Me too! I guess I've been on seven or eight, including one in the Mediteranian, one to Alaska, one to the Panama Canal, and one to Hawaii. My husband and I really enjoy the ship and it's activities, and visiting all the ports. It's great to unpack, and know that you won't need to pack again, read a map, find a restaurant, etc. etc. At sea, we "do our own thing". Sometimes I read, or take a class. My husband will go play bridge, or check out the sports activities. We both walk several miles a day.....just to try to compensate for the delicious meals! We've met some wonderful people on these cruises, and still keep in touch with many of them. We met one couple on our honeymoon cruise (37 years ago), and still exchange Xmas cards each year, even though we've never seen each other since!! I don't know if I could quilt on a cruise...the outdoors is so enticing....sea breezes, scenery, etc. Just too much other stuff going on.
My husband and I are planning the "trip of a lifetime" (for us, anyway). In January, we will fly to New Zealand to take an 18 day cruise & tour of NZ and Australia. We spend 12 days on the ship touring NZ, Tasmania, and then into Sydney. From there, we take two short flights and some bus trips to tour a little of Australia! We plan to add a couple extra days at each end to do things on our own. (Maybe that will include a quilt shop, or two) You see, I'm trying to keep this on topic!!
Getting excited already,
