Petoonya, so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband in April of this year, and like you, I am not through seeing the world. I went on a river cruise in August with an old friend, and I am going with my sisters, I think on the same cruise in reverse that you are going on, in May. I haven't ventured out on a cruise as a solo yet, but I think I could. It is easy to meet people on the small cruises, and Windstar travelers are so congenial, I think you will be fine. There will be moments when you are sad, but that is ok. It will get easier. I was wondering what happened to you, as you always provided such good information. Blessings to you and may your travels bring you joy.
