Jackie:  In answer to your earlier question, which I did not see while aboard the ship.  The Sapphire is a fantastic ship.  We had been on the Diamond a couple of years ago and it was one of our favorites and the Sapphire is her IDENTICAL twin.  It was like returning to the home of an old friend.<br /><br />IMHO these two ships have a fit and finish and attention to detail second to none&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Will do a review later, but we love these two ships.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Holiday sailings are nice.  We must have had ten Christmas Trees in various location around the ship as well as light and garland all over the balconies of the Atrium.<br /><br />This was an Art Connoisseur&#39;s Cruise, so we got to meet a couple world renowned artists up close and personal.  And, before anyone asks, NO we did not buy any more art.  No more wall space.  And, the only one I really liked was 36K.<br /><br />Will post the review and some pics in a couple of days.
