Great post! And glad to hear you are having fun. You're encouraging me! If I can't find a cruiser friend, would I be happy if I went alone and spent some time writing?
Thanks Kim! You’ve set the bar pretty high for travel writing and adventurous travels! :-) Cruising as an individual is pretty common. Most cruise lines charge a “single supplement” per room although Norwegian Cruise Line is rolling out single rooms on some its ships. These look pretty cool and are in their own area with a separate lounge so individual travelers can get to know each other better. My friend Andrea (@snippetsfromspain) took a Cunard cruise last year for a writing workshop. I’m sure she could share some helpful insights into that experience.
I loved this post!! It was funny, entertaining, informative, and inspiring. You two are travel whizzes! It didn't convince me to take a cruise. I've had my experience with that and unless I could do a repeat -- attending an intensive writing workshop--I wouldn't it again. And not only because the most stressful part was realizing that passengers took dressing up (way up) for dinner seriously. I did not come prepared either with wardrobe or interest for that.
Though I wouldn't cruise again, I can't wait to cruise vicarioulsy through the next posts from you fearless and adventuresome travelers.
The links and suggestions looked helpful for those interested. You're helping readers take a big leap forward.
This was SUCH a helpful post. I'm not a cruiser (yet!) but I'm inspired to check it out for the same reasons you were, so getting your take on it was really valuable. Thanks!
