Western carribean cruise in Oct???
 
We are planning a first time cruise on the Sensation out of Tampa for our 25th anniversary. We enjoy nitelife, and have never been to Mexico. Any tips on this cruise?

Start drinking early, drink a lot, dance til the close the disco, make love to your wife as often as you can, go to all the shows, gamble what you can afford, lay out by the pool and get a tan, make a new friend and eat at every occasion that they offer food. That's what I try to do on my cruises. <BR><BR>Just kidding. Have a fun and you know, if you're on a cruise you will!

Don't make a big deal out of the ports. Remember you will be away from them by 6PM at the latest. Utilize the nightlife on the ship. Next time you might want to try another line more condusive to your age group. Princess and Holland America are good. Don't eat or drink anything in Mexico. There will be more than enough to consume on the ship.

<BR>Hi Tim,<BR><BR>You will really enjoy the Sensation. Great itinerary and great price. Tampa is a senior citizen port therefore the majority will be seniors. The cruise up the Mississippi is an added treat. <BR><BR>Watson has it right. Cruising is great fun.<BR><BR>Enjoy,<BR><BR>Paul
