You know - I felt that same way about cruises for many years and never looked to go on one. Until about 2 years ago when my second Mom wanted to celebrate her 80th birthday by going on a Caribbean cruise. Me and 24 members of my "adopted" family - we had a blast! And I fell in love at every stop we made, even coming back with phone numbers of people I met who insisted I should take them just in case I ever come back to Isla Roatan, Grand Cayman, Belize.... again. Even our waiter, Rolando was an absolute sweet heart. When a coworker of mine took the same cruise a short while later, she looked for him to give him my regards and he responded "Oh Susana? The nurse from New York who was with all those Indian people. Give her my love!" It was fun. Not something I would do all the time but definitely worth it as a different experience. Snorkeling at Sting Ray City was awesome. So was climbing the Mayan ruins in Belize. We partied every day and every night. I have no regrets.

So I guess it pays to keep an open mind but all in all, I still love coming back to Jamaica time after time after time....

Peace.
