I get to spend a lot of time with my thoughts and personal interests, and am able to fully relax.

I agree with that as well. Our Disney cruise was the most relaxed I've every been by the end of it (and highlighted just how tense work had been making me and played a huge role in Lani and I deciding I should quit).

If Disney were the only cruise line around and that itinerary there only one I'd probably take it. But they aren't (and they aren't even the best one around) so I'm ok with being picky about the ports of call (price was 70% of why we bowed out of the Mediterranean cruises but the uninteresting ports (or ports where we couldn't stand the thought of only being there for 8 hours) was the other 30%).

I would add that I'm hesitant about Disney cruises...blackjack is an important factor in my cruising equation.

Yes, I almost didn't go on the Disney when I learned they didn't have a casino.

But if you liked your cruise(s) on other carriers I think it is safe to say you'll like Disney (assuming the good company requirement, of course) even without it. And as tacky as "a Disney-owned private island" sounded to me, it actually made for a very nice day (though I wouldn't want to stay there any longer than that).

When I travel, I don't plan heavy itineray's. I like to wander, explore, see what the location reveals to me. I always have a general idea of what I WANT to see before hand I just don't plan out my days. If I feel like lounging, I lounge. One of my best memories in Paris involved lounging in our room with a view of the Eifel tower listening to the buskers play their accordian in the square below. That is something I couldn't have planned, but it is a treasured memory. I also never seem to have a problem tuning out the world when I'm on vacation.

The only cruises I've always been interested in involve destinations - Alaska, the Mediterranean or Agean. The big draw for me with this cruise is crossing and Panama Canal, but, without a port, it's sort of like driving through New York City. What fun is that?

Vegas...

Not Afraid · 01-23-2007, 05:37 PM

Yeah, I don't like Vegas either.

I know. I'm a freak.

I love Vegas, because I'm a freak (It's the greatest town for peoplewatching)
