Tam
Our first cruise was 14 years ago with our kids.
Now, as you, our last also graduated high school last year and we're off again for an adventure in the sea!
I think that you picked an excellent cruise for your first.
5 nights is about perfect!
A week is long for a first timer when you're not sure of how well cruising suits your style.
If, as most, you find that you really enjoy it, 5 nights will leave you wanting a little more.
Good news.............today is the last day of this month, so we have only the shortest month of the year between us and Tampa!
Before ya know it we'll be packin'!
