I'm glad we did it, and there was lots that was enjoyable, but I don't think it was quite me(good thing, really, given the eye-watering cost!).Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-58853086004579440442011-06-19T17:18:23.849+01:002011-06-19T17:18:23.849+01:00Very interesting to hear your opinions and observa...Very interesting to hear your opinions and observations, Frances. It can be a bit pretentious at times, but I suspect you were on one of the more upmarket cruises? They do vary quite a bit. Glad you managed to enjoy some of it. I've loved visiting some new places without actually staying there!Rosemary Gemmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311840205603508422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-51807698396224510982011-06-19T08:58:38.956+01:002011-06-19T08:58:38.956+01:00Thanks, Teresa and Colette.

Apart from the (slight) pretentiousness of it all, and the fact that it wasn't really me, what I missed was feeling part of a place; just cruising by and popping in sin't the same as actually staying there.<br /><br />But it's another cold grey morning, and this time last week...Sigh.Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-79977371787284751032011-06-19T07:42:22.518+01:002011-06-19T07:42:22.518+01:00Sounds great.Sounds great.Colette McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383068332228040704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-4629550115662043272011-06-18T16:16:49.458+01:002011-06-18T16:16:49.458+01:00Sounds as if the good bits outweigh the bad bits, ...Sounds as if the good bits outweigh the bad bits, Frances - it all sounds lovely.
