David and Betty, we wish you a wonderful upcoming cruise and loved hearing your experiences. Though not as seasoned travellers as you are or visiting such exotic ports, we still remember our first cruise as 23 year olds on an old tub called the Mardi Gras, the first Carnival ship. Lower and upper berth, inside cabin, with the toilet inside of the shower, and having to go down the hall to a special room to blow dry your hair. (which was a slightly different color back then! LOL) We were in heaven and thought we had truly arrived.

Another first was on the Crown Princess, having our very first balcony cabin. We sat in Charlotte Amalie Harbor sipping champagne on our balcony at sunset and thought, it doesn't get much better than this!

Then our first luxury cruise on Seabourn for our 25th anniversary. Having the deck barbeque under the stars as the band played Chicago's "You're my Inspiration". I sang it (along with the band that is) to the woman that I adore, totally entranced and totally oblivious to the fact that everyone was now watching our not so private exchange.

What Memories!
