My Very First Cruise

My first cruise took place on January 6, 2019. Let me give you a little background. I decided to take my Social Security benefits when I became eligible, regardless of whether or not I was still working full-time, which I was. Part of my reason for taking my Social Security benefit at this time was so that we could afford this cruise, which was on one of my husband's bucket lists. Thinking this would be the only cruise we'd ever go on, I booked the best accommodations available. We decided to take our youngest daughter with us as she had done so much work for us around the house that we felt she needed a vacation. I booked us into a family suite in THE HAVEN.... there's a reason it's called that. This suite had two separate bedrooms and baths, a living room, a dining area, and, of course, a balcony.
