I have discovered that telling people you’re going on your first cruise is like telling people you are pregnant.<\/p>\n

From those who have cruised you hear:<\/p>\n

\n
1. Their experience (good or bad)<\/li>\n
2. Advice (you should, you shouldn’t, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   From those who have not cruised you hear:<\/p>\n

   \n
   1. I’ve always wanted \/ not wanted to do that.<\/li>\n
   2. How can you do that with all the trouble they have?<\/li>\n
   3. It’s so expensive!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      At least with a cruise no one pats my stomach or tries to predict what gender I’m having. I learned with my pregnancies how to listen politely and absorb what I wanted and discard the rest. I am applying the same tactics now, so bring on the comments (about cruising, not pregnancy – I’m done with that phase) and let me know what you think!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
