Default cruises

We have been on over 30 cruises and hope to live long enough to do 30 more... love cruising... (guess you can tell that).... we have 3 cats so we have to find a cat sitter.... we have someone come in every other day and clean the box and make sure the food and water bowls are filled....get our mail etc... once we leave we never worry about the pets... we know they are in good hands.... We always take the seasick pill the night before we leave, and every night on the cruise... keep a full stomach (like that is hard to do) and do a lot of walking.... and of course you must sit on the deck and take a nap... we are cheap cruisers... we don't drink so that saves us a LOT of money...but we like our soft drinks and bring them with us... we try to find a port we can drive to so we don't have to fly and spend the extra money... Jacksonville is a great place to park your car and sail.... we don't go to the formal nights anymore.. but we do attend all the shows.... we bring clothes to relax... we don't go to dinning room much anymore... we like the buffet etc... we REALLY relax... whatever you do have fun.... enjoy the sea air.... totally relax and you will be back again... becareful your final bill... people get the shock of their lives the last day..... let us know how your first cruise goes.... I use cruises.com... if I find a cruise cheaper...they match it....
