In reply to the discussion: I'm going on a cruise. What can you tell me? [View all]Backseat Driver
(4,671 posts)23. I hope you both have a wonderful relaxing trip together
among interesting people - I admit I've got a history of some mild-to-moderate sea-sickness on smaller craft just sitting at the dock waiting for a Hawaiian river cruise, but they claim that's not a thing at all on these huge ships. For that reason, I decided, to my regret, against a visit a couple days later for a ride out to the USS Arizona site. DH's dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor post-attack. Sad now that two islands' memories have slipped away to different climate change events. On a different trip, I had no symptoms on a rough trip to the base of the falls on Maid of the Mist at Niagra, however.
Be safe and happy on your getaway!

Only 2 days, not as much as I would have preferred. But I had despaired that I would ever get there

It was not my choice, really. Hubby wanted to go. He doesn't do art tours like I used to.

My daughter freaked out over this. The ship has hand sanitizers everywhere and especially before

Get travel insurance. It's expensive but well worth it. Ignore the naysayers " floating Petri dish"
