At that time i was widowed for 15 months.

All would have been ok,but 3 days before leaving i hurt my back.

If that was not enough,the ship was cancelled and left one day late.

Next the ship broke down on the way to fiji,the captain announced we would receive a full refund,then we turned around and came back to sydney.

The worst part about all this,was the standing in line at the pursers deck,sometimes for half an hour or more,sore back and all.

One day a lovely young mother, helped me out with my paperwork,as this was all new to me,then she made me sit, while she stood in line with her and my paperwork for 45 minutes,i could not thank her enough,i tried to offer her something for her trouble,but she refused.

I tried to have a good time regardless,and put it all down to a learning experience.LOL.

the other writers who send in their information,i am reading just about everything.I am going on my first cruise in march, on the sun princess.Cheers from maryjo62.
