A friend of mine this week asked me to describe my cruise experience to him. I told him that it was like I had a hotel room attached to the Home Town Buffet. And if his dream was to live at the Home Town Buffet for a week, then going on a cruise was for him. However, I felt that it wasn't for me.

Don't pay the money for "The Faster Way to Fun" as I did. You will have more fun buying 6 drinks on board or lighting your money on fire. It doesn't do anything to save you time at the Port of Charleston or getting on or off the ship while you are sailing. I was carted along with the rest of the herd at every port and stop and received no special privileges.

Be aware also that it is going to take a really long time to get on the ship and off the ship. Be ready to wait in lines especially on the first and last day of your voyage, I waited over 2 hours to get on the ship and over an 1 1/2 to get off. During the port days it took a few minutes to get off and a little more to get back on. When getting back on the ship, my fellow passengers tended to be a little ruder and more boisterous then when they were getting off. One "lady" let out a huge fart and then belched for 20 seconds like a pig while standing in front of me to get on the elevator. At that point, I decided to take the steps instead of riding up with her.

The room was bigger than I expected. The bed was comfortable and I really thought the towel animals on my bed each night were adorable. The room was always straightened up when my husband and I returned from a stroll or meal. The down side of the room was that I could hear the people dropping weights and working out in the fitness room on the upper deck, and the TV in my cabin had blown-out spots on it along with a volume control that made some channels hard to hear.
