Well we took the plunge so to speak. Booked a Mediterranean & Adriatic Sea cruise going to Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, and Greece. Eleven days on the high seas. We’re going mid October pending a favorable outcome of my wife’s PET scan this Tuesday. We have a balcony stateroom ship assigned so I don’t know where on the boat it will be. We’re pretty jazzed up because this has been a trying summer with the cancer and all. Neither of us has been on a cruise before so the whole thing will be a new experience. The only things that concerns me is the ship is an older one commissioned in 1998 so it’s 20years old but has been refurbished. Reviews of the boat and all that comes with it are mixed. Many people said it was a great cruise and thought the boat was very nice, clean and good service. Then there were the reviews that weren’t so good and knocked everything. Didn’t know how to take that - my experience with American travelers is they can be very fussy and ultra particular. In any case we’re going cruising!!
