Do you know how many people who tried to talk me out of going on my "Easy Cruise"? Why did they?

-It was an unknown cruise line.
-I was going (gasp!) ALONE.
-One friend told me I would be drugged
and kidnapped.
-I didn't speak the language(s).
-I am a woman.
-I read on 3 cruise forums different
coversations about 'easy cruise' and how it would be "horrible" and a bad decision. None of these people had been on the Easy cruise!

My cruise was a blast, I met wonderful
people and saw amazing places. And it was Cheap!

How many comfort zones is that? :)
It was one of my better decisions.
In fact, now, in my everyday life, I look for routes I've never taken, just to see what's there.

hmmm, maybe I should read the book that has been on my shelf for 10 years, "The Road Less Traveled"....

Each day on my cruise, I met up with my new friends and we planned our "Next Adventure"... It was a highlight of my day: The unknown.

Just smile alot and say, "bon" if things are good, give it a little nod.
I learned on my cruise that shrugs, gestures and expressions (smiles) go a long way! You will begin to speak in
tiny, simple English sentences! Ha.

I can't wait to read about your adventures. We got to ride a bus filled with middle school kids and they
loved to try out their English on us.

I hope you have a great time, because I want a reason to go back!

:)

I don't know how to post a pic online, but will send you my favorite picture from my entire week,

it's in Martinique...

you can email me personally
and give me your email if you
trust a stranger from Fodors...
Ha.

(Gasp)....you went ALONE & trusted Easy Cruise....AND knowing you could get drugged and kidnapped....OMG That IS a lot of comfort zones!!! That's brave though, I admire people that can open up and meet others easily. I'm usually worried I'll come off as a moron. Wait...which is worse, moron or idiot??? Anyway, some people are just a little more adventurous, I fall into that group too. I'm usually the one with the near death experience or the person everyone talks about in the coming weeks...(sigh)....but the thing is, I wouldn't change my life for a minute. Well...maybe I'd change a few things....ok - quite a few....but that's it!!!

Well, it was either be the loner freak on the boat or just be sociable. I was the one who met a lot of different people and then pulled stragglers into the group. We had fun. It was a group of people all off on a crazy adventure...we were the band of Easy People... :) aka "the Simple Life goes to the Caribbean" There was no one I would have voted off the boat!

After booking my trip, I had to go, I couldn't back down and let the naysayers be right!!

hmmmmm...The Simple Life? I'm going to have to find your trip report and see if you behaved yourself!ha!
