Hi Jan,
My husband, Alan, and I will be cruising on our first crossing (CROSS) Nov. 2007. Initially, I did have some concerns as to how I would do with so many days at sea. In the past, we've selected very port intensive itineraries, preferably with no sea days. We finally reached a decision to give the crossing a try.
The first half of our crossing will be very port intensive; the second segment sea days. I'm hoping I'm so tired out from being on the go during the first segment, that I need those sea days to wind down on the second segment!
I'd love to have too many options from which to choose on those sea days!
