MY FIRST CRUISE

... and my last ... at least for some time to come. Definitely not my thing. I felt trapped on the ship. The islands were nothing but tourist traps. I found out later that I could have rented a car and went out exploring on my own.

The one good thing ... thank goodness ... is that I did not get motion sickness.

Funny Karsten; My interest in driving a vehicle of any kind, anywhere anytime was all spent in those 30 years mostly on the street, so I just love the cruise where I can be pampered and treated like royalty ever day I am on board and can explore world recognized locations when I am on shore. At sea, exercise and the pool in the morning, food to eat everywhere day and night, games through the day and theatre every night. Travel throughout the ship with not one single traffic jam. As far as tourist traps go you live in a city that is one of those and must have developed the skills for getting around those. On Oahu we took a four and a half hour tour almost all the way around the island for $2.50 cents each on public transit. Hell they even gave us return transfers to get back to where we started from for the original fare. Great Photos. >>> Dick

Pretty photos in this gallery. I agree, cruising makes me feel trapped too. I prefer a road trip.
