I just got back from a cruise this week. The first thing I saw, before even I got on the boat, was a group of people all wearing shirts that read Keep Calm and Cruise On. At this point, I hadn’t been on a cruise in about eight years. I was a little excited and nervous because I couldn’t remember what it was like. These shirts stood out to me and made me that much more excited to set sail. For those of you who haven’t been on a cruise, this pretty much portrays what it’s like!

When you find out you’re going on a cruise:

Not having WiFi or service on the ship:

It's not as bad as it sounds! It was nice to detach from the outer world.

Being with your family and friends:

Feeling like you’re on the Titanic:

Eating whenever, wherever, and whatever:

Dressing up for dinners:

Or just dressing up the entire time!

Access to all of the ice cream you want:

Being able to “expand your horizons” and try new food:

Having waiters who don’t judge how much you eat:

At least, not to your face

Drinking alcohol whenever:

But being around obnoxious drunks:

Seeing the islands:

Participating in excursions:

Trying to remember everything you’re doing for future reference:

Dying in the heat:

Going to the ship’s casino:

And losing all your money:

People getting sea sick around you:

Having dance parties whenever music comes on:

Which is pretty much all the time.

All the romance:

Leaving the ship:

A cruise is like a bundle of emotions, mostly good ones though! This past week has been some of the best days of my life. I love traveling and doing just that by boat was absolutely gorgeous. I loved every second. If you can ever go on a cruise, I highly recommend! I’m sure the entire cast of The Office would agree with me too!
