This was a reunion of classmates from nursing school. last year we flew to New Orleans. This year we decided to take a cruise and I glad that we did. This was my first cruise and I had a ball. The cabin was nicer than I thought it would be and very comfortable. The view was magnificent . All of the crew was very friendly and I really got a kick out of the "towel art" ;eft in our room. There were lots of activities to choose from. The food was very good; lots of variety to choose from. Being from the south I was glad to see grits for breakfast. My only suggestion would be that more information be given in the daily letter in regards to transportation that is available once you are off the boat. Having to pay to go to the local beach was also a surprise. My over all experience was great!
