I've noticed quite a few new members sneaking into the conversations.
I would like to welcome them all to our community. Please add to this post (or start your own) and introduce yourselves. We really are a bunch of friendly folk here, willing to help you with your questions, or just carry on an old fashioned conversation.
Welcome to the Forum, NurseNancy - its great to have you here!
Welcome to the forums, we are a nice bunch and can be helpful to any questions asked. Between all of us we have been there and done that to most cruises, ships and ports. Even those of us with 20 or 30 cruises under our belts we still have questions on places we have not gone to yet.
Please join in on asking questions and answering others peoples questions that you know about. We are a lot smarter as a cruise community as were are as a single person.
You'll find lots of useful information. Welcome to the forum!!
Hi there! Just starting to join in forums a bit.
Since my first first post got deleted yesterday in a freak accident involving (I believe) dark matter, I'll try again. I'm R86 (or Jack is fine too) and suddenly became interested in cruises a few weeks ago, being now at the tender age of 49.
I never considered going on a cruise before because I thought they ran in the many thousands of dollars, and because I'm prone to motion sickness. When I learned I was wrong about the first thing, the second thing didn't seem to matter as much, since I know there are a variety of medications available.
Never being one to stick my toe in first, I'm booked on two Carnival cruises from Galveston (which is a 2.5 hour drive away for me). I just hope I like the first one well enough to still want to go on the second one. 
Welcome to the site!! Enjoy the cruise!!
Welcome to Cruiseline! Glad to see more people coming in for the conversation. And if a question is accidentally answered, so much the better!
After taking my first cruise in '96, it took me almost 20 years to realize that cruising was not as expensive as I thought, and have branched out from the least expensive line to the "better" mainstream lines (Celebrity and Princess")
I hope that your journeys (both your next cruise as well as your cruising career) are full of sunny days and smooth seas!
