More cruise blogs to follow

I've really been spoilt this season for cruise blogs to follow. I can't thank everyone enough as I know how time consuming doing a blog on the fly while travelling, with limited internet is.
So this is a few more and a list of the current cruises in progress. Some of these blogs are from my previous posts. An interesting side note, look at how many Rick or Ricki's are cruising and blogging.
