Okay, that was quick. My cruise is in 3 weeks. Baltimore to Bimini and back. One of my Asylum Sisters has gone on this trip every February with her daughter and granddaughter for years. A couple of weeks ago, I told her that hey since she was driving to Baltimore, I might as well come along. As luck would have it the cruise was completely booked. But a couple of times a day, I checked back. Just as I was heading off to bed last night – a couple of suites and one outside cabin amidship way down at the water line opened up. Without hesitation – fired up the credit card and snagged the cabin. So, I spent the morning filling out forms, installing apps, and renewing my medical evac insurance policy.
And wondering “What the hell am I going to do on an old-school cruise ship”.
The ship stops for a day in Charleston. And, it docks downtown. I enjoyed Charleston when I made my Covid escape in the spring of 2021. So, that will be fun.
The ship, Vision of the Seas, also spends a day in Port Canaveral. I suspect that is to sell packages to Disney Land. I suspect this trip’s purpose is to sell me add-ons, packages, and excursions. Sort of like your printer’s purpose is to sell you ink. Royal Caribbean will find my wallet shut most of the time. But don’t tell them that.
Glad you have a plan to get out town. I booked that cruise/freighter around Tahiti for December!
Wow! That is too cool. I always wanted to do that. It might not be too late me.
