I have similar story as Spirilfilled. I lost my job in 2009 and that was last time I cruse.
6 months ago I start working again and book cruise on Oasis of the Sea in June. I can't wait!
Great news CICA; good to know that some people that have had work related setbacks are making a comback both in the work market and the cruise industry. Having a job and now a cruise on the horizon are such positive things; you must be feeling GREAT !!
