I totally agree with you Dave.
If I had the time, amount of credit cards and were younger, I too would find better deals. Been there, done that.
But alas.....we are 79 and 81 years old. You would never know it of course. π€
We want as many long cruises with new itineraries and fun people as we can squeeze in while we are still upright. π
I am usually pretty stressed out the weeks before we cruise, preparing to be away for a month, packing, arranging medications etc.
I don't want DH to be lifting heavy baggage anymore.
The many hours it takes to reach some of our destinations, no matter how perfect the flights are never easy on we silver haired devils.
So.....in our case, we put our faith in Silversea. For good or for bad.
So far it's been pretty darn good.
Never enough pampering for Madame.
