I have read quite a few of your posts, and you seem quite well traveled. I’m not sure if I’ve seen you comment on Holland America Cruises and whether you like them or not. I’m doing a B2B on the Nieuw Amsterdam on 2/5 & 2/12. I am a widow and I have done approximately.6 solo trips (and while my late husband was alive, we did approximately 10 together ).
While I enjoyed traveling with my late husband, I have found a certain almost undefinable, sense of freedom and leisure traveling solo. No matter how many cruises I’ve been on, I have such a child like attitude about them. From the moment I plan a cruise, even though it might be one year away, I drag out my suitcase, and start filling it! I am like a child going to Disneyland the first time and the 30th!!
