I ask you to put away any preconceived notions you may have about cruises.
Don’t worry — I had them too, the most prominent of which was: “cruises are for old people.”
Ouch.
Though harsh, it was something I wholeheartedly believed prior to my first cruise, and is a thought many people who have never been on a cruise have firmly planted in their heads.
However, when embarking on my first oceanic voyage, my hypothesis that cruises were reserved for the older crowd was quickly disproven.
And, it was proven wrong yet again (to an even greater extent) when I stepped on board the hottest new cruise ship at sea — Norwegian Cruise Line’s Bliss.
