Back from their cruises and back to school!  The final reports are sailing in from families that took "last-blast-of-summer" cruises -- and a terrific time was had by all.

Leading the way were the Carnival Fantasy (New Orleans) and Carnival Ecstasy (Galveston), both sailing 4 and 5 night itineraries to Mexico.

"We had so much fun!"

"Our room was really nice and the kids loved the "bunkbeds."

"I did things I've never done before -- snorkeling and dune-buggy racing!"

"The food was really good."

"Thanks so much for all your help -- we really needed that vacation."

"The weather was perfect the whole time!"  Wow -- wish I could take credit for that!

Another couple just got back from a Mexican Riviera cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas (Los Angeles) -- said they had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the ports-of-call just as much as I said they would.

A few more folks are on Alaska cruises this week, so next week I'll have a final wrap-up of the 2009 Alaska season ahead of our 2010 preview.
