Description:
Mary and Randy Wood:
"Cruisitude is the joy of cruising. The excitement of the shows, sports, ports, food, and all the things we love to do. The relaxation of being away from home and work and phones, along with the calmness of the sea, quiet of the spas and massages, peace of nothing we have to do. It's the thrill of having time to spend with each other undisturbed by life's necessities and stress; the sheer pleasure of having time to lay out on the beach or by the pool, watch the sunset, play in the many outlets available, and just be served a meal in our room looking at the sea and enjoying each other's company and renewing our love."
Ruth and John Shaw
"Cruisitude: "wearing" it through our expressions via person-to-person, through the phone, with our e-mails. In turn, it infects our clients to love cruises and travel."
Virginia DeDad
"Cruisitude is the overwhelming excitement when you can see your ship in the distance and just feel the stress level going away."
Wendy Cushing
"Cruising is Indulgence, relaxation, adventure and pure joy all rolled into one!"
Dale Borske
"Cruisitude is boarding a ship for the umteenth time in my life and the relaxing feeling that flows over me. It never gets old. It is just as exciting as the first time. Knowing the great time I will have with family and friends for a week is hard to describe but if you are a first time cruiser you will soon see what I am talking about."
Janice Sinardi
"That feeling you get on an open deck with the sea wind blowing on your face and your special someone holding you while you watch the sunset together. C = calm seas R = relaxing moments U = ultimate dining choices I = irresistible desserts S = serenity I = impressive service T = time for yourself U = unlimited activities D = dancing until dawn E = everything you could want in a vacation This is what Cruisitude is to me......"
Sherry Pace
"All the anticipation, the packing, the getting "there" jumping on the ship, bound for far away place with strange sounding name and then...and then......HOOOOOOOOOOT the wonderful sound of the horns shouting goodbye to the land & all of the cares stay behind you! Oh Yeah, I got CRUSITUDE and I never want to get over it!!!"
Melodie Williams
"Cruisitude is that feeling of excitement when you board the ship of the many adventures that await you."

Leaving for Florida next thursday with friends sailing on Freedom of the Seas 8/23, got this e-mail today from my friend who is traveling with us:

- Barbara Diener Johns Creek, Ga.
"Cruisitude: kicking back and relaxing -- leaving your daily cares behind anywhere from three days to three months; doing as little or as much as you want -- things you’d never be able to do back at home -- cave tubing, zip lining, glacier trekking, swimming with dolphins, and the list is endless; knowing that a cruise is the only way to travel to give you all the pleasures you want and deserve in one great vacation. Having the right cruisitude means relying on the professionals to: make all your culinary desires a reality; teach you the latest hip-hop dance; help you explore new world wonders; and treat you like such a pampered guest that you know you’ll return again and again. Having a grateful cruisitude means: respecting the oceans, seas and lands that are visited when traveling; recognizing the privilege of experiencing the beauty at that moment in time -- a privilege not all will attain; respecting different cultures and leaving a sense of brotherhood among all peoples. "
- Kim Ponder Griffin, GA

And, on top of that, fantastic entertainment. Cruistitude...getting the best bang for your buck."
