Have you been on a Cruise? How about Med Cruises or Mediterranean Cruises?
I used to think only “old” and filthy rich people go on a Cruise. I don’t know why I had that way of thinking. It must have been what I heard or what I’ve seen in the movies or television. But yes, that’s how I imagined people who are on a Cruise until I met some of the passengers of a cruise liner when I was still working in a hotel in the Maldives.
In that particular liner, they had all kinds of passengers – couple on their honeymoon, families with young children, families with older children, middle-aged couple, and old people.
I was surprised to find out that “younger” people are already cruising because I also had this misconception that cruising is for people who just want to lounge all day on the deck. I was wrong. Cruising is actually a lot of fun!
From that day onwards, I started googling and reading more about cruises.
There are actually so many cruises to choose from – family cruise, winter holiday cruise, asian cruise, summer cruise, european cruise, themed cruises, etc, etc. You name it, they have it!
What I am keen to join someday is the world cruise. Yes, it is pretty ambitious of me. But if you can dream, then dream big! I don’t see anything wrong with it.
Hubby and I have actually talked about this already. We would like to do this once our son has graduated from college. A sort of a graduation gift for him and for both hubby and I.
It is still a long way from now. But that is fine. It gives us plenty of time to save for the big day. It should be fun and exciting!
I just read a few of your posts here. In 2009 we took a Mediterrean cruise, 12 days for less than $500. I think it was even less than $450 with all the taxes. I suggest you do this cruise, but go with the bigger shiplines like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, or NCL (Norwegian Cruise Line) because their prices are really good. WE took NCL and the 12 days of cruising took us to 5 different countries – Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and Malta. Our embarkation and disembarkation port was Barcelona, Spain.
I would love to do this again and again. So much fun.
Wow! Really? 12 Days for $500? That sounds really fair. I will talk to the hubby now. LOL! Thanks Photo Cache!
