Agreed!! We cruise solely during this time of year as it works best with our schedules....it's always a fun time! My very first cruise in 2004 we got caught up in Hurricane Jean, waves were splashing onto our balcony on our deck above the bridge. We had the perfect view of the weather radar from our balcony and could see the storm we were outrunning. We rushed to return to port only to be turned away as we couldn't safely disembark in time for the ship to escape the storm. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I was happy to learn I don't suffer from seasickness. Thankfully we've cruised enough where we don't focus on specific destinations so much anymore, rather the experience as a whole. As I told my husband, we just have to make it on the boat, from there, it's all good!
