JohnH,
Did you enjoy the cruise because you were with your family, or did you
actually enjoy the cruise? What activities did you enjoy, and how was the
food? I have heard people say the food was great, but I always thought they
meant that there was a lot of food.

I would like to hear your overall impression.


I actually had a great time.

The food was terrific, well prepared, well served, and copious. At dinner, if I
saw several appetizers that looked appealing, I'd order several. Or, I'd order a
couple of the same one, like escargots. Sometimes I'd order two different
entrees. I'd forego breakfast and lunch, sometimes, to rationalize pigging out
at dinner.

We went to the main show (live) every night, and they were most enjoyable. After
the main show, we'd usually go to one of the adult clubs for the show there,
comedians, band, magic show, etc., all with an adult theme. After that, about 11
pm, we'd walk the decks, have a cappo, or just go to the cabin and read.

On St. Maartins, everyone, except me, went to the beach on the French side of
the island. I wasn't into beaching, so I just picked up the camera and strolled
around Phillipsburg. Had a great time.

Having the kids and grandkids there just added to a great time. I'm planning to
do it again, and will probably foot the bill (or at least part of it) for my
older daughter and her family (with the three boys) to go. (She's the one just
diagnosed with breast cancer.) It's something they would probably never do, and
I think they may need something to break up, at least temporarily, that black
cloud hanging over their heads.

As I mentioned to Jim, I took three paperbacks to read during the six days on
the boat. I didn't finish one!
