If in scrolling through my travels, you've somehow missed the vibe, I enjoy cruising. I enjoy it a lot. I haven't visualized the perfect vacation, but for me, I'd imagine it has a lot of common with cruises. Opportunities to be social on deck or alone in your room. You can go fancy with slacks and buttons or sandals and swim trunks. Live entertainment shows or mini-golf by your lonesome on the upper deck.
Where you are most likely to find me though is Serenity. On Carnival ships, aft, there is a wonderful haven for the over 21(mayhaps it's 18?) crowd. Away from the events happening midship and much of the music, there's a place to sit in the sun or the shade and just chill. I read books, I look at the water, I hop in the hot tub if I'm feeling that.
I don't need anything else to relax and that's what vacation should be, a respite from most things stressful. I do travel a little bit, but it's often work-driven. Great food in STL, but I was there for a conference. Going to Connecticut for the first time in 25 years, workshops. Even during the Baseball Trip two years ago, I visited a Deaf school in the area to see what they do. I love my job -- it doesn't always feel like work; I need vacations to feel like vacations.
First time cruising for Christmas. Got a great deal on a suite, first time in a suite. If you are sailing solo, ocean view or balcony is the way to go; with company, balcony or suite. Now I'm thinking about planning my next one!
