Creator's Key Takeaways
I went on my first cruise in 2001 my mom asked me if we wanted to take advantage of some of the post 911 price reductions and go on a cruise
I did fall in love with cruising but despite moving to a Cru Port I lived in gston Texas on the Island within half a mile from the cruise port for over 5 years and I never went on a cruise
we were officially hooked since then I've gone on over a dozen cruises everywhere from Mexico and the Mexican Riviera to the Baltic
I have not yet taken a luxure cruise I've never been on one of the you know luxury lines um I've only been on I've been on a couple of the premium lines
