I m always being asked if I d go back to cruising. Without hesitation, I answer: anytime you re ready, issue me a key card, toot the ship s horn – I m off. Why would I not want to travel in elegant ease? I love cruising s salty spray, the rattle of cocktail shakers, the seascapes, the port panoramas.
Of course, the abundant naysayers, most if not all who have never cruised, roll their eyes and trot out the anti-cruise cliches. Me? I smile and think about some of my best travel experiences: cruising the fiords, swimming with manta rays in Moorea, spotting polar bears on ice floes
