I have booked a few cruises for our family during hurricane season. Only once was I concerned, I let my wife know but didn't tell the kids as to not worry them. Weather was lousy on our way out of port but that was it. It was the smoothest and most cloudless cruise ever. Just stunning. And I will add that I get insurance for all of our cruises, summer or winter.

We have done a fair amount of cruising, but all of it in the Caribbean. Being from Minnesota we always look for warm weather and warm water. My favorite would be our first cruise, it was our honeymoon 10 years in the making. We sailed on the Celebrity Mercury and it was fantastic. So many firsts and so much fun that we did the unthinkable, after promising to not cruise again for a while because of $$, we booked another cruise shortly after returning home. We fell hook line and sinker into cruising.

Best of luck, I am the same. I will do everything I can to get my wife what she wants. ❤️

For those talking about Longshoreman and wages, here you go. Not sure how accurate it is and of course they don't have a way of knowing how much they make in tips. This reminds years ago we had a DIRECT flight from Minneapolis to Orlando and the airline lost two of our four bags. On a seven day family of four trip, it took three days to reconnect with the lost bags. Luckily for my wife and daughter we mix up clothes when we pack, so they had some of their clothes and were able to shop at the stores on the ship. Insurance covered everything.

I get that funny feeling it's ending on a 10 day cruise, I can't imagine what you two are going through. Just a really fun blog, I'm so glad I came across it. I read it every morning and then as my wife and I prepared the daycare lunch I share what I read. I am sure that we would love to have your company on one of our trips, such fun positive people. Thank you from both of us.
