Normally, I wouldn't think of going on this cruise. I've been to Port Canaveral, and was bored there. I wasn't impressed by the cruise line's private island (Great Stirrup Cay), so I didn't take the tender to the island. (My then girlfriend wasn't that impressed either, as the water wasn't clear, and the tenders were running with delays when we were there.) But I do want to get to Charleston for a day, as this is a port that is not often on cruises from New York.
With the exception of the single 8 day cruise which adds a stop in Nassau, Bahamas, all of these cruises are reasonably priced. Given that two of the stops are on US soil, and the other is on the company's private island, I figure that my risks of infection are minimized on this cruise. I don't plan to get off the boat in Florida, and I may stay on the ship when we're at the private island. But I will want to go out and see Charleston, and try and find out whether it is worth a return visit.
Yes, this will be a cruise in Marian mode - something I haven't done since my last cruise with my former cruise partner. Hopefully, she'll be happy doing what she now does without me as a friend. And I hope I will be just as happy having a stateroom to myself.
