My Zone - life's a beach but it never ebbs

 We have become cruise addicts! When I say this, I mean for real. We've been on one family cruise but have one more on the books for Spring Break (woohoo) 2025! I am also pricing cruises for my 50th birthday (November 2025). I wanted to go on a cruise for years. Trying to talk the husband into it was like pulling teeth.
