Nana257 Posted March 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I am so excited We just booked our Retirement cruise. Last day of work is 4/30. We decided to celebrate the best way we know and that is by taking a cruise. And DH suprised me by getting a balcony. We usually stick with the oceanview. Going with his sisters who are also retiring and their DHs. The Legend will never be the same! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmberCascades Posted March 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Haha! I'd always heard it was the youngsters partying on Carnival ships. Now I see it's the retired folks that are rockin' those party boats. :) Good for you. It will be even more fun knowing you don't have to go back to work when you get home.

Smiling Cruiser Posted March 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Getting off that ship and not having to think about going to work the next day is wonderful. Last year I kept having to remind myself. (old habits do die hard!) You will also love being able to schedule your cruise whenever you want. Happy Sails and Happy Retirement!!! :) Edited March 12, 2014 by Smiling Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snc_cam Posted March 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Congrats... I retired last June and when we took our annual cruise in the winter, it was so nice to not have to deal with work after we got home... Hope you find your retirement relaxing and enjoyable.

sunnydaygirl Posted March 12, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Congrats, that is such an awesome idea. Will have to keep that in mind for DH. I think you need a limo to take you: to airport, to port! Leave in style, pile them all in!

fergusonvt Posted March 12, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Enjoy! We are retiring in 2 years and are planning on flying to England and seeing GB, Scotland and Ireland then doing a TA back to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted March 12, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Ferguson, Have been to GB a few times. If you get a chance, swing by StoneHenge, so interesting to see it "up close and personal". Also, my favorite spot is Cornwall (SouthWest). Have actually watched the sun "set" into the Atlantic. And the tides and cliffs are amazing there. We also stayed 2 nights in a "haunted castle" in Wales that is a B&B. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzkitty Posted March 12, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The very BEST thing about my Retirement Cruise on the Oasis last September was NOT having to go back to work as soon as we returned home!
