Tim, although all of our cruises have been on Carnival, January&#39;s cruise will be the first on the Miracle.  We will be sailing out of Ft. Lauderdale to St. Maarten, St. Lucia and St. Kitts.  Our cruise next month, is on the Conquest out of Galveston, sailing to Key West and 2 Bahamian ports.  Our last cruise was also on the Conquest, but a different itinerary.  I am really looking forward to both - our cruise in 6 weeks is going to be with our youngest son, Chris, and his girlfriend Jessica.  She has never been on a cruise nor seen a cruise ship other than in pics and on tv, so I am really looking forward to her reaction when she first lays eyes on the ship&#33;&#33;&#33;
