I cruised, with Marlene, a total of 48 nights in 2023. We will embark Sunday on another 14-night cruise, to Aruba, Curacao, Barbados and 5 other ports. It will be a lovely cruise, I am sure, but it would not have happened if it had been my choice. It comes right in the middle of softball season so I will be losing 20% of my potential at-bats (and the batting is going well after 3 games – I am over .500). But Marlene’s best friend Dottie is unable to make the trip for health reasons so I am taking her place.
This will be on the Carnival Conquest. This will put me into the “platinum” category at Carnival, so I will get my own chocolate-covered strawberries. Woo-hoo!
