Thank you Marcie, and for all the rudeness, there were some very nice people, I guess it was just a shock because it's different than when you are in a land hotel and may encouter it differently.
I'm not off cruising, but I think I might try something like a transatlantic, where you really get to enjoy shipboard life (because of no shore days) and then you reach your destination and get to spend as much time as you want. I think actually that for us might be good. I think when you go to a place where you really want to spend time in ports of call, then you have to make choices unless you have the stamina of Lance Armstrong, which we don't (unfortunately).
Thank you again for all your help and to everyone else, for all your help and patience and time.
