I got the cruise addiction in April of 2018 on the Carnival Liberty and have been on three more cruises before COVID hit with two more planned for the future. With cruising you get the most bang for your buck. It is an all-inclusive hotel at sea where you unpack once and get to visit the exotic destinations of your dreams, We love it! Do not fret, I also do land vacations and river cruises if ocean cruising isn't for everyone. Looking forward to putting together your dream vacation!!! Doing some group cruises, etc.
