Loved reading.
This is my first article I read and I am very happy and equally proud that you love our country and enjoy here.
Thanks for such good words.

I’ve only ever done a cruise once and that was in Egypt and perhaps you could hardly call it a cruise but a charter. We were only 100 people, and everyone was German except for me! I still enjoyed the trip though as we cruised along the River Nile. To be honest, it was a godsend here as it was far too hot and I fanited on the first day so I guess being able to sleep in a clean cabin was welcoming!

I’m enjoying reading about India Alyson as I love the country. I’ve only ever been to Rajasthan and would love to go to Mumbai. I know a lot of people don’t like it but I have a feeling that I would, as I like cities with history. I didn’t like Delhi though. Go figure!

Thanks for your great post Alyson. I enjoyed reading it so much. Have never done a cruise yet but have been to India before the kids, so can totally understand what you are saying with all that. Look forward to your next port of call. Hoping to travel more like you do with my kids and inspired through your posts. Thanks and keep well.

I am not a fan of cruise ship excursions either. I have done them in the past but we totally avoided them last cruise and explored all the ports ourselves – lots more fun! I can see why they appeal to a certain class of traveller though, and I imagine many people on a cruise probably fit into that class.

It’s interesting reading about the demographic shift on a long cruise. It makes a lot of sense but I wouldn’t have thought of it. I know we went to a couple of activities on our last cruise with our 1 and 3 year olds that attracted an older crowd and then it was much harder for us as many were frustrated by our kids making any noise. Thankfully, the rest of the time it was very family friend though.
