Explorer of the Seas 03-15-09 12 Night Caribbean Cruise.

Linda and I experienced our first cruise in 1987 when our daughter was employed by a travel agency. We spent the next 15 years raising our family and delaying the gratification of cruising again. We began serious cruising in March of 2002 after retiring from a 30 year career in law enforcement. We are in our early 60's and reside in north-central Pennsylvania.

This was our 20th cruise, our 12th on a Royal Caribbean ship and our 6th on the Explorer of the Seas. With this sailing we now have 13 cruise credits and 98 days onboard Royal Caribbean Ships. Our first Royal Caribbean sailing was on the Voyager of the Seas in April of 2005 and within 42 months we achieved Diamond Member status. We own stock in Royal Caribbean and we own more than the 100 shares required to receive shareholder benefits. We continue to sail on Royal Caribbean as it is our preferred cruise line. Read more
