Welcome to the wonderful world of cruising! We felt the same way on our first cruise in 1998, and here we are nearly 40 cruises later. We will be on the Magic in January for cruises #40 & #41. Thanks for sharing your experience. It makes me more excited for our adventure. For us it still IS the best way to vacation!

I took my 1st cruise in 2013 and my sister told me that I would never want to vacation any other way. And she was 100 percent correct
