I think when people are treated with kindness and respect they tend to treat others in the same way. So I think all people from all over are wonderful. My advise to any cruiser is this, get up on the Lido deck and dance, the teenagers know the right steps to the Cubin shuffle, but they don't mind if we don't know the steps, get involved in the games and fun, put on that swim suit but don't forget the sunscreen, eat drink and be merry because in a blink of an eye the week will be over. And if someone or something gets your dander up, do your best to get over it and not let it ruin you fun. Some people can enjoy themselves no matter where they are, others will never have a good time, I tend to be in the first category and with that said here is our trip.
