I like cruising. I confessed my rookie status earlier and after 10 days of mastering a routine at sea, feel more like a seasoned sea traveler. It is very different than the trips most of us take because most of us take trips not vacations. These are most definitely vacations where teams of dedicated staff fawn on your every need.
The formal component I enjoyed more than expected. I thought playing dress up would be a hassle and pretentious. It wasn't and I actually looked forward to it. Also the fact that I was one of the younger cats on the promenade deck makes it a bit less painful.
There is another cruise on the horizon. In April Ale and I will be joining some workmates from a client on another RC to Key West and Cozumel. It is only a 4 nighter, but I will be very interested in the patrons this time around. The Panama cruise was 10 days and if you have kids or committments like most people, you are limited to retired folks as your travel companions; not that there is anthing wrong with that! With 4 nights spanning a weekend, I would expect to see more people raised during the Reagan years rather than one of FDR many terms in office.
