My "dream" vacation is to visit Figi, don't know why but
I do.
Of course I keep thinking about not having my "comfort"
things near me while I am on the cruise. Things like, my
fabric, sewing machines, scissors, etc. I AM taking my laptop
so that I can at least "design" some quilts in EQ7 maybe that
will sustain me a little bit while gone.
Maybe I will find some fabric shops; what do you think?
louise there are so many things to do on a cruise that the least thing i would worry about is something to do and it depends on how many ports you will visit will crusing. i have never seen fabric shops in port cities nor have i looked for any when visiting the cities. i am usually on excursions to see what's to discover in that place. once you know what cruise line you will be traveling on, you can go to their website and find out about the excursions they have in each port stop so that you can plan what you want to do.
on the sail days (no port stops) you do things on the ship like revue shows, eat, bingo, eat, movies on deck, eat, lounge shows, eat, art auctions, eat, talent shows, eat, etc. did i say eat? you can sun bathe on the side of the ship or read a book or play games, or swim dip in the pools, or sip the drinks with the umbrellas while you relax in the cool breeze. with the alaskan cruise you will be viewing all sorts of glaciers and marine life. hopefully you will not be thinking about quilting. just be prepared to enjoy yourself. oh and be sure to take some clothing that is comfortable and expandable.
as for fiji, i wanna go also. i have been fascinated with the south pacific and i definately want to visit there and bora bora. it's all on my bucket list.
