For vacation this year, we went on our first-ever cruise! I was a little nervous going in — I get motion sickness, so I really didn’t know what to expect. I could feel the boat moving, but thankfully (with a little help from some Dramamine) I never actually got sick.
The water in the Bahamas was absolutely beautiful. My one struggle was all the walking — between my back and hip flexor issues, I had to keep stopping to sit down, which wasn’t so fun for the rest of the family. I’m determined to get that sorted before our next trip!
I’d love to go back and see more of the Bahamas someday, just maybe not on a cruise. One thing I learned: cruises run on a schedule, and we are not a schedule kind of family on vacation, so that took some adjusting. Honestly, I think I prefer flying somewhere and just settling in over cruising — but I wouldn’t call this my last cruise. And I was surprised to hear Aaron say the same thing!
