Do you guys have any preference as to moon phase when you book a cruise? Do
you even research and give consideration to whether or not you will have a
full moon or new moon during your cruise? I'm not considering this for
mystical reasons, but was wondering about it because of the ability to see
what is out there at night. Your thoughts?

Eileen always check the moon phase before we cruise (but not when we are
booking). She has some notion that her luck in the casino runs better
when the moon is full. I have yet to see consistent evidence for this.
The fact of the matter is that with enough time to play, all addicted
gamblers lose.

That's "turbulent" and people who are to cheap or to dumb to get a PC
deserve to be harassed over misssspellings.

Enteresting that you brought that point up. I figured I was the only
one that checked that item out! (smile)

I cruise the Mexican Riviera quite often... sometimes every other
month. And yeah I prefer to book when the full moon exists for the
beauty that is displayed in the night time hours versus a dark moon.

It is not my primary consideration... but definitely a factor.

Best regards

Bill

You've got a PC, so what's your excuse?
It's not TO dumb, it's TOO dumb, honey.

Pam,

Never thought of this, but a very good question. A full moon at sea is much
more impressive than a waning crescent....!

Well, gosh darn, aren't you a smarty.
