For most of my life, I thought that I could never go on a cruise. I was sure that my motion sickness would keep me safely on solid ground. But when John and Katherine said they wanted to go on a cruise to Antarctica, my competitive spirit took over and I knew I had to go. Armed with scopolamine patches and plenty of dramamine, I got on the ship and I survived. In fact I loved it. Although we haven't been on too many ocean cruises, I can say that I love it now. Months before the mission call came, we booked a Caribbean Cruise and it was wonderful.
Fort Lauderdale - Bahamas -Jamaica -Roatan, Honduras - Belize - Cozumel - Key West
10 Fantastic days on Holland America's Eurodam.
Maximum Capacity 2104 passengers
Small compared to the giant Royal Caribbean - Icon of the Seas
Maximum Capacity 7600 passengers and 2350 crew.
I am not sure that I would enjoy that as much.
I'll stick with the smaller HAL ships.
A few things I loved
The steel drum band
Trinidad and Tobago's national instrument
They performed classical music as well as show tunes.
Amazing talent! None of them read music. They learn new songs just by listening and copying.
Yummy food from pizzas to fancy meals to lobster rolls.
No reason to ever be hungry on a cruise.
Love shipmates with a sense of humor!
And yes, it is easy to get turned around and lost on a cruise ship.
Sometimes strange things happen - like George getting a pedicure!
What a wonderful way to relax and enjoy spending time together before we head off to Peru for 18 months!
