At first, I thought it was awful but then I realized there was a dessert buffet by the pool. Well life's too short to not embrace that. I'm not sure I'd go on another cruise but I was impressed by how nice it was. They were wonderful with my little kids and it was an easy way to travel. Perhaps when I'm older, I'd try one again...Jen Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350176925586602027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348050486280502480.post-42579210914765584222016-03-20T05:33:17.477+00:002016-03-20T05:33:17.477+00:00That is a lovely thing you did for your dad.

But where did you actually GO on the cruise?! I told my family for years I would never go on a cruise, but I caved a few years ago (just to please my husband & kids you understand). We cruised the Mediterranean and felt like royalty for 12 days.
