Hi Butterfl,
if you think you might want to try the 5 nighter from Jacksonville Dec8-13, I'd be glad to discuss going again if you care to. Right now VTG shows rate for me of $199 inside, $219 OV, and $309 Blacony. I'd pick OV at this price, but I'm agreeable to whatever you prefer. Check out my other posts for more info about me and let me know.
I'm 52, single and take a couple books along just in case, but enjoy doing stuff like jogging the deck or gym in the mornings (so you can sleep in if you like), bringing a fold-up bicycle for pedaling around ports. I have done karaoke once, but I've decided not to do it solo agian
I like the idea of dancing, untill they start the mob dancing by the pool where my miss steps get me in trouble . Jacksonville is close enough for me to drive too, and added bonus is I have a "couch surfing" friend that, last time, let me park at his place and then he drove me to and from the port.
