I think you finally nailed down what makes me tick in retirement...always having something to look forward to. The big C put a damper on our first couple years of retirement, but we've been going at it pretty hard ever since. I love planning our travels. It is one of my great joys and I'm so glad I have time for it now. Always Be Booked is a great motto to live by!
this one is brilliant! full of energy & charging ahead 🎉 {But # 8 not fot me - when that ship is ready for me, I want to be on it - as early as possible}
I totally agree with you on the Embarkation Day advice! And I'm about to do my second Solo cruise the end of October to Canada..........I had a blast the first time!
When visiting a new island I try to take a tour that provides some history and talks about the culture - #9 Arriving late can be sketchy. I was once delayed by almost 2 hours arriving to Port Canaveral because of a car accident. If that happened late in the day on a late arrival plan I would have likely missed the sailing. #8 Most of my cruises are solo. I do enjoy cruising with friends and family but solo can be liberating. #5 ABB. Yes indeed. I have 6 in the next 17 months. Cheers! #1 Great show. Thanks Tommy.
5:10 - I understand your reasons for #8 - but I still subscribe to getting on the ship early - I get the port 11-11:30, the initial rush is gone, get onboard fast, muster drill, a leisurely lunch at a speciality restaurant to avoid the crazy embarkation buffet and by then rooms are open. Unpack workmanlike style and by 2 PM administrative duties are done and I’m enjoying the ship. 🛳️
4:15, number 8. If you arrive early to the ship, you will drag your carry-on until 1:30, when the cabins are ready.

So glad you're feeling better and back at it. Thanks for watching!
The big C sucks!
You’re never depressed if you Always Be Booked!
No. 8. My best kept secret. Avoid that messy crowd.
Right? But it freaks a lot of people out.
Love #7 - love connecting music to a specific memory. Also #4 my husband and I went to the gym or walking track every morning. Nice tips!
Right? Overlooked. But definitely helps when you want to go back to your vacation...even if its only in your mind
Yes. It's underrated. Do you have any vacation songs that you associate with specific trips?
My favorites are dance like no one is watching, hear as much music as your soul can take, and participate in everything that makes you laugh.
Absolutely. Should have included that in the "comfort zone" one
That is a great one. A few trips to the bar helps me with that

Thanks Deb....yes. Lots of push back on number 8
100% agree Deb!

Me too Bill! NCL Viva ten days ending in Lisbon!

Agree. Arriving late is not for everyone.
Yup. I definitely know some will disagree with this one.
Always like hearing helpful tips🐸
Thanks so much for watching!
Don't support #8, we love starting our cruise as early as we can😎🐸
Oh yea. Number 8 is the controversial one lol
Looks like a Tarantino film compared to bubbas cruising nonsense
haaaaa a little less blood though
