We just got back from our anniversary cruise, we had a great time. We did go with the lowest price cabin trying to save a little money. The lowest price cabins typically are guarantee in a class of cabin so you know you will not get stuck somewhere else in the ship. We guaranty a class in the middle of the ship, about half way up the ship. We figured that if we were given an inside cabin, we would just spend more time on deck. We were a little worried about getting sea sick, and did not want to be high on the ship or towards the front or back of the ship. I took a video of what we ended up with.







On our last cruise we had a table to ourselves, but this cruise we were assigned a table with others. After starting at one table, we moved to another table for a little more secluded area of the dining room. We really enjoyed the couples at the new table, and ended up spending most of our time in port with them. We were all about the same age, I was the oldest, Laura the youngest. One couple was from OH the other was from OR just south of Portland.










The is us in a church in MEX, we were a little tired, taking in the view inside the church.












We are still unpacking, so I will post more after Christmas when I have a little more time.

looks like a pretty nice room. Everyone should go on a cruise at least once. They are a lot of fun! Sounds like you guys had a great time. I'm glad it worked out so well for you.

It was a great room. It was somewhere we would never had picked out ourselves. It was on the top state room floor, on the very back of the ship where there could have been a lot of motion. It did not bother us at all, but now that we are seasoned cruisers.

I answered this blog once but erased it--since then I've talked to you in person so I know what a great time you had. Don't you think you should tell the others who the couple from Ohio was?

Michael said...

I think everyone else knows who they are. If you dont look at the couple holding hands a little closer.

Dan Ward said...

The couple holding hands.. It looks like Doug Brower to me. I haven't seen Doug for over 10 years though so I can't be sure.

Michael said...

Its a Brower, but not Doug. He lived ten minutes from Doug. The hair color should give it away.

Dan Ward said...

well then it must be mark. I haven't seen mark for closer to 15 years so I don't know why i didn't recognize him.

I bet that was fun for you to end up on a cruise with one of your good friends from high school.

Charlie said...

I see my old friend's faces!
