I posted earlier and still say "go for it" .... that said... if you search out the forum here... I'm sure you'll see many postings for and against.... and MINE... the one I did was put on by a LQS (not in business now) but in my opinion the owner did not plan it in a way that would be pleasing to others... except for herself and her young family that she had with her. This particular cruise left from Houston after the show... which was also in the agenda...but poorly planned as we missed events, etc. Our project was a hand project and the venue..... the disco room... white plastic chairs and very poor lighting....BUT.... I think that if you went with an internationally known teacher you would be thrilled. Our quilting group were certainly not noisy nor rude, BUT..... you do encounter this no matter what road you choose to walk these days, unfortunately.
This last 21 day cruise we did to the Panamas... you receive a notice under your door with events.... I was thrilled that every "at sea" day there was a stitch and bitch event planned. (DH was with me but happy to do his own thing while I enjoyed the company of fellow stitchers). We had a lovely time and learned a little from each other.... some of us quilted....crocheted...knit... etc. If you have the health and the funds.... try it and judge for yourself.... I think you will have a wonderful time... and yes... pay extra for the privilege of your own cabin space, but it's worth it, if you need it.
I will try to attach a picture of our little group.... some days there were one or two.... other days 15....[ATTACH=CONFIG]537769[/ATTACH]
