As we spent the day cruising from Puerto Vallarta to Hautulco, I’ll talk about shipboard life. Years ago, I thought it would not be fun to be trapped on a ship for a number of days. After my first cruise, I was hooked. For the amount of fun and the low cost it is a great experience. Holland America and the QM2 attract an older traveler but the fun is still there. It just doesn’t extend much past midnight. On most cruises there are formal nights in the main dining room. It’s a great chance to pull out your fine duds. On our eighteen day cruise we had five formal nights. This is a little more than normal but you know the old folks life to dress up. The Statendam has three pools, six plus bars, a casino, a spa, a great library, food service at any time of the day or night and a string quartet to entertain a few of us after dinner. I mostly missed the evening stage shows, too much to do in other areas. The one time I looked in on a show there was a Canadian comedian explaining that Canadians were just like Americans, except unarmed and with health care.. Sandy loved to sit around after dinner and listen to the Adagio Strings and sip Spanish Coffee. Spanish coffee starts with a little flamed Sanbuco, then Kahlua, congac, coffee and whipped cream.
