My second cruise

After my first cruise, it took about five years to go on another cruise. My mom received a retirement package from her job and 2 free cruises was part of the package. The nice thing about that cruise was that it left from New York City so we did not need to fly.

I have to admit that I was overwhelmed when I went on Norwegian Dawn for the first time. Norwegian Cruise Lines has something called Freestyle Cruising. With Freestyle Cruising you can do anything that you want whenever you want. There are no set times for dinner and you can eat dinner at a time that you like and wherever you like.  Two Catholic priests were on the ship so ended up going to mass while my mother went to her seminars.

The first port we went to was Port Canaveral. The only place that my mom and I visited there was Walmart.  The second port was Miami.  We had an excellent lunch at a Mexican restaurant with some of the ladies from my mother's old job.

A Bahamas private island and Nassau were our final stops. One more great thing about the Norwegian Dawn is the Chocoholics buffet that occurred on the ship.
