I did a Legacy cruise around NZ which was ok as far as the genie lectures were concerned, but am not keen to do another cruise, as I still have the same objections.

We'd never be allowed to do that today, but it was fun. We had about 2 hours to roam around the ship & pretend we were going on the cruise. Then the horn would blow warning visitors to leave & we'd stand on the dock & wave goodbye as the ship pulled away, catching some of the colorful streamers folks onboard were throwing down Didn't cost a penny & we had a great time!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410794479676555766.post-10225524058555037752014-10-30T22:41:20.729+11:002014-10-30T22:41:20.729+11:00The photo of your grandmother in costume reminds m...The photo of your grandmother in costume reminds me of a blog by Debi Austen of "Who Knew?" Her grandparents were on a cruise and there was a costume party, apparently a regular feature of cruising in that time period. Maybe that was the case with the cruise line your grandmother used. It looks like you have a fantastic trip planned with lots of interesting stops. See the world!
