Too old to enjoy cruising anymore, but ahhh back
in the day..

Let's see.

Mexican Riviera, roundtrip from San Franciso,
twice.
The Seine in France...Alaska.

But my absolute faves were what they call the
'turnaround cruises'. For about $500 each they
flew you to Vancouver and for 10 days they came
down the West Coast, stopping along the way in
Seattle and Catalina Island among other places.

Very quiet but full of entertainment with
windows on the ocean.

Repositioning cruises they call them ;-)

Where you headed?

I love cruising for many reasons.. mainly you get to visit several places on one trip and build a list of places you've like to go to for longer..

I've been on a few myself.. both Eastern (St. Thomas, San Juan, Dom. Republic) & Western (Jamaica, Caymen Islands, Cozumel) Caribbean and I've done a Mediterranean one as well (Barcelona/Spain, Rome/Italy, Athens/Greece, Izmir/Turkey, Alexandria & Cairo/Egypt, Valletta/Malta)

I have a preference to the Norwegian line.. been on 2 and never disappointed.. food is amazing (and healthy) and it's casual travel/dining..

where am I headed? at the moment.. nowhere.. too expensive to go solo.. and I need to renew my passport before I go ANYwhere.. but places I'd LIKE to go are UK, Europe, Asia..

Traveling to the USA right now isn't really an option, sadly.. and many cruises leave from a US port of call.. bummer

I've never been on a repositioning one.. was considering trans-atlantic but a lil concerned about being on the sea that long without shore leave..
