Cindy Brady On Cruising

Editorial Summary

Cindy Brady discusses her experience being inducted into the cruising community as a ship godmother during a christening ceremony. While she expresses a lifelong passion for ships dating back to a childhood trip on the QE2, she admits she previously avoided cruising because she perceived it as too commercial. She explains that her prior preference was to avoid planned tours in favor of more authentic, rugged travel experiences. However, her recent travels with Princess Cruises have changed her perspective. She describes a specific excursion in Turkey where she and her sister shared lunch in a 300 year old house with a local family and visited a local shop. Brady notes that these planned activities provided the intimate, local connections she typically seeks when traveling. She concludes by stating that she would definitely cruise again, noting that the smoothness of the vessel was a pleasant surprise given her history with motion sickness.
