The cruise was fine. At first we were flabbergasted by the smallness of the cabin. We found out that all the cabins are only big enough to hold a queen size bed. We asked for twin beds. Two wins are too big to fit in, so we had narrow beds - almost teen size. In addition there was a shortage of storage space. But we decided that here we were and we were going to make it work. In addition, my friend had specifically requested a veranda. Their version of a veranda was a heavy door leading onto the deck, with three chairs placed in front of our window. No privacy at all since everyone could use the deck. Having said that, we found the crew wonderful and everyone we came into contact with delightful. The entertainment was a trio consisting of a piano player (who also sang), a bass player and a drummer. We to know them on a more personal level and they were just great guys. They even played Take Five by Dave Brubeck for me. It was not something in their repertoire, but they played it. I was thrilled. The weather was great. We saw a lot of interesting things but the best was Niagara Falls. Only one word can describe the majesty of them - awesome. When we reached our final destination - Toronto - my cousin was there waiting for us and drove us to the airport. She is such wonderful person. So all in all, with a few glitches - it went fine. Thanks for asking.

So glad you got away and I am sure it was good for you!

@thisismarilynb
Welcome home...so glad the cruise was enjoyable after coming to terms with the cabin! The bathroom is a challenge, but once you master it~~you are good. You brought a smile to my face by mentioning Dave Brubeck! When I was in high school, while so many were fainting over Elvis, Dave Brubeck and Earl Bostic were my favorites. Niagra certainly reminds us of the power, beauty and majesty of Mother Nature. You certainly have folks who care and made new friends with the boys in the band~! xo💞

What cruise line did you use? Did you sail from NJ or NY ?

@thisismarilynb - I am so glad to finally get to your post on your cruise (after a few family medical issues which are controllable now!)...and find it had some good news, unexpected connections and more.
Just wanted to let you know & I'll be catching up on the rest of the posts since this one next.
Congrats, and cheers for you!
