Well, Wendy and I will go on our first cruise ever, a 5 day Caribbean tour. We’ll be on the Carnival ship, Holiday, their oldest and smallest ship. At 733 feet, though, it doesn’t seem small to me. Our destinations are Progreso, Yucatan, and Cozumel, Mexico.

I’ve been browsing around, reading cruise reviews, and of course you can find everything from horror stories to excellent reviews. About 75% are positive. One review in particular was straightforward and helpful.

I just hope it’s not 5 days of waiting in lines for everything we want to do and heavy crowds everywhere we turn. Some good food, good company, and a relaxed atmosphere would be really nice. We’ll be in good company anyway… Wendy’s parents and sisters are going, and we always have good times together.

We’ll be on the starboard side, lowest deck, with a picture window, situated just about mid-ship. They do have wireless Internet access, and if it’s less expensive than gasoline I’ll probably use it.
