainly for the experience at Maho Beach.
