		<description><![CDATA[Karen,

It looks like you guys had a great time!  We love going on cruises.  We just dont like having to be limited on time by having to be back on the ship by a certain time.  That is why the next one we take it will port at places for a couple of days so we can stay longer and do more.

We SOOOOO miss you at Vlogemotions.  Its just not the same without you.  We hope you decide to start back soon!

Love and Prayers,

Tim]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jen, ours was all-inclusive. However, you could pay more if you wanted a REALLY fancy experience at a premium steak house sort of restaurant. But honestly, the regular food they feed the masses was fantastic. 

Pretty much everything is all inclusive. The only things NOT included in the price is any spa treatments, exclusive restaurants (reservation only, can&#039;t just walk in), alcoholic beverages (which we didn&#039;t care about anyway), soda (which sort of killed the boys - it was about $2.00 per can! Needless to say, they didn&#039;t drink very much soda), shore excursions (which is worth the money!) and of course, gratuities, which I&#039;ll cover later.

Everything else? Free (well, included in initial price). The food thing is our favorite part of the cruise experience. Mainly because food is ALWAYS such an issue when we go on vacation because, well, the guys like to eat. So the fact that they could eat, as much as they wanted, at any time, was HEAVEN for me; I didn&#039;t have to stress about what to feed them.

They also have a kick-ass kids camp, too. It&#039;s called Camp Carnival and the adults could drop their kids off and go do their own thing and the kids are well looked after. In fact, they have an entire section, just to themselves on the upper deck. I do believe it costs extra if they are dropped off in the evening, but during the day, they can drop by and play with other kids, if they choose. They also have a kick-ass area for pre-teens and teenagers. Cruises are totally geared toward kids.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It sounds like so much fun and of course now I&#039;m very intrigued to hear the next installment.

Was all the food free? I&#039;ve heard that not all cruises include the food in the cost or that not all food is included - but it sounds like yours was pretty all inclusive.]]></description>
