self-discovery you know a lot of people get dependent upon their partners and uh other people and just going through life itself in general uh you need somebody to have you ever asked somebody hey what do you want to eat oh I don't know what do you want to eat

meeting new people is one of the things that I love especially with the longer cruises because you get you get to become more intimate as far as knowing people
