No, the time passed too quickly for us. Once you meet others and click with them – before you know it – – it’s
arrivederci. We’ve also enjoyed another 30-day cruise from Buenos Aires through the Panama Canal to Ft. Lauderdale. 30-day cruises are the way to go for us. Retirement life is sweet.

I think I would prefer the shorter cruises – did 32 days seem to long?

The early childhood days you mention in your article are gone – just good memories.

Now cruise lines don’t allow visitors aboard because of the Middle East troubles and terrorist activity world-wide that forces extra security and protection for innocents trying to enjoy their lives and/or retirement travels. We loved a portion of Holland America’s World Cruise 3-years ago from Buenos Aires to Sydney.

It was first class service and entertainment all the way for 32-days. Food was good too.

We recently took a cruise on Celebrity (September 2015). It was their New England/Canada Fall cruise from Cape Liberty, NJ. Yikes – – we were very disappointed with the cut backs in food, service and other amenities that we were used to aboard Holland America.

Even Celebrity’s poorly trained staff – – many unfriendly made an unpleasant cruise.

So, it’s back to Holland America for us.
