Hi Shawn,
RH> It's something we're thinking about. Back in fall of 2022 we did a New
RH> England/Canada cruise with Steve's family. Due to stormy weather the
RH> captain had to cancel our stops in Bar Harbor, ME and St, John's Bay,
SH> If you make it to this part of Ontario be sure to let us know.
Will do, we might make it a part of a trip to VT. We'll be going up
again this year, hopefully no disaster relief this time but "normal"
VBS, community service and so on. Maple creemees will be a must.
RH> The cruise was nice--food was good but I think the Celebrity Cruise
RH> ship we were on back in 2017 was even better. We ate together in the
SH> We haven't done a cruise yet, though friends of ours keep telling us
SH> to try one.
We thought our first Alaska one would be the "one and only", then
Steve's mom wanted to do a family one to New England. While on that one,
Steve decided to book another Alaska trip to catch some of the things we
didn't on the first trip.
His parents and sisters have done a good bit of cruising but my parents
never did. Could be because Dad was WWII, Navy. One of my mom's sisters
did a fair amount of winter cruises to the Carribean area, especially
after her mom had a series of strokes, et. It was one way she could get
away for a few days yet be close enough to home (New Jersey) if needed.
After her mom passed away, she ranged further in her travels.
On our last cruise, since we didn't have family with us, we did
something differrent for the evening meal. We said that we would share a
table with whoever the wait staff would seat with us. As a result, we
shared the table with people from all over the world, quite an
interesting experience talking with them. One night we had all Americans
at the table but from different parts of the country so again, we had
quite the interesting conversation. That's been one of the fun parts of
these cruises--get to meet people from all over the world, with life
stories so different from yours.
