Cruises

I've been on 7-8 cruises, and you're getting good advice and suggestions. Crocs are great but you may want sturdier shoes if you are going biking or hiking in port. Shore-blessed excursions are pricey but they'll get you back to the ship on time or the ship will wait, not like when you are on your own, so decide what might be fun to schedule or do on your own. Carnival has descriptions of port trips on their site. Lots of good food aboard but we've always lost weight while aboard from running around day and night. I love being on the balcony at night, looking up at the stars or down at the dolphins or flying fish. It's beautiful at sea at night. Have a great time!
