I have yet to go an excursion....I’m like, I love the ship. Why would I leave?
That said...might be in Europe this year, and I will definitely leave the ship for that. Hamburg for a day.
Eventually want to do Scandinavia....
Excellent post by the way. We should start a “cruising is awesome” FR group!
Excursions. We did one in Belize to see the ruins. Mostly looking at a pile of rocks sandwiched between two long bus rides. Weren’t impressed. Our next cruise will take us to San Juan where we will visit the fortress. Looking forward to the night time sail away with the fortress all lite up.
Right now, we have two dogs. They’re entering their elder years and as long as we’re lucky to have them with us, we will not kennel them for longer than the time to take a Caribbean cruise.
There are some other cruises we’d like to take. The wife does not wish to fly but perhaps I can overcome that reluctance and we can do a European river cruise. Would love to do a Panama Canal passage.
We are retired now and cruising is an opportunity to enjoy life. Getting drunk on a beach at an All Inclusive isn’t as attractive as it used to seem.
By the way, CruiseCritic offers a free forum very similar to Freerepublic for discussion of cruise related topics. The smoking and formal night threads can get a bit heated but you can learn a lot there. I post there as Rocketman275.
