I took the carnival elation and we went to cozumel

a quick 4 day trip. I would also reccomend not taking a cruise longer

than 4 maybe 5 days. It starts to get tiresome having almost everyone

that works on the ship if you want to buy a drink like every 3-4

minutes sometimes. I swear I was at the pool and someone came by every

3-4 minutes as asked if I wanted a drink they must have done that for

20 minutes.

Well, you did take a "booze cruise", a short festive cruise on the WalMart of cruise lines.

I don't drink alcohol, and never was bothered more than once or twice a day if I wanted a drink (on other lines).

Longer cruises have more sober people, it might be because it is harder to go on a week long drunk. I don't know.

Earlier this year I took a 14 day cruise. It was way too short. I went to lectures and other classes and demonstrations. I usually took in a movie a day. I exercised daily, and I ate about six meals a day. I read books and played board games. I went to music recitals. I avoided the musical theater because I am not into "Glee" type productions, but those were well attended.. I played poker and watched TV.

I tried to ditch my traveling companion whenever possible. I am not attached at the hip. But there is an advantage to knowing at least one other person on the boat. You couldn't get anyone to go with you? The price difference would have been minimal.
