Thanks Gina! I'm glad to be back. We had a really good time with Gary's sisters, brothers-in-laws, and nieces. Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy the cruise very much. It was way too much walking for Gary- our room was in the front of the ship and the dining rooms were in the back -so it was just too much walking for him 3 times a day. He had to take lots of naps because he was just so tired all the time. We had 4 port stops and he was only able to get off at 2 of them because he was just so tired from all the walking.
We also had 3 very rough days at sea - the swells and the motion of the ship was quite severe. We had nausea patches, so we didn't get sick - but the motion of the ship was very bad for walking.
He and I don't like having to "dress" for dinnner - although we sure enjoyed the food!!! The ship was very nice, the service was so attentive, but for some reason, we are just not "cruise people".
Gary and his sisters played lots of cards, visited, told stories, and they had a great time - but we need to have a great time with them in Arkansas or some place other than a cruise ship. It's just too hard for Gary. Also, he caught a NASTY gastrointestional bug and that is very yuky!
There are lots of wonderful things about a cruise - we've been on 3 - but Gary said this will be his last. I will only go again if I have a really good reason - like a 4 Women Talk cruise!
