If you are a "lurker" and have questions, come on out of the shadows and ask away. The one thing I miss about my previous "home" forum is the opportunity to help newbies.

It's a great opportunity you have here--lots of knowledge about different ports, cruise lines, air travel, excursions. You name it and someone here probably has lots of knowledge to share.
Don't feel silly about asking anything. Heck, I asked AuntPinkie what a cucumber sandwich was, and she kindly answered me without making me feel like a total loser. And that's a pretty dumb question
