Y'know, for the longest time I had absolutely no interest in cruising because my only knowledge of it was from the Love Boat show, and a friend of mine who just loves those booze cruises to Ensenada. I always thought they were just opportunities to laze around a pool in between pig-out fests at cheesy buffets. (Well some of them still are, I suppose!) It wasn't until a few years ago when friends of mine started coming home from Alaskan cruises with amazing photos and wonderful reports that I started even looking into it. And now look what's happened to me!
