Shipmates:
I need your feedback about future group cruises with other Marines.
A few of you have told me you are ready to go again, almost anytime, anywhere. But others have expressed reservations unless we can come up with new itineraries. With most cruise ships leaving from Florida, it is hard to find a trip that visits ports of call other than the same Caribbean Islands most of us have seen before.
Another question is the best time of year to cruise. I will do my best to find an affordable trip that offers a new itinerary and perhaps from a different port. To help my search, I would appreciate your responses to the following topics.
If you are not interested in future cruises, then no need to go on. Thanks for reading this far. If you look forward to traveling on these cruises with Marines in the future, or if you think it may be a possibility, please continue.
