Just for fun, let's share our favorite things about cruising. My favorites are:

* Visiting new places and exploring exciting ports of call

* Spending time relaxing with my family at meals and doing fun shore excursions together

* Soaking up the sun

* Sailing in and out of ports and watching the ocean

* Meeting lots of wonderful people

Just returned from the Dave Koz Jazz Cruise and it was fantastic. Launched by Jazz Cruises LLC, we sailed on board the MS Westerdam (Holland America) and as this was my first cruise, I was really impressed! Most passengers were repeat visitors from previous Koz cruises. It was a blast - highly recommend it. Everyone on board shared the mutual interest of smooth jazz and I made a number of friends.

We travel Princess. Cruising is a wonderful vacation - not a care in the world except to have fun.

The times we have traveled,

the food is good
the service is good
the excursions are handled well
there is lots of entertainment - shows, games, educational opportunities, storytellers, etc.
there is the spa if you'd like that
there are pools
there are rangers or tour directors on board many times to give you an overview of what to expect when you get to your location

I've not taken a theme cruise but have seen them advertised.

I don't know if this has ever been mentioned here, but given how often it happens to (mostly) lone women on a cruise I thought it should be brought up - Cruise ship rape. At the very least, it's something to be wary about. National broadcasts of investigative reporting on this were very disturbing.

Just googling the topic is astounding and here is a site for survivors: Cruise ship rape

Very frightening.

I've never traveled alone but you must be careful wherever you travel.
