Hi Nancy,
Thank you for your words of encouragement. It means a lot!

Hello Panbear,
Thank you so much for your sweet and sincere words of encouragement! That's exactly what I need right now. I wish you were going on my cruise, I have a feeling we'd have a blast! I do plan to act confident and like I don't care what others think, but you know differently deep down. How did you meet your "flock"? I have a good friend who is also fluffy, but there is no way she and her husband can come with us. I'm sure once I get on the ship, and see the variety of people I will feel a bit better.
So, what kinds of excursions did you do? Where were your ports of call? I'm curious to see how you handled the activity. Do you have trouble walking? I'm simply out of shape. I am 40 years old, and way too young to feel so tired after walking such short distances. But I try very hard to keep up with my husband, and he tries to slow down to accomodate me. The heat is another story. Combine heat with walking and I'm a mess.
I'd love to find out if there are any other full-figured people going on my cruise. Maybe they'll read this thread and speak up!
We're going on the Oasis of the Seas on Feb. 5th, 2011.
Thank you again for your kind response!

Hello there. I can't believe this is the only thread about cruising as a larger person. But, I found it! So here goes. My husband and I are going on our first cruise in less than a month, and I am more than a little nervous. I am a big girl, and we are going on the Oasis. I'm so worried that I will be the biggest girl on the ship, and will be judged! I mean, I'm not super huge, but I am feeling like I'll stick out like a sore thumb. I'm worried about all the walking, on the ship and in the ports. I'd like to be able to relax and enjoy the ship, but I fear I will be too self conscious an end up staying on the balcony of my room. Am I crazy for feeling this way? Will there be other big people there? My husband is a bit husky, but very active. I think I'll be too afraid to do the excursions with him. I guess I'm looking for support, and words of advice. Any responses would be appreciated!

I just happened to read your post and see that you are in love with OUR favorite little spot on the ship! That little area with the adirondack chairs is so cozy! Many an evening, my husband and I would sit there sipping a cocktail and watching the wake behind the ship. Ahhhh, can't wait to go in March!
