Pay attention to the interwebs tomorrow, as according to Royal Caribbean’s PR Twitter feed, we can expect a major announcement about their upcoming Project Sunshine vessels sometime tomorrow. Could we finally get a glimpse of what these new ships are going to look like? I’ve got nothing but rampant speculation, so I can’t wait to see what the company has to say.

I like and hate the big ships. More space, more venues and eating choices but the people. It becomes like a cattle car a some point. We just got back from an MSC cruise in the Med on the Splendida and it was good mostly because we booked into the Yacht Club area and could escape the crowds, get off the ship before the other 3000 people, etc.

I want to be a frequent floater. You need to start your own club and have Plat & Gold & Silver member cards to give out! đŸ™‚
I will work on that!
