Hi everyone, Thanks so much for your input. Sounds like a cruise can be as flexible as you want it to be. Would you suggest a shorter cruise of 7 days for a first time trip? I would like to take the Alaskan cruise, but with hubbys'schedule it becomes too late in the fall. What about a Mexican Riveria cruise? Are the ports as undesirable as some people say? What line and ship can you suggest. A table for two eh? Oops, now you know I'm a cannuck.lol Dinner in your room sounds nice too. I think it may be nice to dine with others on the days you are at sea and then if we happen to spend a day in a port, instead of getting ready for dinner after a busy day just have a quiet dinner in our room. I'm sure Ill be back with plenty of other questions and will spend some time reading your forums. Thanks again.

Hello everyone! My husband and I have never cruised before and I would really like to try it and see if it suits us. If it's alright with all you "cruise crazies" I would like to give a little background. I'm hoping you can help me decide. My husband works overseas on a 5 week rotation so we tend to be somewhat selfish with our time together when he is home. To me, cruising seems to be a real social affair and I wonder if we would even fit in. Don't get me wrong, we consider ourselves to be quite friendly people, a little introverted maybe. I'm a little concerned that our dinner companions may feel slighted or have a less favourable opinion of us if we choose to dine alone in our stateroom at times. We have had a very busy couple of years and I am looking forward to a relaxing vacation. We had been planning a land trip to Italy but I just do not feel up to running around the country, packing, unpacking etc etc. I would appreciate your comments.
