Quilting on A Cruise
Have you ever traveled on a cruise? If not, you should. While it is not my favorite way to travel, I know, I am in the minority, it is something you should do at least once in your lifetime. Cruises allow one to be pampered to extreme. The food is abundant and a treat just to look at because of how it is prepared. The chefs on a cruise take pride in how they display their foods, making radishes into flowers etc. I have never seen so many beautiful displays.
The ice sculptures are another sight to behold. I was lucky enough to watch as an ice carver made a beautiful swan. I don’t know how they know where to start and stop. I am sure I would have a blob of ice if it were me making the sculpture.
The rooms are anything from simple to luxurious depending on the amount of money you want to spend. Even the least expensive rooms are still fun when your host makes monkeys out of your towels. Each day is a treat.
There are many theme cruises. From Elvis to Gospel quartets, join up with like minded enthusiasts. I have been reading as a quilting cruise is being planned. That would be my dream!
Uuh, I love cruises!!! Once I went on a one-week project for students on a Portuguese navy training ship with sails, and made out of wood that was absolutely beautiful. Of course, there was no comfort at all, being a real training ship, but the experience was fantastic. We sailed along the coast of Portugal and I saw dolphins and even a whale. It was a lot of hard work but it was one of the greatest times of my life. The ship’s name was Creoula.
Next time I hope I’ll get on a luxury cruise to enjoy myself a bit too.
There used to be an annual cross stitcher’s cruise that I was dying to go on. I’ve since lost touch with the mailing list so I’m not sure if they still do it or not, but I always dreamed of taking that cruise!
