We had an uneventful trip home. The flights were on time and our wonderful neighbor picked us up at the airport. Today I went across the street and collected our mail from our other great neighbors, Sandra and Don, who take care of things when we’re gone. How wonderful to have such great folks to rely on!
Now for a summary of our cruise. We have been on many voyages and each has been great. I think a large part of the trip has to do with the expectations you have before you go. We always expect to have a wonderful time and always have had one. I’ve read comments from some of our fellow passengers and their experience was different. On this Ruby Princess cruise we encountered nothing but crew members who were cheerful, hard-working and eager to help. The food was better than what we remembered from the last cruise or two. The weather was mostly cooperative. We don’t mind days on the ship when we feel some motion. I guess we are fortunate that we don’t suffer from motion sickness. We have actually been on some cruises where we were disappointed because we felt as though we were in a hotel on land not a ship. On this cruise there were bouncy days which we enjoyed.
We don’t go to many shows or activities but from the daily patter there appeared to be many things to fill one’s time. The ports that we visited were incredible. In each place there are many new things to visit even if you’ve been there before. Sadly, Princess has dropped Lisbon from the transatlantic next year. That’s a shame because it is a wonderful city.
One of the best parts of this cruise were our fellow cruisers. We had a lot of friends who were also sailing and the time we spent with them is, as they say, priceless! I find the friendships that we’ve made cruising to be one of the most wonderful things about the whole experience. On this trip we sailed with people we first met in 2005 and it’s like sailing with family.
Cruising is great!
