Evelyn and I have just returned from our fifth cruise, and it was wonderful! We have planned this cruise since returning from our last cruise in January ’08, and picked it because it when to Grand Turk Island where I was stationed while in the Navy.
While it was great to visit Turk. The real enjoyment was several other things. We got upgraded to a balcony cabin with a 30-foot balcony, the entertainment and shows were very good, and we had the best group at dinner we have ever been with. (side note) As I type this Evelyn just brought me coffee and muffins, at last she has learned how I should be treated. (end side note)
Although we did have one bit of excitement when our shower overflowed into the room, our cabin was great. It was larger than the cabins we have been in on our other cruises and it was located on the 6th deck and on the very back of the ship. It wrapped around the back corner of the ship, therefore we had a great view from the back and from the side of the ship.
The entertainment was top notch and included a very funny and very non R-rated comedian, several Vegas style shows, and a cruiser revue. We must have had the most talented cruisers ever! The lady that sang “the Dollie Parton/Whitney Houston hit “I will always love you” was fantastic, and the 75 year old harmonica player was great too.
On our last cruise dinner was not very enjoyable because we were at a large table by ourselves. On this cruise we were with three very friendly couples. Den and Di from southern Illinois, both retired and on back to back cruises, John and Andrea from Florida via New York, an investment adviser and a work from home data entry clerk, and James and Jaime, both pharmacist from around Indianapolis. Oh we all laughed so hard, we told stories and really enjoyed each other’s company.
Over all this was by far our best cruise so far …………….BUT JULY IS COMING!!!!
P.S. I was going to post lots of pictures, but Granny Grumps has alll ready posted them on facebook.

What a great blog you have here! I wish I had time to do this myself! Maybe I’ll find the time! It was great having you both at our dinner table. We both had so much fun with everyone! We learned alot too, like to take small bites of food, water coming up from drains in bathrooms is fresh water, it can get cold in winter in the south and of course, not all cruise talent (Bruce) is the same!
