Very helpful information! I used to discuss a pared down list of excursion options with my husband, but other than that, I researched and planned everything. However similarly, I find making decisions for my house to be overwhelming, even though previously I had eventually taken care of almost everything myself; I think the difference is knowing there is no one else but you. I am in the process of researching a last minute cruise, which will have the most comforting characteristics I can think of: great price for suites (in case I choose to spend most of my time in the cabin, including some meals), cruise line I am very familiar with (free laundry / less luggage), ship I have sailed on previously (familiarity / emotional comfort?), itinerary I have been to multiple times (can stay on ship if I choose to or can walk around without feeling lost, also hopefully good memories), port I have been to many times. Only problem I can think of is getting to the port, which is a three hour drive, but @ 6 hours for a bus or flight. Thinking of renting car, driving @ 1/2 way , staying in a hotel and then driving to the port and turning in the car nearby. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!
