Our first cruise (of I hope many) will be on 08/27/06, Serenade of the Seas to Alaska, leaving from Vancouver.

 

We are both 47 at the time of the cruise and from Las Vegas...I'm so excited about this cruise I can hardly stand it, my DH...well, not so excited, but I've got enough enthusiasm for the both of us...Hoping he'll come around by the time we leave! :-)

 

Fun Thread!

First cruise was in November of '98 on a Royal Olympic ship in the Aegean sea. While the boat was small and there wasn't much to do onboard, the ports (Turkey, Santorini, Crete, Rhaodes, Mykonos) made up for it!

I saw this quote on another thread and was glad I signed up for Oceania 5/1/06 - Athens to Rome cruise

 

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Mark Twain

 

Better late than never!! My kids are very happy for me! Told them I'm spending their inheritance and they said "Go and Do It, Mom!"

The ports of call are scheduled for Cozumel, Mexico; Belize City, Belize; Roatan, Honduras; and Cancun, Mexico. We're hoping that Wilma didn't wreak too much havok on those ports! We can't wait until December!! :)

[LonghornCruizer]

Myself and wife to be on first cruise (except my Navy cruises:D ) On the Glory Valentine cruise 11/9/2006

[cruzinteachr]

I'm going on my first cruise with my family to the caribbean. My mother and father are taking my sisters, brother and me on probably one of our last family vacations. We are going on a holiday cruise from dec 23 thru jan 2. Its my first and I'm really excited. I am a bit nervous though, all the books I've read have said that the longer the cruise, the older the people are on the ship. I'm 24, I have my 20 and 19 year old bro and sisters but I would like to meet some others. Is it hopeless?

Do I need to book outings, excursions now ? If so what would you so for a family of 5 the kids want to shop as I do, swim but I'd like to do at least one thing but I'm not sure when we'll be where .. does that makes sense?

Are we gonna have to take a cab to get to these places, I don't want to end up in middle of somewhere and not no how to get back and miss the ship. Can't I just walk? HELP ME I lost !!!:confused: what do they do there in the Bahamas on the 4th?

My husband and I are booked for that cruise in Feb of 06 to celebrate our 30th anniversary! PLEASE tell us all about it when you get back? I have become addicted to this board and the reviews by people who sail. I am 46 and hubby will be celebrating his 53rd birthday at sea as well so we hope there are alot of great things to do in the evenings!

 

Don't forget to share your experience when you get home and happy sailing!
