About 12 years ago hubby and I took our first cruise (4 or 5 nights to the Bahamas on Royal Carib's Majesty of the Seas out of Miami) and it changed my life. I have some food issues which have become more serious as I get older. I have always been afraid to travel out of the country for fear that I wouldn't be able to find food to eat. Cruising changed everything! I can go anywhere that a cruise ship goes. I eat breakfast and dinner on the ship and I can always go without lunch, if necessary, while we are off the ship (although it is not usually an issue). I are now Diamond on Royal Carib with almost 30 cruises sailed. And I love cruising so much that I became an agent with a focus on the cruise industry.
We have sailed with Dan's mom, his daughter and son-in-law, my sister and her hubs, lots of my nieces, and some friends. We are waiting for the new (first) grandchild to be old enough to cruise although that will be a while since he is just 4 months old. If you cruise you know that you can be busy all the time on a ship, if that is your thing, or you can sit around and read and look out at the water (which is my fave thing to do). Something for everyone! We just got back from a 12-night cruise from Rome to Athens with several stops in Greece and three days in Israel. Now I am planning our next trip (Norway Fjords and Arctic Circle) for June. Anyone want to join us?
