Reasons To Cruise

Reasons To Cruise

Several years ago I came across another blog by a cruise writer on “Inspired To Cruise”, and so even though I could list a bunch myself, I thought I'd list all of her inspirations. So.....

  1. To relax....absolutely the best way to enjoy a little rest and getting away from the daily routine.

  1. A good way to thank my family is to give them the opportunity to enjoy this type of vacation.

  1. To conquer my fears......of water, of seasickness, of the unknown.

  1. To honor a family member with a “cruise of a lifetime”, birthday, anniversary.

  1. To renew our vows is another way to seriously concentrate on why we chose our spouse.

  1. To keep a promise that one day we would celebrate a special occasion with a cruise.

  1. To fulfill a bucket list....one of the travel items that we've had for years.

  1. To quit smoking; inspired to kick the habit while at sea.

  1. To travel the world with a purpose; a journey to educate myself and family about geography and other people in our world.

  1. To escape the ice storm; getting away from bad weather is at least, mind and body, relaxing.

  1. To bridge a generation gap between our teenage grandchildren and their grandparents.

  1. Revisit wartime memories; depending, of course, on the itinerary.

  1. To surprise a loved one with their dream trip.

  1. To dance with my spouse....something we seldom do in our daily activities.

  1. To spoil the grandkids, showing them the world and at the same time getting to know other kids while engaged in ship activities.

  1. To take our last trip before the kids leave the nest....one last family memory together.

  1. To capture our dream of one day cruising on one of the “Love Boats”.
